Enjoyable boat trip
Janette J,Nov 23, 2024
5.0Much better transport to get to the tunnels. Our guide vas very informative. Enjoyed it immensely. The only part I didn’t like was the gunfire. Food was pleasant enough
My husband and I really...

5.0My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. Mr. Chi was very energetic and organized during what could be a very long, hot, crowded day. I appreciated his energy and the perspective he gave to us. I think the speedboat was definitely a more fun way to see a different side of the city while not waiting in traffic. The boat can get a little cramped but Mr. Chi suggested some of us move to the front to stretch out more and enjoy the sights which helped out a lot. The lunch was fine as well. Cu Chi tunnels is definitely an important place to visit it can just be crowded, and this tour makes the best out of trying to avoid the crowds as much as possible.
Good trip, not the best guide
Caroline B,Oct 14, 2024
3.0The experience itself was good, the journey on the speedboat whilst a little cramped made a nice change from being on the roads. The tunnels were interesting and worth a visit, lunch was ok too. The guide we had was not the best, Mr Chi talked incessantly, but mostly nonsense or about money, "the ding dong". What I resented the most though was his asking for a tip "don't forget I love the ding dong". I will always tip good service, but resent being asked to do so. This view was shared by fellow travellers.
Great trip to Cu Chi Tunnels

5.0The boat trip made a difference to the usual bus ride. A new mode of transport to try. The guide, Mr Chi was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave the tour a very fun and personal touch. Highly recommended.
Convenience and Culture
Robert D,Sep 29, 2024
5.0Taking the speed boat down the river is much more convenient than riding in a bus and dealing with traffic. I enjoyed the historical and cultural aspects of the tour and to be honest, shooting an AK-47 was pretty fun.
