Great tour experience - We really appreciated Hung. He had a great sense of humor and played the harmonica for us. He made a hard history lesson a good experience for us. The boat ride and boat captain were great, got to see a lot of how people live on the river. Lunch was good too. We would definitely recommend this tour and Hung and crew.

A must do tour - exceptional - We loved this tour. It was great to be picked up early and to zip along the river in the speedboat - water and snacks provided - a great way to arrive, see the scenery and avoid the Saigon traffic jams. As for the tour itself, our guide Hung was brilliant, playing his harmonica, and so very informative and interesting - he really enhanced our trip. All finished off with a delicious lunch and out of there by the time the coach loads turned up. A highlight of our trip, thank you. Would recommend and very good value for money.

Arian is the best at Vietnam travel group - Called Arian to book the speed boat Cu Chi Tunnels tour. Arian went out of her way to make booking late in the evening for me. The boat ride was very good had light snacks and drinks available the tour guide was very informative. When we arrived there was a full lunch put on then after the lunch did the tunnel tour which is pretty amazing.and then returned back to ho chi min over all was a great day out.

Enjoyable ride on the river. - The river trip is so much better than the bus I took last time. As you travel upstream into the countryside, the river transitions into a more peaceful, clean body of water. The experience is on par with the tunnel tour itself. Our guide, Danny, was funny, polite, helpful and was interested in our story as to what brought us here. He also shared stories about war veterans who returned to the battlefield where they fought so long ago.

Must do, thought provoking. - Boat was probably more comfortable than coach and arrived earlier than other visitors. Guide was informative and pleasant. Tunnels a little lacking in variety but tour was important to understand modern Vietnam.

Fantastic trip! - Fantastic half day tour with Moon, our wonderful , informative and funny guide. Everything was seamless. We got a grab(they reimbursed us) to the pier and off we went on an hour long speedboat ride to cu chi tunnels. Ride on the Saigon river was awesome to see river life and the breeze was appreciated! Tunnels tour was great, learnt a lot and got through 20m of tunnel. Croissants and fresh fruit on board for breakfast and a sit down lunch which was great including chatting to other passengers with free drink. Beautiful breezy ride home and they paid for our grab again. So worth the money to get there so quickly. Also opportunity to shoot guns for extra fee. Thanks for the memories Moon!
