Very kind, respectful and attentive guides, with many insights on the daily life of the inhabitants in the places we visited. Off the beaten track.

Ended up just being 2 of us so it was so nice to have our own private tour! Our tour guide Gy was so friendly, and we made many pit stops where she shared more about the local culture and history. We had so much fun riding off the beaten path - got to enjoy coffee, local fruits from the market and fresh coconuts as part of the tour. Gy also made sure we were safe on the roads, providing clear instructions too :)

Nhung meticulously planned a truly unforgettable experience. We drove out to her mother’s farmhouse, stopped at a local market, ate a healthy, delicious Vietnamese breakfast with her extended family, not only did we visit the Cu Chi tunnels, Nhung patiently described each installation. We then went back to her house for lunch, seeing the extended family again felt like we were at home. After lunch she brought us on a bike ride to the canals, again patiently explaining how they were hand dug. Before we left, we ate fruits we had picked up in the market. Nhung and her family went out of their way to make us feel like family while sharing their experiences during wartime and afterward, while also learning about their beautiful farm, I highly recommend this experience.

Our visit to the floating markets etc was definitely one of our highlights despite an early start of 2am! The day was 'tipping' with rain but that did not deter our Guide and Boatman making it very memorable.

The host was very engaging and informative about how fish sauces were made. It was really fun trying different kinds of food with a variety of fish sauces. The team made the experience very fun and experimental.
