Traveler reviews
Hung had great knowledge and we learnt a lot.
Thank you Hung for a great tour!
Fantastic tour
Manh was an excellent tour guide very informative and professional Highly recommend
Excellent and essential tour
This is an essential trip to take after you have been to the War Memories Museum to see how life was lived and fought in the countryside. It is also a good tour because you go to the less touristy and more original tunnels. Manh was an excellent guide, giving us the full background to the war and life for the local people, and also life today. A highly recommended day
Highly recommend!
Today, my girlfriend and I went to visit the Cu Chi tunnels near Saigon. At around 8 am we were picked up by our guide Luân (Ethan). On our way to the site, he told us a lot about the past of Vietnam, including both the French colonisation and Vietnam War, and the impact it had on the country. We made a short stop at a factory, where people affected by Agent Orange (a chemical used in the Vietnam War) made all kinds of art made from wood. Very insightful to see! After that, we had a one hour drive towards the tunnels. Here, he guided us through some parts of the tunnels, and told us about the life of the Vietcong soldiers who lived there. We learned a lot about the hard circumstances they had to live in. We then went on and had a very nice lunch near the river, and after that, we went on towards the liberated area. We closed our tour by visiting the monument honouring 45.000 fallen soldiers, and went back to our hotel. Ethan (and also our driver) is a very friendly guide who knows a lot about these historical sites. Would definitely recommend booking a tour with him!
An educational trip
This is a trip not to miss - it was a history lesson and an exploration of the horrors of war. The guide - Nam - was very helpful and knew a lot. I think everyone who thinks war is the solution to problems should be made to go here… it was interesting and alarming at the same,e time to see how the resistance soldiers lived and fought back. Logistically, the trip was well organised, lots of communications before the trip, pickup was on time, as was drop off. There was also a short stopover at a lacquer factory/shop was a great way to buy souvenirs while supporting those who had been disabled by poisons unleashed during the war.
