Fantastic and memorable holiday. Just went on a tour to Ho Chi Minh City and it was an absolute blast. Our guide was knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of interesting facts and insights into Vietnam's history and significance. The Cu Chi Tunnels were impressive. It was amazing to see the intricate network of tunnels that were used during the Vietnam War. The guide gave us a lot of information about the tunnels and the tactics used by the Viet Cong, which made the experience even more engaging. Finally, we went on Long Xuyen floating market and Ben Tre which was a great way to explore South Vietnam. The views of the river were breathtaking and the food was delicious. The staff on sampan cruise were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I had an amazing time on the tour and would highly recommend Auasia Travel and this tour to anyone visiting the South. It was a great mix of history, culture, and relaxation, and I learned a lot about the country and its people.Less
