Excellent value with a local history expert

Enormous thanks to Bunny for today's tour! Highly recommend booking this for a small group, the hotel pick up and drop off made today so easy for us. Bunny is a history buff and was so helpful answering all of our questions big and small, taking the time to show us hidden details and stories of the Cu Chi tunnel complex. 10/10!!

Informative tour seamlessly guided through by wonderful guide, Bunny

The tour operator was extremely helpful when we had to reschedule and change of your from the full day tour to the half day. They kept us informed and gave us top class service. Our tour guide Bunny arrived on time and was waiting downstairs to take us to the van (after confirming timing and location the evening before via WhatsApp). Bunny gave a detailed history of Vietnam covering not only the tunnels and the “Vietnam” or “American” war depending on your perspective. She kept us refreshed with chilled water and information on the drive out to the tunnels. The process of entering the tunnels was painless with no waiting in queues as you are whisked through that part. She gave detailed information on the tour through the site and ensured that he could spend as long or little time at each stage as we wanted. I would happily recommend both the tour company and Bunny. I cannot think of anything that would have made the experience better.

Amazing experience with Bunny

We had an wonderful time. Bunny let us go at our own pace. She is great at history and explained everything in detail. She waited for us to explore the tunnels and gun shooting range. We recommend this tour. Also, the car that picked us up had AC, was super clean, and it smelled amazing. Great driver too got us there and back on time and safe.

We had a fabulous day...

We had a fabulous day with Max our tour guide. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was very hot, my daughter felt a bit faint, so take a fan if you can. Lots to learn about the war, very sad history, Max taught us well and answered all our questions.
