5.00Tbh, im not into war stuff, my husband persuaded me to go. I had such a great day 1.45 hours on a speed boat, gives you an idea of life in vietnam. The super rich and the poorer areas. Beautful vegetation along the way. The cu chi tunnels tour was so well done. Looking at the way the Viet cong lived and fought was mindblowing. I had no interest befoe, now i want to see all the films etc. Very very smart people, fantastic insight and Danny our guide was amazing. Breakfast was simple, lunch was lovely, feel we had an absolute bargain. We were there way before all the buses and coaches arrived. Got away quick too. People on our tour had done ot by bus last time and they said it was well worth the extra money to do by boat than be stuck in traffic for hours. Well done, 5 stars from me

5.00Our guide Chi, really made this experience once not to forget. The boat trip was fantastic and fast. Chi offered us fresh fruit and drinks on the way and shared his knowledge with us. The tour around the tunnels was informative and Chi had a way of making us all feel comfortable. He shared his stories and answered our questions as best he could. He is an outstanding asset to this company. If you want to go to the Cu Chi Tunnels I recommend doing this trip by boat. You beat all the tour buses there and there are many of them. The lunch provided was outstanding, the food delicious and fresh. This is A MUST DO.
