Reviews summarydetailed explanation by tour guide Mia. Will stop by a painting factory before heading to the tunnel. You can opt in for the fire arm experience at your own cost. We joined the city tour part as well. A filling Lunch is provided. 3 attractions were included in the city tour part. Ended at around 5pm. Thank you Mia for your passionate explanation. Really enjoyed it
My husband and I really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide, Thu (Theo) was very informative. The itinerary was also followed well, and the activities were really enjoyable and organized. Thank you for the great experience.
the Cu Chi tunnel tour was a superb and enriching experience, especially with our expert tour guide Tien who was very knowledgeable about the history and stories that took place as part of Vietnam’s history.
The Cu Chi Tunnels half-day tour provides a fascinating and sobering look into the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietnamese people. Exploring the narrow passageways and hidden trapdoors offers a truly immersive history lesson that you simply can't get from a textbook. Our tour guide, Theo, was absolutely cool and made the entire experience much more engaging with his deep knowledge and sense of humor. He shared incredible stories that brought the forest to life and ensured everyone in the group felt comfortable throughout the crawl. If you are short on time but want a high-quality educational adventure, this well-organized tour is a must-do.
I'm so glad I booked this tour! The tour company was so helpful and contacted me through Whatsapp the day before with very helpful reminders needed for the tour. Our tour guide Sam was super informative and had great energy! It was such a fun experience and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City!
I had a great experience on this tour! Everything was well-organized from start to finish. Special thanks to Mr. Dolphin, the operator, for being very accommodating and responsive, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Our tour guide, Mr. Tien, was fantastic—friendly, funny, and very informative. He kept us updated on the shuttle’s arrival time, shared interesting insights about the tunnels, traps, and the history of Ho Chi Minh City, and made sure everyone felt comfortable, especially me as a solo traveler. He even offered Vietnamese snacks while we were waiting for others, which was a thoughtful and welcoming gesture. Overall, I highly recommend this tour. It was fun, informative, and memorable. Thank you, Mr. Dolphin and Mr. Tien, for such a wonderful experience!
We had a very interesting tour with M.Phuoc who shared a lot of history and info about Saigon. We enjoyed the quick stop at the craft design outlet by Handicapped. The bus was on time and with AC and the driver did a good job. The guide was helpful but sometimes too quick on the spot. We need time to take pictures and listen to the info. Advice: take a bit more time. We came back to Saigon at 1.30 instead of 2.30 or 3pm as expected. We could have taken more time at the rice workshop, to see how shoes were made, to listen to the documentary video at Cu Cui or at the shop.
Everything was 5-STAR! I participated in an outdoor activity during Vietnam's hottest season. It turned out that a half-day tour was the right choice (I wouldn't have had the stamina for a full day). The nearly two-hour drive each way was very efficient; the driver maintained a safe speed and precise lane control, getting us to our destination quickly and safely. The young female guide, Vinnie, was a true professional! Her explanations of the nuclear facility, historical context, and the situation at the time were easy for Japanese speakers unfamiliar with English to understand, and her hospitality was wonderful (。・ω・。)ノ♡. The tour was very refreshing, with thoughtful touches like water bottles for hydration during the tour and bread distributed for the return trip, anticipating hunger. Even if you're not fluent in English, it's okay! It was a Day Trip where I could enjoy myself with people from various countries using gestures and simple English (like "Degawa English"). *Upon returning to the city, an optional city tour is available, which I highly recommend! I hope you will experience firsthand the struggles of the Vietnamese people who fought and triumphed over a major power in modern history, reflect on their lives, and pass this knowledge on to future generations! By participating in this tour, you become a living witness to history, with a duty to convey the message of world peace and human prosperity (。・ω・。)ノ♡
Overall, this tour was a very interesting and worthwhile experience, especially if you’re curious about Vietnam’s history. The booking process on Klook was smooth and everything was well-organized from pickup to drop-off. The highlight of the tour is definitely exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels themselves. You get to see how the underground system was used during the war, including hidden entrances, traps, and living areas, which gives a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s history and resilience.  The tour guide played a big role in making the experience enjoyable. Most guides are knowledgeable, engaging, and explain the history in a way that’s easy to understand and sometimes even entertaining.  However, there are a few downsides. The journey can take quite some time due to traffic, so a big portion of the tour is spent on the road. Also, the tunnels can feel very tight and hot, which might not be comfortable for everyone—especially if you’re claustrophobic. Some parts of the tour may
We had an amazing day with Mr Tony and his driver! They were professional, punctual, and friendly. There were 3 family groups (total 9 pax) which was great. The itinerary was perfectly planned, and we learned so much through Tony's sharing. The van was clean, and we had a very safe driver. 10/10 service—thank you both for a wonderful experience!"
Good to know
Notes:
- Have cash on hand for the journey, as there will be the opportunity to shops for souvenirs and pick up some snacks during a scheduled pit-stop.
- As the tour will involve quite a bit of walking, it's best to wear comfortable shoes.
- Make sure you take mosquito repellent with you as the mozzies in the countryside can be a nuisance.
