Amazing experience at the Cu Chi Tunnels! We learned so much about the history and the tunnels — super interesting from start to finish. Our guide Bunny was fantastic, very knowledgeable and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
We took the Cu Chi Tunnels Private Tour with Indochina Heritage Travel, with ‘Bunny’ as our guide. Bunny was punctual, knowledgeable and considerate of all of our requests, taking extra time where we wanted and skipping parts we didn’t care for. She gave history and context for the whole journey from HCMC to the tunnels, and more detail at the site itself. Bunny also gave us follow up information/links for understanding the tunnels further, as well great restaurant recommendations for close to our hotel! The SUV-style vehicle was extremely clean, cool and comfortable, with a very smooth and safe driver. Well worth the extra cash for a private tour if you have a genuine interest in the subject matter.
Toan was a FABULOUS guide!!! He was so so so knowledgeable and friendly :)) he answered all of our questions + the van we traveled in was soooo luxurious. Book this tour!!
A highlight of our time in Ho Chi Minh City. Our guide, Ni, was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging, with a deep understanding of both the Cu Chi Tunnels and the history behind them. She brought the experience to life and was happy to answer all our questions. We chose the private tour and would highly recommend it. The extra cost was well worth it for the comfortable journey, flexible pace and having a dedicated guide rather than being part of a larger group. A fascinating and memorable experience. Thank you, Ni, for making the day so enjoyable and informative.
We found the tour to Ben Duoc tunnels truly fascinating. Our guide Bunny's enthusiasm and knowledge of the history of not only the tunnels but of Vietnam was exceptional. Thanks to Bunny we came back with not only an amazing experience but an incredible insight into this beautiful country
Amazing and very educational. Was a great experience doing the tunnels. Seeing how it all was made. Bruno our guide was very good.
We had a fantastic trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels and it was a real highlight of our time in Vietnam. The tunnels were fascinating, and the experience gave us a much deeper understanding of the history and the incredible conditions people endured there. A special thank you to our guide, Max, who was absolutely excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history, and he did a wonderful job explaining everything and answering all our questions. His stories and insights really brought the experience to life. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vietnam. Thank you, Max, for making our visit so memorable!
