5.00Very enjoyable experience exploring the Cu Chi tunnels with Captain Bruno! My friends and I booked last minute and they were very accommodating picking us up from our hotel and dropping us off at the airport after the tour. Captain Bruno was humorous and knowledgeable about the site and the different areas we saw on the ride over. We came before the crowds which was also a plus for enjoying the site and tunnels. I appreciated how he led the tour with humor and would definitely book this tour again if I come back with friends or family!!
Great tour and guide

5.00Our tour guide was Toan and our driver was Mr. Lucky. They picked us up on time, right from our hotel. It was an hour and a half drive to the Cu Chi tunnels and as we were driving Toan was explaining the history of Vietnam War and the significance of the tunnels. He was also pointing landmarks as we passed by, so the drive out flew by. Once we arrived at the tunnels, Toan was great at pointing out key features of the area and taking great pictures of us during the experience. I highly recommend Toan and the Cu Chi tunnels!
Helpful and Informative!

5.00Visiting the Cu Chi tunnels was a harrowing reminder of the sins of our past. We are so thankful for Toan, our tour guide for bringing and teaching us the history of this part of the world. If you have a chance to visit this memorial site and are lucky enough to have Toan as your guide you will be in for a memorable experience that will stick with you for the rest of your life. Thank you Toan, thank you Vietnam and thank you to all who sacrificed themselves for what they believed in!
