Wonderful Experience

Great tour from start to finish. Our guide Anna was very professional and spoke excellent English. She told us many interesting stories about the war and Vietnamese culture. The tunnel experience was amazing although a little tight inside!

Highly Recommend This Tour

Excellent tour and very well organized. Our guide Max was fantastic and gave us a lot of interesting information about the Vietnam War and how people lived in the tunnels. We really enjoyed going underground and seeing everything for ourselves.

Great private tour of Ben Duoc with Hannah

Great experience with our tour guide Hannah. She came prepared with snack, drinks and a lot of knowledge. Yes a private tour is much more expensive, but if you can afford it is totally worth it. Thank you for explaining everything to us. Especially Patrick had the time of his life! Regarding the cu chi tunnels. We did Ben Duoc tunnels for a less touristic experience.

A great day excursion from HCMC

My guide Bunny was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and very good at placing the experience in context. It’s a long drive to the site, so having a history lesson driving there was very useful. The site itself if challenging if you are tall, or big. Many parts I had to crawl on all fours, so it helps to be flexible and in decent shape

Best private tour of the Cu Chi tunnels!

Seeing the Cu Chi tunnels on a private tour with Toan was great. The car was very clean and the air conditioning great. Our guide, Toan, was amazing- very friendly and informative! He made the experience really enjoyable. He was accomodating for our timing as well, as we needed to get back to our hotel for a certain time. Highly recommend as it was quiet with not many tourists!

Excellent tour to the less busy Cu Chi site.

This was an excellent tour and we would highly recommend it if you want to see the tunnels with no crowds of tourists. The cost of the tour was considerably less than the equivalent tour ( on a coach with30 others to the busier site) offered by our cruise line. Our guide, Tiny, was excellent. And spoke very good English and was extremely informative.

Phu was an excellent guide!

We really enjoyed our visit and tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels with our guide Phu. He spoke good English, imparted a good amount of information and was willing and able to answer questions. Phu is an excellent guide and clearly passionate about his job. The communication prior to the tour was good and the pick up was punctual. The tunnels themselves was the highlight of the tour. On the way we visited a craft factory that employs victims of Agent Orange, which was interesting and there was no pressure to buy. We could have done without the visit to the gun range, but this was something some of our tour group wanted to do. The restaurant for lunch on the way back was reasonably priced and the food was excellent. We never felt rushed, but the multiple stops and traffic meant the tour ended up being about 8.5hrs from pick up to drop off. Fortunately our mini bus was very comfortable and well air conditioned. It would be ideal if you could choose a trip option that excluded the gun range.
