Danny is a really good guide, full of personal stories regarding the war. He makes good jokes, and made the whole group at ease. I would have put one more star if the price was a bit cheaper. Thank you Danny!
Incredible guide. Informative and interactive experience.

Chi was incredibly knowledgeable & thoughtful about where to take us to avoid the crowds. His, & his family's, own stories added an extra dimension to the whole experience. We left with a greater appreciation and understanding of Vietnamese people.
Fantastic experience

We had a fabulous trip by boat to the Cu Chi tunnels. All communication in the days prior was very clear and organized. Mr Chi our tour guide was extremely informative and entertaining. We were with a great bunch of other guests and everyone had a great day. The boat trip was fast and we were on location well ahead of the buses. A great tour seeing the tunnels and added in the shooting range. A lovely traditional lunch was included. We throughly enjoyed ourselves.
The best way to visit Cu Chi

We have visited Cu Chi several times and have been by car and by boat and without doubt going by boat with Saigon River Tours is the best. The boat ride there is far more interesting than sitting in traffic in a hot car or bus and it is also a lot quicker as well.. Our guide this time was Danny and he was fantastic. Really knowledgeable but delivers his knowledge in a really engaging and humorous way.. Out of all the times we’ve been he would be the best guide we’ve had and we learnt numerous things we had never heard before. Just a wonderful experience
