5.00Our day tour to Cu Chi Tunnels with our tour guide Bao was truly one of the highlights of our entire Vietnam trip. Not only was the tour very convenient (with pick up and drop off offered), but Bao ensured that we all had an extremely informative and positive experience. He shared a lot of historical facts and stories as we were walking around the tunnels, while also sharing personal stories, which made us appreciate Vietnam even more. Would recommend this tour, and especially our tour guide, Bao.
Amazing Cu Chi Tunnel Tour

5.00We joined a small group tour led by Simon. He was an amazing guide - fluent in English, knowledgeable, and has a sense of humor (appropriately injected in the tour). His clear explanation/instruction, encouragement and patience allowed my 75 year old mom go through and experience some of the tunnel system. He is also organized personally messaging the day before for reminders and instructions.
Rushed....But worth it

4.00Great tour for those interested in the Vietnam war tunnels. Our group was to large with over 40 people meaning everything was rushed with very little time to take it all in. Our tour leader was knowledgeable but not clear on timings thus everyone was standing around wondering when it was time to leave leading to panic from the leader around time. I think smaller group, more time and clear communication would have made a better day out.
Awesome tour with Simon!

5.00From the minute we were picked up from our hotel Simon was captivating the group with his explanations and background information about the experience we were about to have. The whole journey Simon kept us all engaged, while providing all the information required in his unique and quirky way. Simon made the experience informative while keeping it fun from a tourist point of view (even throughout the magnitude of what had happened at cu chi) Thank you for the experience Simon, I'd recommend you to anyone travelling to Vietnam!
