Informative, Enjoyable and Great Value

Great trip to the Cu Chi Ben Duoc Tunnels. Tri and his driver were excellent hosts and made the visit very enjoyable and comfortable. Tri’s knowledge of the history of the tunnels and the associated war history was extremely informative and added greatly to the experience. Fantastic value!

Tunnel exploring

The 1 Day Trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels was very fun. Our Tourguide Ken was able to tell us a lot about the History of it and some interesting facts. Going through the narrow Tunnels was the Highlight. I would definetly so the Tour with our Tourguide Ken again.

Operator response

. If you can request a guide, request Ken.

Ken is one of the best guides we could have asked for at the Cu Chi Tunnels. He knew the history inside out and explained everything clearly, but what made the difference was how he told it — not just dates and facts, but the human side of what happened there. He was patient with our questions, made sure nobody in the group got left behind, and had a good sense of when to let us take our time and when to move on. He also gave us honest advice on what was worth doing and what to skip. If you're booking a Cu Chi trip from Ho Chi Minh City, ask for Ken. Highly recommended.

Vietnam history

Extremely interesting experience, made even more engaging by our guide, truly top-notch: always smiling and able to perfectly alternate serious moments with fun moments. The Cu Chi tunnels are a fundamental part of Vietnam's history and visiting them is highly recommended to better understand the war from the Vietnamese point of view. A visit that I highly recommend!

Excellent tour - thanks Ken!

We had an amazing experience in this tour. Ken was an excellent guide and he answered everyone’s questions and was so funny. We booked a small tour and it was definitely with it. We only had 9 people in our group rather than 20/30 that you get in the larger groups. Plus we went in the afternoon so it wasn’t busy at all in the cu chi tunnels. I would recommend everyone to book this excursion ❤️

Operator response

We’re especially happy to know that Ken made the tour both informative and fun while taking the time to answer everyone’s questions. We’ll definitely share your kind words with him! 😊 Thank you for recommending us! We hope to welcome you back for another authentic and memorable Vietnam experience.

The first hand insight...

The first hand insight into the experiences, history and the times when these tunnels were built and the effort that went into the endeavour was enlightening. To move through these tunnels now and try to imagine life for the men and women who fought on each side was moving and unforgettable. Our guide Tri provided some useful commentary at the beginning and occasionally at points on the tour.

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you found your visit to the tunnels enlightening, moving, and unforgettable. It’s wonderful to know that experiencing the history firsthand helped bring to life the incredible efforts and sacrifices of the people who lived and fought during that time. We’re also happy to hear that our guide, Tri, was able to provide useful commentary throughout the tour. Thank you for choosing our service. We truly appreciate your support and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again for another memorable experience!
