The tour was very detailed and insightful. Ben was very knowledgeable. I learnt a lot about life for the Vietnamese in the tunnels. On a plus, Ben was very funny as well. Will definitely recommend friends and family to do this tour.
The guide was excellent with a great personality and very knowledgeable.

Ben was super knowledgeable and engaging throughout the whole tour. He took great care of us, making sure we were safe every step of the way. Ben provided us with deeper understanding of the war history in Vietnam. I would 100% go on a tour with Ben again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review. We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience, and that Ben made the trip more enjoyable with his sense of humor. We hope to welcome you back soon with Hana Tourist.
The Cu Chi Tunnel experience was a highlight of my trip to Ho Chi Minh City. Nick was an awesome guide funny and informative. Once our group was at tunnels Nick layered in a lot of really interesting details about how the tunnels were built and used but it never felt dry. The tunnels themselves are pretty narrow so you have to be comfortable going into small spaces, but after going through each tunnel and walking through the jungle I gained a new perspective on the Vietnam War in a way that reading a book or watching film couldn’t ever provide.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted that the Cu Chi tour to the Ben Duoc less touristy tunnels was a highlight of your visit to Ho Chi Minh City. Nick is a funny and knowledgeable guide, and we’re glad his insights helped bring the history of the tunnels to life. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and are happy the experience provided a meaningful new perspective on Vietnam’s history. 😊
Very enjoyable experience! Would highly recommend for families - interesting guide with good information to share, and rest stop on way to Tunnels is very interesting.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the less crowded experience at Ben Duoc and the small group setting. It’s great to know you appreciated the more authentic side of Cu Chi. Hope to see you again soon in Vietnam! ✨

It's an amazing trip with an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide Ken who speaks fluent English. It's good that it's a small group and we get to know the historic events and go into the tunnels without much waiting time. The tour would have been perfect if the agency can contact us before the trip as we waited at the hotel lobby on the day and wondering what time will the driver be coming to fetch us. Overall recommended for the trip with tour guide Ken who is exceptional.
