Greater tour. We loved...

Greater tour. We loved our guide Killua! He explained about the history of Vietnam and not only the tunnels. Recommend them!

Great way to see the tunnels.

Very average experience

Anoju_D, Jan 2023

Very average experience for a very interesting part of Vietnamese history booked as a private tour. Both tour guide and driver seemed disinterested and keen to just get through the day as quickly as possible. Most of our time was spent travelling to and from the tunnels (approx 4 hours both ways). We left at just after 8am and were back at our hotel by 2pm. Sadly, we cannot recommend this tour with this company. I have been to the cu chi tunnels previously with a very engaged tour guide and this made all the difference.

A must when visiting Ho Chi Minh City

Jack (Thanh) is an amazing tour guide. Our 14-year old son thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of Vietnam with Jack's dynamic way of explaining quite a complex subject. All in all, it was a fun and educational experience for us all.

Excellent and knowledgeable

Chris and Win were excellent. They had the knowledge and history of the tunnels and history of the country. Very friendly and welcoming guys. I would recommend them any time. They even treated us for lunch. Loved every bit of this experience .
