Great Tour at Cu Chi Tunnels with Huy! - We had an amazing experience touring the Cu Chi Tunnels with Huy. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history come alive with interesting stories. Walking through the tunnels and seeing the traps was incredible. Huy made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the visit. Highly recommend him as a guide for this unforgettable tour!

Amazing - "Outstanding tour. My aunties went on this tour last year and recommended it to me. So I decided to book it and it was a solid 10/10. First, the driver picked us up exactly at 7:00 AM no need to wait around for others. Everyone was on time, which made everything run smoothly. From the moment I watched the documentary and saw the map of the complex tunnel system, I was shocked. Po explained the 3 levels of the tunnels so clearly about what each was used for and how they worked during the war. Crawling through the tunnels was incredible and honestly left me speechless. The timing was perfect, no waiting for other groups. It was quiet, not rushed, and we were able to take turns asking Po questions without feeling crowded.The whole experience felt authentic and respectful. Definitely the right choice for anyone wanting to avoid tourist traps! I owe a big thanks to my aunties for recommending this

Amazing! - Fantastic tour. The main reason we picked this over other Cu Chi tours was the title less crowded and yes it really was. No loud gunfire noise, no packed groups. Ben Duoc felt so much more authentic and peaceful compared to what we heard about Ben Dinh. Definitely worth a visit , even if you’re claustrophobic cuz there’s so much to see above ground. The traps and hidden entrances were unbelievable. It’s hard to imagine how clever, patient, and heroic they were during the war. Po, hez da best. It was such a privilege to be hosted by him. He’s full of knowledge, warm, and shared so much about the war and Vietnam’s development. Big thanks to Dory, the operator, for organizing everything from hotel pickup to dropoff.It was all perfectly arranged, and she even checked in after the trip to make sure everything was okay. It rained a bit on the way there, but luckily the sun came out when we arrived. I went solo and ended up making friends on the tour haha. The tapioca tasting and seeing the actual tank were cool bonuses. Worth every penny!

Ben Duoc Half day with Kero ! - Had been waiting with great anticipation to go to the tunnels. The whole process was brilliantly outlined by the tour company, and everything went as planned. I chose Ben Duoc as I wanted the less busy option. It was great, and have to do a massive shout out to Kero our guide. He was a master of his craft .. great knowledge, great setting the scene before and after the tunnel visits and it really was what made the tour so memorable. Thank you Kero. The fire range is good. Easy shooting for all capabilities as the guns are supported.(You need to buy 10 bullets to shoot- The M60 was a minimum of 50 rounds) The Tunnels are hot and get the legs going.. but you can choose how hard you want to go or not. The booby traps were great too. Having someone to explain really helped. Definitely a must do 👍

Kero was a wonderful guide - Kero showed us around cu chi tunnels and we enjoyed learning all about the tunnels. Kero was excellent and spoke very good English! And he had plenty of recommendations for the rest of our holiday in Vietnam!

Great expereince with Cu Chi Tunnels! - Kero from Joy Journeys was a fantastic tour guide! He is young, energetic, and very knowledgeable towards the history archives! The whole experience was a touching moment, as it allowed you to understand the history of the war and how innovative ways were being implemented for survival. It was an amazing experience where I got to know some great people along the trip, as many of us were from different groups of people around the world. It becomes muddy when it rains, so wearing full sports gear is advisable. Try to avoid plain colour. Encourage wearing footwear which is good for hiking, as it will be very slippery after the rain. Although it is half day in the Cu Chi Tunnels, but it takes 4 hours back and forth to the venue, hence take it as a day trip will be more suitable.

Joy Journeys are the best - Ben Duoc is definetly worth a visit even if you a claustrophobic, there is so much to see and do above ground as well. The guys also really enjoyed being able to have a go at the shooting range with the old guns. We were a family of 15 and Joy Journeys arranged a private group for us. I can't sing their praises high enough. If you have the privilege of dealing with either Dory or Anh you will be taken really good care of and Po kept us entertained the whole day. Would book them again for their other tours in a heart beat. Thank you for a great experience

Interesting, well organised - Well organised, interesting, not very "less touristy". It was very well organised which was okay. Some of the information given by the tour was not in line with the information available in literature, which is ok. The stop in between was a sales stop, where you could by some lacquer pictures. As we experienced in many tours in Vietnam you had to get into the english pronunciation of the guide in order to follow explanations. The guide was very friendly and sent us some pictures afterwards. I would do it again.
