5.00We had a wonderful time with (Captain) Bruno and have learned many more new things about the history of Vietnam and the war. We got to see the tunnel system, try foods the Guerilla fighters were eating and many more impressive things from back then. The pace of the trip was great for everyone and Bruno explained everything very well. Precise in detail and with very visible passion for his work. Would recommend him for sure! Small group tour has been our best choice!
The best tour guide in Vietnam!

5.00Emily was a fantastic tour guide and Tranh a great driver! Tranh was a real master driving through all the motored bikes and got us safely to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Emily explained to us the history behind the tunnels and it was quite interesting. We had bathroom breaks. Lunch was really delicious. Definitely request Emily as your tour guide and Tranh as your driver.

5.00Our tour was simply amazing. The incredible scenery surrounding the Cu Chi Tunnels speaks for itself but it was our tour guide, Emily, who made it all come alive even more vibrantly. Emily is so knowledgeable about all of the sites we took in and she speaks about the history with both neutrality and appropriate humor. She is wonderful and we highly recommend her for your tour. Additionally, the operator of Indochina Heritage Travel Group, Kevin, was so accommodating and responsive regarding our booking of this tour. He truly cares about his customers and shows it. And finally, our driver,Thanh is an amazing driver—you have to be driving in Ho Chi Minh. He is so pleasant and helpful. We appreciated him both as a very experienced and safe driver and as an accommodating and kind person. We highly recommend this tour!

5.00We had a wonderful time on our tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels. Bruno, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and his English was excellent. Pick up and drop off at our hotel was smooth and very convenient. We got to the tunnels earlier than most of the tour buses, so the area was not too crowded, and we could walk around most areas without a ton of people around. We learned a lot, got some great pictures, and we would definitely recommend this private tour.
