Overall, a pretty good experience.
We were a group of 11,which was okay. Cu Chi Tunnels is a very popular destination, and was packed with people, which takes away from the experience. Saying that, it is worth visiting, maybe make your own way there, and do the audio.
Kim our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and attentive. The draw back was competing with a number of other groups at a particular talking point. There seems to be an understanding amongst guides to keep the group moving, meaning sometimes it’s a bit of a rush.
The boat is the only way to go, due to the huge number of tourist buses making the journey back slow.
The lunch was fine, and plenty of it

Highly recommended!
We booked the Chu Chi Tunnels with Kim Travel via TripAdvisor. Immediately after booking we received all important information. Times, places and contact options were communicated quickly and easily. On the day of the venture, our guide Nhu contacted us to coordinate the meeting place and time with us. We felt right in the right hands for this day. The boat trip (according to the pictures) took about an hour, then we arrived at the Ben Dinh tunnels. Certainly the place visited by more tourists, however, Nhu has given us a super informative and coordinated tour. She is human, how professionally (historically) really excellent! We learned so much and once again we felt like we had visited a great country with an even greater population. Thank you from the heart, Nhu!

Speed boat to Cu Chi Tunnels
Tea was an excellent tour guide from start to finish. He was informative, spoke great English and made a point of checking we were all happy, took photos when we wanted them and took the tour at a comfortable pace. Arriving by speed boat was, in my opinion, the only way to do this tour in comfort. I highly recommend and will be booking it for my clients!

Speed boat and tunnels all in a day!
Thanh was a wonderful guide, friendly and informative. His knowledge of the cu chi tunnels was fantastic, also sharing some personal family experiences if the war as well. We would highly recommend going by the speed boat on the river also added to the experience.
