Wonderful Experience

Great tour from start to finish. Our guide Anna was very professional and spoke excellent English. She told us many interesting stories about the war and Vietnamese culture. The tunnel experience was amazing although a little tight inside!

Highly Recommend This Tour

Excellent tour and very well organized. Our guide Max was fantastic and gave us a lot of interesting information about the Vietnam War and how people lived in the tunnels. We really enjoyed going underground and seeing everything for ourselves.

Great private tour of Ben Duoc with Hannah

Great experience with our tour guide Hannah. She came prepared with snack, drinks and a lot of knowledge. Yes a private tour is much more expensive, but if you can afford it is totally worth it. Thank you for explaining everything to us. Especially Patrick had the time of his life! Regarding the cu chi tunnels. We did Ben Duoc tunnels for a less touristic experience.

A great day excursion from HCMC

My guide Bunny was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and very good at placing the experience in context. It’s a long drive to the site, so having a history lesson driving there was very useful. The site itself if challenging if you are tall, or big. Many parts I had to crawl on all fours, so it helps to be flexible and in decent shape
