5.00The best way to experience the Cu Chi Tunnels. The boat ride is pleasant and fast which allows you to beat the bus crowds. Our guide Chi ‘s knowledge of how to get through the site efficiently and without lots of other groups as well as his personal stories really enriched the whole experience.

5.00Speedboat down Saigon river was amazing, got us there before the crowds. mr Chi was a great guide, imparting great knowledge of life in those times, and allowing us to hear all about working, surviving and the war in the tunnels. Mr Chi also included his own family personal history to bring more depth and understanding. Great day out !

5.00Our guide Moon was terrific. Funny, spoke great English, attentive to everyone's needs and frequently asked if we had any follow-up questions. She was able to use her own personal experience to give more insight into what we were seeing and was very supportive of everyone's individual abilities and comfort levels. A great history lesson, nature walk and adventure all in one. Great value for the money.
