Awesome đź‘Ź
Had such a great time on the tunnels tour with Kai! He made the history super interesting and explained everything in a fun and easy way. You can really tell he enjoys what he does. The tour was well organized and never boring. Definitely recommended if you want to learn and have a good laugh at the same time!
Memorable experience
Absolutely amazing experience! So much knowledge and history taken in about the war and how the people lived in tunnels. Our tour guide Tuan was so funny, and very helpful explaining about each individual subjects. Tuan is one of the best tour guides I’ve had when doing a tour. Thank you
Great guide and great day!
We had an amazing day visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels with Minh as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us so much interesting information throughout the tour, which really brought the history to life. Minh also had a great sense of humour and kept the day fun and engaging from start to finish. Everything was well organised and we felt really looked after. Highly recommend Minh if you’re visiting Cu Chi — a great guide and a great experience!
Must do in Saigon
I was very lucky to have such a guide as Tony. Super profesional, fun, interactive and one of the most complete guides of war as of the last century Vietnam’s conflicts! Ps: I’m very happy to get the Vietcong scarf. If you hit the target two times in the shooting range they give you one. Tip: when you point dont look at your gun sight, just look at where your shots go
Amazing Cu Chi tour
Thuan is a great guide. From the beginning of communicating when he would pick us up to the entire tour, explaining clearly the history of Veitnam war and the cu chi tunnels itself. Highly recommend Thuan as a guide.
