Overview

We are the only company in Ho-Chi-Minh city to offer a small-group tour to Ben-Duoc tunnels, a non-touristy route for those who want to get insight of the Vietnam War. Bến Dược tunnels is about 20km farther away than popular-Bến-Đình area and attracts fewer foreign tourists. There is also a massive temple in memory of Vietnamese killed at Củ Chi, it is, at present, the largest war memorial in Việt Nam. If you are looking for an authentic experience to a less touristy site in a small budget, this package is a perfect choice for you.

Saigon August 2024

Published on Aug, 2024

What a fabulous time my cousin and I had in Saigon 14-18 August 2024. Our first time in Vietnam. All the tours were fantastic and the individuals that looked after us on our various tours were wonderful, always on time and delivered what was advertised. Special thanks to James, HJ and Sam our guides to CuChi, Mekong Delta, Foodie and Cooking Class tours. The tours themselves were very good value and transportation comfortable. Nothing was ever too much trouble and all guides were knowledgeable and generous with their information. Cannot recommend higher. Thankyou to Asiana Link Tours- will defiantly book them again.
