Great dive into the history of Vietnam
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.

Great day trip from HCMC
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.
Operator response
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. 😊

Cu Chi Tunnel trip
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.
