5.00Had a great experience. The trip started on time. Big Dave was our tour guide. He was very witty, interactive, engaging and knowledgeable. On the way to the tunnels, he told us the history in a very interesting way. Walking through the tunnels was the best part of the trip. Overall once in a lifetime experience. Can't afford to miss it if you are in Saigon.

5.00Always had an interest in Vietnam war as well as history in general. From start to finish it was one of the most informative tours I’ve ever taken. Our tour guide,Simon was just fantastic, extremely knowledgeable on the war but also the whole history of Vietnam going back to the French and Portuguese involvement in the country. Well worth a visit.
Great experience with...

5.00Tommy was our guide and was excellent. He was knowledgeable and pleasant. He spoke English very well and communicated effectively. The tunnels themselves were intense, but you know going in. Very hot and tight, but extremely interesting and it was overall a great day. Thank you!
Amazing Tour Guide, David!

5.00We had an incredible experience visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels last weekend, and a huge part of that was thanks to our tour guide, David. From the moment the tour started, he kept everyone engaged with his great sense of humor and friendly personality. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the tunnels and Vietnam, and he explained everything in a way that was both informative and easy to understand. David made the entire experience enjoyable, answering every question with enthusiasm and sharing fascinating stories that brought the history to life. His energy, professionalism, and passion for what he does truly made this tour unforgettable. If you're planning a trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels, I highly recommend requesting David as your guide. He turned what would have been a great tour into an amazing one. Thank you, David, for such a memorable experience!

5.00David was an exceptional tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared information in a way that was engaging, informative, and easy to follow. His sense of humour kept the group entertained throughout the day, and he had the perfect amount of sass that made the experience even more enjoyable. He struck a great balance between educating, storytelling, and keeping the atmosphere fun and relaxed. What really stood out was how willing David was to go above and beyond. He took the time to share local recommendations for food and places to visit, helping us make the most of our time in Vietnam beyond the tour itself. His passion for his country and genuine care for the people on the tour was obvious throughout the day. I also really appreciated the customer service from the team. I accidentally missed my original booking for the full-day tour and contacted them to see what my options were. They were incredibly understanding and happily accommodated me on the half-day tour that same day at no additional cost. That level of flexibility and kindness turned what could have been a stressful situation into a very positive experience. A special thank you also to our driver, Lam, who got us everywhere safely and comfortably. The drive was smooth from start to finish, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience. David and Lam made a fantastic team and were a big part of what made this tour such a memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam.
