By far the quickest and most enjoyable way to travel to the tunnels arriving before most of the coaches. Our guide was so enthusiastic and informative on all aspects of the tunnels. He made sure we saw all the most important sights navigating us past any lines to tunnels which we had a separate guide leasing us through. The included lunch was fantastic and plenty for everyone. If you are thinking of seeing the tunnels pay a bit more and take this tour it is worth every penny.
Must do experience for those interested in learning about the Vietnam experience.

Great alternative to go by speed boat rather than road. Guide enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Lunch was great with veggie options and plenty of it.

Perfect way to visit the tunnels. Well worth the extra money, to avoid time spent on a coach! Can’t miss the tunnels when in HCM.
Best Way to Go

The very best way to see the tunnels from Ho Chi Minh City. While the boat leaves relatively early (8 or 9AM), it's a fast, pleasant journey upriver allowing you to beat the crowds and see the tunnels in a relaxed atmosphere. And Mr. Chi, our experienced guide, was as good as it gets in providing a small-group, guided tour of everything there while knowledgeably answering all our questions. A little more expensive than some other options, but honestly, what more could you ask for?
