Traveler reviews
Cu Chi tunnels well worth the trip
Very cool tour to the Ch Chi tunnels. Wish we had seen this before going to the war museum. Tuen was a super knowledgeable guide who certainly puts his training in the Vietnamese army to good use 😂. He runs a tight ship that alternates between keeping us on track to real personal first hand accounts of what happened during the war and a mix of humour. He shocked us with his age lol, I be happy if Im going that well, although at times some of our group struggled to understand him. Tunnels are way tighter than you expect but definitely do able although perhaps dont wear your best or white clothes. Really worthwhile tour and a day well spent.
Incredible experience! Would definitely recommend
Dat was an excellent guide to the Cu Chi Tunnels. He was responsive, punctual, accommodating and engaging especially to our group, which had a lot of questions about the Vietnam War and the context surrounding the creation and living condition in the tunnels. We travelled with two seniors and a toddler and they absolutely loved the experience!
Chi Chi Tunnels a must experience!
It was such a great exprience visiting the tunnels and learning about the resilience and ingenuity of Vietnamese people during the war. Our guide was both funny and helpful, making the day both educational and awareness building. We loved the time taken to make sure everyone had opportunities to exprience the inside of a tunnel and also feel what it was like being in the jungle. Our stop for lunch was needed and absolutely delicious local cuisine that as t expensive.
Chu Chi tunnels
Steven was a lovely guide,who happily explained the features of the tunnels. The bus was very comfortable.
Just my opinion
Good tour, just 2 many groups at the venue. I would look for the tour at the Ben Dinh Tunnel, over the Ben Douc Tunnels. Apart from that our guide Phu was great
