5.00Had a great time at Cu Chi tunnels. Theo was a great guide that provided some awesome information on the war and formation of the tunnels, just the right amount that it wasn't overwhelming. He also motivated everyone to get involved and become emersed in the exhibitions which was welcoming. Great time, 10/10 recommend.
Great guide!

5.00Amazing experience, thanks mostly to our guide, Khuo/Mr.Fa. He was clearly passionate about providing us with the most complete information. He was able to impart on us a more holistic understanding of the conflict than I expected, and his English is good. We had some trouble arranging pickup in the morning and ended up having to walk to their office, and taking a rest stop so near to the shooting range was unpleasant. Overall, very memorable day.

5.00A great half day at the Cu Chi tunnels. Really felt like you got more for your money with this trip. Nicole our guide was so informative, and honestly probably explained the American war clearer than in some of the museums. A must do in Ho Chi Minh!

5.00Amazing day again at the Tunnels - this was my third visit to explore the history of the tunnels - I'm travelling with my cousin who is travelling Vietnam for the first time - BUT this was my first time to this location - The day was superb led by our tour guide "Amy" - what a wonderful lady (soon to be a Mum) her summary of the history of the tunnels was first class and visiting the site where the disabled (some descendants from Agent Orange) make arts to sell was inspiring as always. Lunch later was delightful and our driver was very careful - Thank you for a great day Dave - Canberra Australia

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.
