Reviews
Reviews summaryThis is my first time going to the Cu Chi Tunnel with tour, and the experience is great then I expected. our guide Thuyen is very friendly and very helpful. She explained all the historical about the Cu Chi Tunnel with so much easy understand, definitely is the best tour guide 👍 and would definitely recommend this company and tour guide Thuyen to others 😊
Our trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels took around 2 hours from the city. Before arriving, we stopped at a handicapped handicraft (opened since 1976) where we could see how handmade products were created by artisan (families of the victim war). It was interesting to watch the whole process, although the products were a little expensive compared to other shops (you definitely can find them in other stores as well). The best part of the tour was definitely our guide, Ms. Heidi. She was very informative, fun, and explained the history of the Vietnam War and Cu Chi Tunnels in a very engaging way. She also shared jokes throughout the journey, making the long ride enjoyable, and even helped us take photos during the trip. Overall, it was a memorable and educational experience. Highly recommended for first-timers visiting Vietnam, and we would definitely recommend Ms. Heidi to our friends too!
Ms. Money our lady tour guide was very accommodating, have sense of humor, fluent in English, very friendly, very helpful, knowledgeable about her job, respectful, & we very much enjoyed her company during our family tour… job well done!..keep up the good work…

We had a great experience visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Lam. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained the history in a way that was easy to understand and interesting. Lam managed the group well and kept everything running smoothly, while also making sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the trip. His friendly attitude and sense of humor made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we’re very satisfied with his service and would definitely recommend Lam to anyone planning a visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels.

Our tour guide was Vi and she was very lovely and courteous! I really appreciate her looking out for my mom all throughout the trip. Also learned more about the history of the vietnam war and how the Vietnamese were so clever with their strategies. I loved the challenge of going inside the bunkers and getting to experience how the people get and walk inside. Would highly recommend this activity!
absolutely brilliant experience! would highly recommend!! Our tour guide Vi and driver picked us up at the exact time stated and dropped us off to our preferred location. the experience it’s self was brilliant, Vi was so knowledgeable and took time to explain the history and answer all of our questions. absolutely incredible experience and would recommend to anyone with a sore day in Ho Chi Minh to do this!
Had an amazingly fun time w/ our small group. Vincent was the perfect host - incredibly knowledgeable & provided invaluable historically information about Saigon & Cu Chi tunnels. We had a small group of 6 people. The car was super clean & comfortable. They provided water, towelettes - the car had built in massage chairs & wireless phone charger. Our first stop was the shooting range. (they accept cc) My son had a great time even though it went by fast. We headed to the tunnels. There are a bunch of destroyed decommissioned military vehicles & weapons in front you can climb touch & take pictures of. That was pretty cool. We then headed to the tunnel. Vincent explained all the facinating intricacies the entire time. He guided us through the tunnels which was an experience. It was very hot & humid so my advice is to pack light & bring bug spray. There’s a break stop to eat tapioca, wash hands, purchase drinks/snacks. All in all it was a great time. Highly recommend.
I randomly selected this tour because of the high reviews and they reviews speak for themselves. Our guide, Ms. Heidi was a gem of a person. Her sense of humour kept the mood light, even as we were visiting a place with such a dark history. I would totally recommend this tour for anyone who really want to know Vietnam from a very close perspective.
