It is difficult for visitors to imagine the destruction, damage, and defoliation that occurred when Cu Chi was designated as a “Free Target Zone.” The remnants visible today serve as evidence of the intense battles that took place there.

Cứ chị tunnels and it’s prolific impact - Timon was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide! His friendliness made the experience better and he gave me some local recommendations to check out in Ho Chi Minh City. I highly recommend doing this tour as it’s enlightening to learn about the resilience and ingenuity of the Vietnamese. It’s truly a fun experience; the Vietnamese deserve all the respect for being so damn tough and smart!

Great experience seeing great sites - The actual tour was Cu Chi and Cao Dai tour. I couldn’t find it in the options given. Anyway, the tour was a mind blowing experience in the good way. A small tour , 4 people only , the driver and the guide. That vas one on one almost, a VIP tour. The things we have seen were amazing. An emotional experience in the cu chi tunnels and a spiritual experience in top of Ba Den mountain.
All the sites we have seen were nothing without Harry our guide. His happy spirit, his knowledge and the willingness to answer any of our questions, amplified the images of the sites. Will recommend this tour, and again, thank you Harry for the wonderful experience you put it in our souls and minds

Excellent - This was one of my favorite excursions in Vietnam. The guide Daniel, who is only 22 years old, was a perfect. Extremely professional, with excellent english, he introduced us to the history of Vietnam and todays life. The bus is comfortable. Although the excursion lasts a whole day, you won't even feel it. Both the tunnels and the Mekong Delta are interesting destinations. During the day, you will receive a delicious free lunch and at each location you will taste traditional Vietnamese sweets, fruit and tea for free.

Eye-opening! - The travel operator was very reliable, contacting us in advance with the pick up info and help to clarify our doubts. Louis was our guide to the Cu Chi Tunnels. He was lively and chatty, providing us with info and history beyond what the trip was about. That gave us a good insight to Saigon and its culture. His explanation was clear and at times humorous, making the trip enjoyable even though the sunny weather was killing! Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels was eye-opening and we are full of respect for the Vietnamese resilience and ability to survive for decades in such dire conditions.
Thank you SST and Louis for the arrangement.
