100% reccomend
The Cuchi tunnels was an incredible expirience. Our tour tahn guide really blew it out of the park with answering our questions and giving us a really insightful stories and facts about the tunnels. Lots of stuff to see such as bomb craters, traps and way more. The boat ride there and back also saved us lots of time and was a pretty beautiful ride down the saigon river. The tunnels are very small and somewhat muddy when it rains so do bring clothes you dont really care for and some good enclosed shoes. But do go its amazing!

Thank you to Tim for making our experience fantastic
Tim was our guide and he was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, he picked us up on time and showed us everything on the tour that we needed to know. He kept everything running smoothly and even his father was in the war so he had insider knowledge from a different perspective. Cannot recommend this tour enough!

Speedy and .Tunnels
Han was a great guide. He was easy to talk to shared information and his personal history. The speed boat ride was awesome going there , but very wet coming back through heavy rain, but that added to experience. Lunch was enough to feed twice as many people. Would recommend this to anyone .

Great experience
Our guide was Thanh and he was great! The communication from thanh and the company was great. We were tossing up between the bus and the boat and really happy we took the boat. Was scenic and peaceful (plus the wind was nice on a hot day) the tour was well organised. although there was quite a few groups around we got to see everything and Thanh was very informative. The bullets for the ak47 are 75k each and sold it packs of 10. Highly reccomend this tour !

Great day out
Our guide Tan was excellent, informative, spoke from family personal experience, very touching. Lunch was enjoyable and variable. Going by boat was a good choice to avoid long traffic back ups and was an interesting variation on the day. The boat and driver were excellent..thank you to all..a very friendly mob of people.
