Ho Chi Minh Tour Reviews
Susan Z.
Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Full Day from Ho Chi Minh
“Great Excursion, Great Guide”
The excursion to the tunnels and the Mekong was very well planned out. Lee did a great job in structuring the excursion ensuring that our group of 4 were well isolated from the many large tour buses also visiting the tunnels. Lee's historical knowledge is excellent. The retelling of his father's stories from when his father was involved fighting for his country were extremely interesting. Lunch in the Mekong was most enjoyable, as was the boat rides and the visit to the coconut candy factory. Thank-you Lee for making the day very memorable.

“Lee made our trip!”
My son and I met Lee for a private tour of the city. He is very accommodating as far as our start time and flexibility as to where and what you want to see. His English is flawless and his sense of humor made us laugh throughout the day. We found we became fast friends. He found a catholic orphanage I was looking for and took us there. The eco village is a highlight as the locals go there to get away from the city. We were so impressed with Lee we hired him privately for 2 more days. You won't regret having Lee as your private guide. I think you will enjoy the sights more with him. He is very knowledgeable about Saigon and his love of his country shines through! Thank you for making our trip that much more memorable by sharing your history and knowledge of Vietnam in a fun and joyous way!
