The speedboat halves the travel time and the fresh air and scenery beats a dark and stuffy bus every time. It’ll also mean arriving at the tunnels before the bus loads of tourists so makes the experience a lot more enjoyable. Transport aside, the highlight of the tour was our guide, Mr Chi. An engaging and fun personality to respectfully bring life to a sobering piece of history. Mr Chi generously shared his own personal experiences and those of his family that fought in the war that gave us humbling insight into what occurred. Highly recommended.
From the moment I booked with office agent Phi I knew I was in good hands. Our guide Moon was exceptional - love it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a fantastic experience on the Saigon River and Cu Chi Tunnels tour. Our guide, Chister, was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Vietnam. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Having the opportunity not only to see them but also to experience a small section firsthand was truly impressive. It gave us a much deeper appreciation of the realities faced by the Vietnamese people during the wars. The visit left me with great admiration for the resilience, stoicism, ingenuity, and determination shown under such difficult circumstances. It was both educational and moving—a real tribute to the Vietnamese people and their history. Highly recommended, and special thanks to Chister for making the experience so memorable
Definitely worth it!

Wow what a great day! Mr Chi was amazing from start to finish. His knowledge of the war and stories made this more special. The boat ride was great you get to see the locals living on the river and it’s quicker than sitting in traffic. The small intimate group was great. Highlight was shooting my first AK47!

This tour with Thi was perfect for our family of five (including three college age kids)—informative and fun, and the shooting range was huge hit (no pun intended) also. Getting out on the water and avoiding the bus was well worth it as well.
