I felt great knowing about war from watching videos in YouTube about Vietnam war to knowing the war remnants in reality.

Hung, the trip guide explained about the Cu Chi tunnels and the Vietnam geography and the history very well, she was interactive and helped our group to know about the war memorials, Vietnamese farmers, and the warfare techniques. Overall spent good time.
