5.00This is a fantastic trip and the Cu Chi tunnels are a must see when you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Our guide, Lam, was brilliant. He was able to share information in an engaging and interesting way that brought to life the experience in the Cu Chi Tunnels. He also shared some personal experiences of his family which gave a wonderful insight into the impacts of the war. Lam is a great tour guide and always very conscientious about looking after the group and checking their understanding.
Bananas of a tour!

5.00Such a fun informational tour! Lam was great at explaining each event and background knowledge necessary to enjoy the events. We went bananas on our ride home after the spontaneous mini karaoke showcase!

4.00Our experience on this tour was generally good. The tour broken up into two tours the first being Cu Chi Tunnels. Tony our guide was so very passionate about the Vietnam War and his people. He explained the happenings well and even gave an insight into how it has affected the Vietnamese people today. The second part of the your was a little disappointing. Little interaction from Tony, no information or contact with us for the entire drive from Chu Chi to Meekong and the same with our return to Ho Chi Minh. We also felt the communication during the entire time at the Meekong shifted and our purpose for being at the Meekong was a process in order to give tips. Overall a good tour. Just a little disappointed with the guided part of the Meekong.
