The tour was very interesting and taught my teenagers and I a lot about the impact of war in Vietnam and how the country is moving forward towards a brighter future. They were fascinated and a bit scared about the tactics and tricks that soldiers used. There were lots of objects from the war, like a tank, remnants of the tunnels, and traps that were used at the time.
Apart from the tunnels, there was a stop along the way where artisans impacted by Agent Orange made impressive paintings and artwork using eggshells. The boat trips to the coconut candy factory and the bee farm were very fun and interesting.
Our tour guide, Alex, was very kind and helpful. He helped us translate Vietnamese words we didn’t know and was fun to converse with. Alex made the trip livelier and fun. Overall, this was a very interesting and educational tour and we would definitely recommend it!
