Enjoyable way to travel to the tunnels rather than getting on another bus! Helps also to beat the crowds by arriving early - makes it less touristy.

This was an amazing experience, everything was organised, communication with us prior to the trip about pick-up was fantastic. The guide was excellent with a great knowledge of the history of of the Tunnels. We are so extremely happy that we made our way to the Tunnels via the river and not by road. This allowed us to arrive nice and early and beat the crowds. I would absolutely recommend this as a must do trip while in Ho Chi Min (Saigon)
Very well organised and informative trip

This is a great way to visit the Cu Chi tunnels, The speedboat is very relaxing and gets you to the location ahead of the other tours, so it’s much less crowded. Anna was a very professional and knowledgeable tour guide, she gave us a good insight into the history of the area and made sure we got to see everything. We got breakfast on the speedboat and a lovely lunch at the location. I would highly recommend this trip
Very rushed tour but great speedboat trip

The speedboat was a great way to arrive at the tunnels. The guide was amusing and gave us plenty of information. However, the tour felt very rushed. We were moved from one site to the next very quickly. However when it came to the shooting range those of us who didn't want to participate had to hang around for half an hour. It was very painful to the ears listening to the loud gunshot noise. Then we had to rush through the final part of the tour. The lunch was good and plentiful.
Great tour! A highlight of our trip
