5.00I'd visited the tunnels 25 years earlier and was keen to revisit with family. It's certainly become a lot more commercialised since I first visited but not in a way or to an extent that detracted from the experience. If anything, social media has somewhat exposed all the little surprises and hidden gems that were once a highlight of the tour. Thoroughly enjoyed our day, it was well paced and informative. Tunnel walks are well sequenced starting easy before transitioning to the longer, steeper and tighter sections. Shout out definately warranted to our guide on the day 'Tony'. Very funny and offered a genuinely interesting and informed insight into the history of Vietnam, its various wars and also a telling of burgeoning Vietnam and where it finds itself developing in the world stage. A little different for a commercial tour but was really a highlight and made the day for us.
Absolutely recommend!

5.00Action-packed day with an unbelievably helpful tour guide (Viet). Viet has incredible English and people skills and managed to truly connect with our family (especially our 5 year old boy)! Viet also was very knowledgeable and explained every step of the tunnels in great and interesting detail. Highly recommend!
Superb Experience

5.00A great tour of the tunnels! All up the tour ends up being quite long, we chose the non- tourist tour and got picked up at 8am and dropped back at 3:30pm. The driver and tour guide take you through the tunnels and explore the jungle where the war was fought. After the tunnels we went to a shooting range and then they take you for a nice lunch in a restaurant about 30 mins away. Definitely bring cash for the extra activities e.g the shooting range if you want to do it and for the lunch if you want to buy something after, the tunnels are a great experience and a must if you are visiting Vietnam and are interested in the country’s history.
A must do

5.00From booking to drop off everything went smoothly. Arranged pick up from hotel and communication via Whatsapp made it clear and easy. Comfortable bus and everyone was friendly, air con was great for the journey to the tunnels. We were there in June and it was terribly hot and humid so be prepared. Take insect repellent as there are a few mosquitos around. Our giude was awesome and very informative. We had a lunch stop for 30 minutes on the way back which was great with plenty of selections. The tunnels are a little tiny, so if you are a big person you may struggle to navigate through. Overall, well worth the experience. We did the non tourist area and zero crowds.
