Cu chi tunnels holiday experience

5.00Our trip to Cu chi was great. Sam our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and informative. We had excellent transportation, with great air conditioning and a safe driver. The tunnels and other parts of the tour are definitely worth a visit. Other family members even practiced their shooting ability. Sam offered to stop at a great little Bahn mi place for our lunch and then we got dropped off at our hotel door.
Great tour. Friendly...

Too much kindness

2.00I thought the actual tour was great. Our guide Tommy was informative and nice. The bus home was good and the stuff we did was interesting. I do feel the kindness of the pick up killed the trip. Being taken round and round in circles because people can’t be bothered to travel 5 minutes to a meeting point made the beginning so much more difficult than it should have been. People need to stop being so lazy!
An experience worth...

5.00An experience worth experiencing on a tour. Easy from start to finish. Don’t be afraid to talk to the guide. They are very nice and knowledgeable. Professional service and really adds control, context, and depth to an otherwise already great historical museum. Dress for warm weather and maybe pack some wet towels so you are more comfortable during the tour.
Excellent Experience

5.00We were picked up outside our accommodation on time and greeted by Big Handsome David. He spent time sharing how the day would unfold and what to expect at different times. After our first stop, he told us about the history behind the Cu Chi Tunnels in an easy to follow way. As we went around each spot, he checked on us and encouraged but not pushed us to make the most out of the experience! I definitely recommend completing the full 100m of the tunnel, such an amazing experience:) Thank you Big Dave - you are the best!
Great tour!
