I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Vietnam’s history and culture. The Cu Chi tunnels were a fascinating and educational experience. The short documentary was informative and gave me a deeper understanding of the tunnels’ significance. Firing the weapons was a thrilling experience. The Mekong Delta was equally as enjoyable, with the fish farms and fruit orchards being a great way to experience local life. Mr. Nam Ngo’s orchard was a lovely addition, and the honey tea was delicious. The coconut candy making demonstration was a highlight of the trip
