We visited many scenic spots, and the knowledgeable tour guide provided detailed explanations. The cable car ride offered beautiful views shrouded in mist. The Guanyin statue standing atop the mountain was magnificent. At the Maitreya Buddha Square, we enjoyed a water dance and music performance that brought a sense of tranquility. The ancient roads, bunkers, tunnels, machine gun emplacements, cannons, and helicopters allowed us to experience the atmosphere of wartime. It was a historically rich trip.
The day's itinerary was packed, but the tour guide's arrangements were excellent and efficient. A trip to Ho Chi Minh City includes the Cu Chi Tunnel, a must-see, and the Mekong River cruise was a truly memorable experience, filled with enjoyable traditional Vietnamese music and songs. Special thanks to our tour guide Phong and bus driver Hai for their professional service.
Our tour guide, Bao, was very dedicated and responsible. He provided detailed explanations and arranged the itinerary appropriately. The company seemed quite large, and they arranged pick-up and drop-off in the first district or the city center. The entire trip was very cost-effective!
For less than 2000 yen, the plan included hotel pick-up (though limited in scope) (even without the pick-up, the office is right next to Ben Thanh Market, so you can use your time productively until the last minute), a round trip of about 50 kilometers, and of course the entrance fee to the Cu Chi Tunnels. I didn't understand English or Vietnamese, but the person speaking spoke so clearly that my voice was easily picked up by the translation app, so I had no complaints. There were some toilet breaks and merchandise stalls along the way, which was a nice touch, but there was no pressure to buy, so don't worry.
The tour guide was very nice, and the trip was definitely worthwhile. Ak seems to be on the verge of collapse.
