Amazing Tour with Tri - Felt Like Traveling With a Local Friend

5.00I had an incredible full-day tour with Tri. He’s super friendly, warm, and easy to talk to — it felt more like exploring with a local friend than a tour guide. He’s passionate about the Cu Chi Tunnels and Vietnam’s history, and as a history buff, I loved how he used photos and visuals to explain everything in order to show the resilience of the Vietnamese people. Tri asked before the trip if I was okay trying this new Tân Lap floating river route that he was testing. I’m so glad I did! It was less touristy, more authentic, and a real highlight. We tried fresh snails, had a relaxing warm foot soak, and got a glimpse of local life. I hope he keeps this route for future travelers. You should def sign up for this if it's avaliable to you. He also took tons of great photos along the way as he knew which spots and angles were the best. Highly recommend Tri for a personal, fun, and memorable experience!

5.00Fantastic day out exploring the Cu Chi tunnels and visiting the floating village area of the Tan lap. Our tour guide 'Tri' was brilliant in both his persona and his knowledge of each area. Great day trip all round and would definitely recommend.
