Traveler reviews
Tour was ok, could’ve been better with another tour guide
Peter was not very much a tour guide at all more of just a guide. I wanted to learn more of the Vietnam war and culture behind it at the Cu Chi Tunnels through the Vietnam perspective. However all he did was let us “guide” ourselves and was not informative at all.
Overall a great experience and also very informative about the history and culture of Vietnam.
Tour was very informative about the history of Vietnam and the tour guide was easily understandable by any nationality. Overall a very worth it trip especially for the price. Henry was our tour guide for the trip and he spoke very well and relayed the information effectively to everyone in the tour.
Unforgettable Cu Chi Tunnels tour
Simon was an absolutely fantastic guide for our Cu Chi Tunnels tour. He was incredibly talkative, very funny, had a great sense of humour, and brought an infectious energy throughout the day. He has an excellent knowledge of Vietnamese history and explained everything clearly and succinctly, giving us plenty of fascinating context without ever making it feel too heavy or academic. His storytelling was engaging, informative and never boring. What really stood out was how well he managed the group. His time management was excellent, he kept track of everyone, made sure nobody was left behind, and even took photos for each person. He was attentive to everyone while keeping the tour moving smoothly. Simon made the whole experience informative, entertaining and genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommended!
