One day of fun activities. - Cu chi tunnel is a must visit when you’re in HCMC. Prepare for a whole day and you must go with tour otherwise you wouldn’t get the whole experience and explanation regarding the landmark snd site. We were so lucky to have Tuan as our guide, a 78 year old veteran whose energy was beyond our expectations. Tuan made sure everyone in the group understood about the Vietnam War, not only there for photos but also history lessons. Thanks Tuan, will definitely reccomend him for my friends when going to Chu Chi. We were also given options whether we want to go down the tunnel or not. And we also did shooting AK.

Thrilling fun at the Cu Chi Tunnels!! - [not for the claustrophobic] This tour was so much fun!!! I won't lie, the tunnels themselves are a bit terrifying (and however small you think they are, they're smaller) BUT our fearless guide, Big, HANDSOME David made it fun with well-timed jokes and laughs. Also, for the instagrammers out there, David is the BEST at taking the videos you really want from the tunnels. You don't even need to ask, because he's already filming for you (LOVE)!! If you like adventurous tours and thrilling activities, then this is the tour for you!! Cannot recommend this tour enough 🫶🏻 (and darling Big Handsome David is the BEST guide!!!)

The guide make a good experience - Thanks, Alex, for your explanations and laugh. Oh, sorry and the guitars songs on a bus. Only one recommendation, change the stop for dinner, the quality is low, beautiful but no original place and the price is full for tourist. See you soon.

Fun and educational trip with teenagers and tour guide Tommy - 🌟 Eye-Opening Adventure Through History with Tommy! Our trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels with Tommy was the highlight of our Vietnam journey. He brought the history to life with vivid storytelling, in-depth knowledge, and great humor. The experience was both fun and educational—Tommy made sure we understood not just the facts but the people and their resilience. Crawling through the tunnels was fun. Highly recommend for travelers who want more than just sightseeing!

A smooth day trip - Today we went on the tour with Lucky. He explained everything clearly before getting to the stop and made sure we felt comfortable if we had any questions, to ask without a problem. He had a good sense of humour and a good level of energy. The van was comfortable and the driver (I don’t know how to spell his name correctly) drove very smoothly. A nice day out!

An experience not to be missed - This tour was worth every dollar spent. We were picked up from our hotel in Ho Chi Minh right on time and traveled to Cu Chi. Our tour guide, Ben was exceptional. He gave us a brief commentary on the events leading up to the Vietnam war. On the way we stopped for a visit to a rehabilitation unit for victims of the war who had disabilities. Beautiful craft work. Then onto shooting gallery and tunnels. After the tunnels went for lunch and returned to Ho Chi Minh. Both the tour bus driver and Ben were terrific, careful and attentive to our groups needs and happy to discuss and explain any questions we had. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit the tunnels as a small group, to get the best experience.

Adventure tour - Tour guide Danny gave us some background cultural info on the trip from pickup. Friendly and interesting. It was an overall a fadcinating tour with balanced information on the Liberation war. We got plenty of options to be heavily involved in the immersion experience at the gun range and tunnels. My tour group were great too and wanted to chat. Don't miss this tour. The smaller group size makes the extra cost very worthwhile.
