It is well worth booking this tour as you get to understand far more about Vietnam, the people the culture and the long history of war. It would be quite easy to visit all the sites yourself but what we learned about the Reunification Palace cannot be read in a guide book. The pick up was on time the service exemplary and the lunch that is included is really good. The guide Tai was great and his English good. I would have no hesitation in using Buffalo Tours again
