5.0Great alternative to go by speed boat rather than road. Guide enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Lunch was great with veggie options and plenty of it.

5.0Perfect way to visit the tunnels. Well worth the extra money, to avoid time spent on a coach! Can’t miss the tunnels when in HCM.

5.0The very best way to see the tunnels from Ho Chi Minh City. While the boat leaves relatively early (8 or 9AM), it's a fast, pleasant journey upriver allowing you to beat the crowds and see the tunnels in a relaxed atmosphere. And Mr. Chi, our experienced guide, was as good as it gets in providing a small-group, guided tour of everything there while knowledgeably answering all our questions. A little more expensive than some other options, but honestly, what more could you ask for?

5.0Travelled by speedboat which took an hour to visit the Cu Chi tunnels. We were lucky to only have one other couple on our tour and the speedboat was a great way to see the countryside from the river. Our tour guide Mr Chi was exceptional and highly recommend you ask for him if you do this tour. He was very knowledgeable and highly entertaining and shared some of his own stories growing up. Once at the Cu Chi tunnels, he ensured that our small group did not wait for anything as it gets extremely busy as the day progresses. Recommend you take the early morning 8am trip to avoid crowds. Brilliant day!
Fun and educational
