Meet your host

Hi, I'm Nhung, from a village near Cu Chi Tunnels. I was born in a small and quiet village close to Cu Chi Tunnels where my other 2 sisters were born underground. No tree can survive in the village due to the bombs during the war but now it's fruit-full through-out the year with rice field, peanut and tropical fruits. I'm passionate about sharing my hometown's rich history and the beauty of local life. Through my tours, you'll experience the countryside, try local food, and support our community by interacting with villagers and helping on their farms.'
