5.00I had a great experience. Minh was very friendly and knowledgeable. He’s a great guide. The experience itself is amazing. Leave some room in your budget for the range. It’s a fun experience but a little pricey. That’s separate from the tour so not an issue if you don’t want to do it. It’s very eye opening. I definitely recommend

5.00Service performed impeccably. Pick up from hotels on time, I recommend visiting these tunnels as less touristy. You can really walk in the tunnels, a unique experience! I recommend it especially for our guide, Thanz; she was one of the most knowledgeable met here in Vietnam. He told us about the background of the Vietnam War as well as life in the tunnels.

5.00A bit of a battle to get through the Ho Chi Minh City traffic, but well worth it. Interesting to see and experience the tunnels with my 15-year-old twins after visiting the War Remnants museum the day before. Thank you to our guide James!
