Thuan is friendly and provided good explanations of the area. He seems very knowledgeable and approachable. Would recommend the half day tour as it didn’t take too long to complete and still allowed for other activities in the 2nd half of the day.
Nothing Premier about this tour unfortunately other than our Guide HaHa (yes thats his name). he was friendly and kept the atmosphere light but its a terrible half day tour. Not recommended at all. Its a small group tour of 12, got picked up first at 12:20 from district 1 and got dropped off last at walking street at 19:20pm so 7 hours all up and total time spent at the tunnels was less than 90 minutes and that too included whatever time 3 from our touring party spent shooting. 1st rest stop was at some sort of a factory (typical tourist trap) but no sale pressure. Cafe at the rest stop was pretty ordinary. Avoid. Rather do a full day tour of Tunnels and Mekong Delta and save yourself 4/5 hours of travel time
Be dressed for the occasion. Suggest insect repellent. A good set of shoes and towel as the humidity is very high
