5.00We really enjoyed the tour. Danny was a terrific guide and very knowledgeable. Our family appreciated that the experience was authentic and not a “tourist trap”. The speedboat was the right choice! Great way to see Saigon without sitting in terrible traffic.

5.00Had a great experience with Saigon River Tour to the Cu Chi tunnels. From booking followed by the WhatsApp communications to arrange and confirm hotel pick up was seamless. The speedboat took about 1 hour and was a different way to experience the city and river. We arrived at the wharf which is right at the Cu Chi tunnels site, and were the first group of tourists- so got a head start on the other tourists coming by bus. Mr Hung, our guide, was so welcoming, funny and informative. Throughout the tour, he provided so much information on the reason behind the start of the war and tactics used regarding the Cu Chi tunnels. We go to walk (crouch) through a couple of the tunnels. Then a lovely lunch at the on site restaurant before heading back to HCMC. It was a fantastic experience!

5.00What an amazing trip. Mr Hung is worth more than 5 stars. His knowledge is outstanding and his persona is hard not to love. Watching other tours looked very boring while we went around with Mr Hung to the many tunes of his harmonica.
Great trip thanks to Moon
