Family visit to cu chi tunnels
Harry displayed outstanding knowledge and was able to adjust the tour to our timeframe. Very happy customers here

Patient and Clear Guide
Our tour guide was Mr. Harry Khoa. There were three of us, and he handled all the pick-ups and took us to the rubber forest and Cu Chi Tunnels. The places were 🆒,but the best part was how patient he was with us. He knew we were Chinese, so he spoke English slowly, and we could follow along most of the time.💖🍃🤣

Amazing Experience!
What an incredible experience! Huong, our guide was absolutely wonderful, so informative and so so lovely! We had a very personal, moving day in which we also learned a lot. To top it all off we had an absolutely delicious lunch! Cannot recommend this experience enough- 12/10 would recommend, especially with Huong! Looking forward to our second tour day on Thursday! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great experience
This was an amazing and informative trip. We had a private trip and from the moment we were picked up from our hotel by our tour guide Harry Khoa Nguyen and driver Mr. Giau, we were treated like a VIP guest. Harry was very knowledgeable about the tunnels, and was happy to answer our many questions. If you are considering booking this trip please do so - you will have an amazing time. Just ask for Harry and Mr. Giau.

Great private half day tour
Our guide Hương was very knowledgeable and so funny. We were met at our hotel and drove to the Cu Chi Tunnels early to beat most of the crowds. We had a great experience and learned so much. Having a private guide and transportation made the experience 100% ours. They even dropped us off after the tunnels at the War Remnants museum after we mentioned we wanted to visit.

Full day tour would recommend
I recommend the private tour. We did the full day with both cu chi and Mekong delta. Harry our host was excellent. His knowledge of the two areas was extensive but he also shared a lot about Vietnam history and culture. He was very accommodating and offered options to shorten or add stops. He even shared tips and recommendations for outside of the tour and other areas we are traveling to. My only critique would be the food offering at Mekong restaurant. We found it to be mostly deep fried and bland in flavour. I still give a 5 star review because everything else was exceptional. Request Harry.
