Cuchi Tunnels with transportation - Our hotel Kunkin Garden and their very helpful and lovely lady at the front desk booked us all kind of nice experiences. This Cuchi Tunnel trip was unbeliavably interesting and unforgettable, not only because of the great guide, Kevin . He had all the answers and a lot more to tell. One of the best experieces to me and my 13-year old son. And I've seen all the continents and more than 50 countries . Truly, Teemu, Helsinki, Fin

Manh is the Best! - The guide can make all the difference in the world and our guide, Manh, proved to be more than the icing on the cake. He started the trip explaining the tradition of Happy Money — including passing out envelopes to the entire group. On the way to the Chu Chi tunnels, he gave us an informed explanation of the history and purpose of the tunnels and prepared us for what we would see and do there. And once there he continued to be both informative and empathetic to our feelings about war and suffering (and maybe a little claustrophobia).
Later during the city tour, he ran into a friend and fellow tour guide as well as a man who had been a mentor to him. His compassion was so evident in those brief exchanges it drew the group to him as a teacher and professional guide. All this and he also had a sense of humor!
Lastly, I forgot to get the name of the restaurant we went to for lunch but it was one of the best of all the tours I did in Viet Nam.

All in one day, perfectly accompanied - The day tour was extremely interesting and Luan has had a good answer to every question. Luan as a tour guide is very helpful and gave tips in the museum as well as he knew all the historical data. Very impressive. He also took good care of us, organized delicious lunch and water as well as refreshing cloth. Thank you again.

100% great - We had the pleasure to have Manh as our guide. What a beautiful young spirit man with the most happiest personality. He spoke very well in English.He was extremely knowledgeable on all subjects and made our tour enjoyable throwing some jokes in within. We visited on the New Year calendar for Vietnam. He started his first day of the new year with a big positive attitude and kept it up during the whole day.
Keep it up Manh and what a great service you provided for us.
Wish you the best happy year of the horse
Thanks again

Wonderful tour! - This tour was a wonderful experience! Luan was the most concise and knowledgeable guide. We were originally scheduled for the Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta day trip, but Luan warned us that the Tet holiday has made traffic extremely congested. He suggested returning to the city for a tour of the landmarks, and it worked out well for us. He spoke clearly, provided tips on bargaining, and gave us plenty of time to explore each location.

It was a fantastic thing to do I am glad we did it - Our morning started in the city with James, who was so friendly and knowledgeable. We visited the War Museum, which was absolutely fascinating, and then had some time to relax and enjoy lunch.
After lunch, Ethan picked us up and took us out to explore the Cu Chi Underground Tunnels — what an incredible experience! The history and stories behind the tunnels were truly eye-opening.
I highly recommend this Small-Group Saigon City & Cu Chi Tunnels Day Trip. Everything was well-organised, and both James and Ethan made the day unforgettable!
