Saigon river tour - speedboat to Cu Chi Tunnels

5.00Highly recommend this tour. Our guide Mr Chi was excellent. He was very extertaining, very knowledgable and thoughtful when my mum (80) needed a few shortcuts and rest stops. Our group ranged from 14-80 and everyone enjoyed it and learned lots. The speed boat meant we arrived before the massive amounts of bus tours which was an extra benefit. The lunch at the end of the tour was very tasty with a plentiful supply of food. Really pleased we chose this tour.

5.00Denny was a very good tour guide. Very good trip with the speed boat back and forth. The only thing about the trip that was a bit annoying was waiting for some of the people in the group to be finish shooting in the middle of the tour. The tunnels was a very big experience! They are very small!! But you could go out at every 20 meters. The total is 100 meter.
Unforgettable experience in cu chi tunnels by speedboat.

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Trang was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and made us all laugh. The food was delicious too. A very enjoyable tour. Speedboat is a far better way to travel than by bus and we missed a lot of the crowds by taking an early morning tour. Would definitely recommend ☺️
