Expensive but good...

5.00Expensive but good service and very friendly staff. This mode of transportation saves 1 - 2 hours each way versus taking a bus. We also reached the tunnels early and had a head start on the crowds. If the budget is tight, it’s hard to justify the cost of the speedboat. Lunch was actually pretty good.
Brilliant tour from an excellent and amusing tour guide chi , thanks

5.00It was an amazing trip to the Cu Chi tunnels! 100% recommend doing it by boat because the river is beautiful and the air feels really nice in the heat. Danny was a great guide, he keep the energy flowing as we explored all around and gave good information about the serious details of the place we were visiting.
An excellent half day out!

5.00An excellent half day out & great for young families too. We visited with our three children (aged 1, 4 and 8) and were very well looked after throughout. Our guide, David, was knowledgeable and jovial, striking just the right balance between informative and engaging for both adults and children. There’s much more to the site than just the tunnels, and the overall pacing felt spot on — interesting without being overwhelming. The children managed the tunnels and walking without any issues, and an ice cream stop halfway through was a definite highlight! The food was also good — tasty and plentiful. A really worthwhile visit, whether you’re travelling with children or not.

4.00Our guide Danny was excellent and easy to understand. The main issue we had was the poor coordination of the different groups around the Cu Chi site, which Danny had no control over.

5.00Fantastic trip, well worth the money. Speedboat was great with lovely refreshments and our guide, Moon, was super … very helpful, professional, knowledgeable and great fun with lots of energy. We were a small party group but all left as friends. The tunnels themselves were fascinating and although we are fussy eaters, thd lunch food was really excellent. Thank you!
Great Experience

5.00We had an incredible enxperience visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels with Saigon River Cruise. A special thank you to Moon and her team, who were absolutely fantastic. Moons storytelling brought the history of the Vietnam War to life in such an engaging and meaningful way. We learned so much about the resilience of the guerrilla fighters. Exploring the tunnels was definitely the highlight, an unforgettable experience that gave us real insight into what life must have been like. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. It’s both educational and deeply moving.
Fantastic Day.

5.00This is a fantastic and fascinating day out at Chu Chu Tunnels with Danny and his team to see how the Vietnam War unfolded. From getting picked up at hotel to riverboat up the Saigon River to the Tunnels. Seeing the Tunnels that were built to fight a war is just something else. Beautiful lunch at restaurant on site before riverboat cruise and taxi back to hotel. Thanks again Danny.
