“Excellent Tour of Mekong Delta”
Mekong Tour: Cai Be Village and Xeo Quyt Forest. Excellent tour and guide. Lee is very knowledgeable and patient explaining about the Mekong Delta and answering our many questions. Native to the areas visited. Tour takes you away from the main tourist spots in the delta and into more authentic areas. Plan on at least 9 hours for the tour. Highly recommend.

“Interesting and Educational Tour”
Lee is very knowledgeable, easy to understand and accommodating. The Cu Chi Tunnels tour itself is interesting and educational. Lee not only provides rich detail he also poses questions that bring you into the tour and makes the information more memorable. Would recommend the tour and Lee as your guide.

Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Full Day from Ho Chi Minh
Approximately 70km away from Ho Chi Minh City's centre, Cu Chi tunnels is one of the most famous historical vestiges of Viet Nam's national liberation war. The network consists of over 200km of tunnels connected with one another like a cobweb. With determination and endurance the tunnels were dug and removed with rudimentary tools, then camouflaged the openings so well that nobody could find them.
