This was one of the ultimate highlights of my trip! Our guide, Hung, met us right in our hotel lobby on time and off we went. Since we started the day as our hotel’s breakfast started and didn’t get coffee before we left, they stopped for us to get some. Hung was a VC vet and our driver was a South Vietnamese vet. The stories they were able to tell were unmatched by any experience I’ve had on any trip. Ben Duoc itself was incredible. There were very few tourists, and the ones that were there that we met were all Vietnamese. If you do go to Ben Duoc, be sure to have a good guide, as everything is only in Vietnamese. Our guide had to translate everything, including the movies.
