Hamish_L, Dec 2023

Great tour, the guide was very knowledgeable, but did have a strong accent which non-native English speakers may struggle with (I was fine but others in the group had occasional issues understanding him). Do be aware that the jungle where the tunnels are is very hot and humid and you do need to be able to walk a moderate distance in this heat.

Judy_H, Feb 2023

Our guide, Sonny, was fabulous. Knowledgeable, entertaining and he made the experience superb. Getting down into the small tunnel opening, only 2 ft across truly illustrated how small and confined the space was. Thus tour is a must see.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

thanks for your reviews. hope to serve you in next time

Great tour

Lee_W, Jan 2023

Foo was a fantastic tour host. Really knowledgeable and patient affording us plenty of time to look around. Trip was perfect.

Interesting day tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels

Alex_A, Jan 2020

interesting tour of the cu Chi tunnels with our guide Japan yes - that is his name!). Day started a bit later than expected due to passenger pickups..Tour bus was full and uncomfortable but Japan did a good job of keeping everyone amused and informed. The tour itself felt a bit rushed, but enjoyable.

Must Visit

Maruthi_R, Nov 2019

Very Informative and Friendly Guide. Very Thing Went Very Smooth and Cu Chi Tunnels Is Lit, it's a must Visit.

Well worth the time and money

jeankosj, Nov 2019

Our guide Lyn was very good. Just enough information about history without editorial comments. Ride was smooth and comfortable. Highly recommend the small group tour.

Fantastic tour

Louise S, Oct 2019

It was an amazing experience, our tour guide Vu was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It seemed better with a smaller group as the bigger groups appeared crowded! Would definitely recommend!

Cu Chi Tunnels

Graham_T, Jun 2019

We had a great half day tour which was made all the better because of our Tour Guide "Tommy" who spoke excellent English and gave everyone an insight into the history of Vietnam and the American War. The tour of the tunnel complex was very thorough and extremely informative of how they were a major influence in the change of tide in the war.

Exciting day with a fantastic guide.

Olga_M, Jun 2018

The historical grounds are fascinating and it was very exciting to be able to crawl through the real tunnel. Our guide, Thanh, from A Travel Mate was so witty and knowledgeable. We were laughing all day. It was also very good to be in a small group.

Lionel K, May 2018

What was good: - Hotel pick-up and drop-off - Drinking water was provided - The tunnels were very impressive and it gave us a lot of insight into how the Vietnamese fought the war - We were allowed to go into the tunnels with experienced guides leading the way so none will be lost inside the tunnels - The shooting range We did not partake in this activity but the sound of gunfire while we were navigating the tunnels added a surreal sense of realism to the tour. What was bad could be improved: - We did not understand the tour guide's English very well... - Poor driving plus bad road conditions which led to a very nauseous experience in the van as passengers for the journey to and back - The shooting range This is subjective but for us it didn't feel right. - The noise from the shooting range It was truly noisy when you're at the final stop to buy beverages as the shooting range was just beside it. We had to stop here for 10 minutes or more and the people who partake in the shooting range activity would shoot tens of rounds in a go which almost made some of us go deaf. They should've given ear protection or relocated the shooting range further away from the pit stop.

Really knowledgeable guide and great...

Really knowledgeable guide and great value for a half day tour. To be honest I dont know why you would need to do a full day. This tour was great.

Kevin H, Apr 2018

The tour bus arrived on time at our hotel. Our Tour guide, Timmy, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was excellent and provided a deep insight into what happened during the war.. I would also recommend visiting the firing range.

Andrew W, Apr 2018

This tour was a huge disappointment. Our guide had very poor English and nobody on the tour could understand him. Therefore we missed out on the information regarding the tunnels, we tried to listen into other guides so we could piece together what we were looking at. Wish we had booked through another company as this was a bucket list tour that fall well short of delivery.

Interesting to finally see the...

Richard D, Apr 2018

Interesting to finally see the tunnels after all these years. Our first stop which was not mentioned by Viator was a company making lacquerware decorative items, very expensive prices. I suspect it was for the benefit of the local tour company to make a little more on tourist purchases. Tour guide needed to improve personality, he sat next to me at end of tour and all he did was complain about how little he makes on the tours. Some of his insights on the tunnels and aspects of the war seemed more 'folkelorical' than factual. The tunnels were very crowded with tourists, but he did a great job of keeping our small group moving on.

We had a great morning at the Cu Chi Tunnels, our guide Typhoon Honey was great and managed to mix humour with a very serious subject. Highly Recommended

Nathan M, Mar 2018

Our tour guide Henry with Travel Mate.Deluxe Group tours did a great job. He answers questions about the city from food spots and every day life in Saigon to things to do. He made sure that our group 3 along with the other 5 were on task but still got to enjoy the tunnels on a busy Saturday. Great college kid.

Oliver_C, Mar 2018

We had a really great time on this tour. Our guide, Leo, really knew his stuff and presented everything in a very friendly manner. If you get travel sick, the bus might be tough, but that will be true of any tour. Highly recommended!
