It was great to listen to the tour guide enthusiastic historical review on the political history of Vietnam. It started with the different types of colonialism to the Vietnam War and ended with independence. The site of the tunnels was well presented and again the tour guide was very informative.
Love a great tour ♡

Our private tour with James was really great. He was punctual and we had a comfortable SUV for the 2 hour ride. He chatted with us the whole way there which made the trip fly by. He is very interesting and gave just right level of information. He loves history and it shows! His English is really good too. We stopped at the lacquer shop in the way which we weren’t as interested in, so we made it a quick stop. We went in the afternoon (11am departure) so it wasn’t too crowded at the tunnels. I think most large tours go in the morning. The Cu Chi tunnels tour was really interesting. I highly recommend this tour and request James if you can!
Great guide and fascinating tour

Excellent tour and Binh (Ben) was very accommodating to our very late request. He is a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, answered all our questions and is just a great guy to chat with. The tour was private and we managed to avoid the tour buses so almost had the place to ourselves. We enjoyed our tour so much we booked another one the next day. Would thoroughly recommend both the tour and Ben as as guide😀
Amazing experience with a local legend

Binh was the best tour guide I’ve ever had, fluent English and so easy to get along with. Nothing was too much trouble, he was super flexible and knew his way around beating the crowds! Absolute legend and will be hitting him up if I am ever in Saigon again. Stop looking for a tour guide and book Binh in, you won’t regret it.
Great tour with TB

TB was such a fabulous tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our many questions. His English was great and he definitely knows his history facts and informs you in a way that is unbiased. He is very polite, soft-spoken, and friendly! Highly recommend him and totally worth it to do a private tour!
