5.00I would give this tour a 6-star rating if I could. The boat ride avoided the chaotic HCMC city traffic. It was a fun ride! Our tour guide Mr.Bien was the most knowledgeable person I ever met. His introduction of Cu Chi tunnels was informative, in-depth, and objective. He described the tunnel fight from both the American view and Vietnam view. He grew up during the Vietnam war. His perspective is way above what you can hear from a typical tour guide. The refreshments on the boat were fresh and plenty. The provided local lunch was delicious. Thank you Mr. Bien.
Informative and fun day with Mr Chi

5.00We had a great time on this tour with Mr. Chi. Mr. Chi was full of stories - both historical and personal, and was an authentic and engaging tour guide. We appreciated how he navigated the crowded Cu Chi tunnels grounds and connected with each tour participant. Commuting via speedboat was awesome - very relaxing with the wind in your hair watching the landscape change from city to rural. The fresh fruit, bottled water, towelettes and lunch was great and rounded out the experience.
