5.00This tour was perfect in every way. The speedboat to the tunnels was not only fast and great fun but a lovely way to see the city from a different perspective. Our tour guide, Mr Chi, was not only friendly and knowledgeable, but wickedly funny with sense of humour à la his beloved Only Fools and Horses that would’ve made John Sullivan proud! Not one for reciting dull textbook facts and figures, he was one of the most interesting, engaging, and informative guides that we have ever had. In addition to everything else, he worked hard to keep us ahead of the other tour groups so that we didn’t have to queue for anything, which was hugely appreciated given the intense heat and humidity on the day of our tour. It was flawlessly executed from start to finish, and with the able assistance of the drivers, Mr Chi ensured that we all had a brilliant experience. Many thanks to all who made this such a great day.
Great tour

5.00Here’s a review-style summary you could share with other travellers: What Travellers Should Know About the Cu Chi Tunnels Experience Our trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels was one of the highlights of our visit to Vietnam. We chose a boat tour, which made the journey just as enjoyable as the destination. Travelling along the river offered a different perspective of local life and was far more relaxing than travelling by road. The tunnels themselves provide a fascinating insight into Vietnam’s history and the ingenuity of the people who lived and fought there. Seeing the hidden entrances, underground passages, living quarters, and defensive systems brings history to life in a way that books simply cannot. Be prepared for hot and humid conditions, and some tunnel sections can feel quite confined. Comfortable clothing, good walking shoes, sunscreen, and plenty of water are recommended. Our guide Chi was knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer questions, making the experience both educational and memorable. For anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels are well worth adding to your itinerary, especially if you can experience them by boat. The combination of history, culture, and scenic river travel makes for a truly unforgettable day.
Highly recommend!

5.00Our tour guide was amazing. Exceptional story telling abilities matched the setting that we were in for an authentic experience. The tour of a lifetime. The youngest in our group was my son who was 10 and my mum joined us also who is 70. Although she didn’t go down the tunnel it didn’t deter her experience. We weren’t rushed and the lunch was amazing.
Excellent Tour Guide

5.00An informative and fascinating day out. Great speedboat transfers which made things so much more fun than a bus or car. But the highlight was our guide Danny who was so knowledgeable and humorous. There was no question he couldn’t answer, and he was a delight to be with. Thank you so much
