Great trip, fantastic guide

5.00This was an excellent tour 👏👏👏 Our guide Bqo was extremely knowledgeable and explained the history of Vietnam, the political differences between north and south, the impact of French colonial rule and how these circumstances led to the American war (as it is referred to by the Vietnamese). His delivery was both engaging and, at times, hilarious 😂 Traffic out of HCM means the journey to the tunnels is nearly 2 hours but there are regular stops. We also visited the shooting range (additional charge for ammunition). The tunnels themselves are fascinating and Bao brought to life how they were used so efficiently by the Viet Cong. The final stop is an option to have lunch before the drive back. This is an additional cost but the food options were great value. I’d definitely recommend this trip, thanks to Bao and our driver, Mr Hung.
Totally recommend!

5.00This was the highlight of my trip to Ho Chi Minh City. The guide Tuan is a veteran with lived experience who offered incredible insight and entertainment during the tour. It was an immersive and informative experience, plus getting to shoot guns (for an extra fee) was fun too
It’s really interesting and educational

5.00We were picked up from our hotel in a comfortable and clean coach and our tour leader, Phu, provided lots of information along the way. The tour around the tunnels was great, with a chance to crawl through a section. There is also an optional extra of shooting at targets with a variety of guns, but it's pretty expensive so we skipped that. All in all a great morning out and learnt a lot.

5.00We had an excellent tour around the Cu Chi Tunnels. Tuan was an excellent guide, with real war time experience that truly made it unique, giving us a real insight to what life was like. You see all the different sections of tunnels and can even experience a 50 meter length tunnel if your feeling brave.
