A Really Interesting Visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels

This was one of the most interesting experiences I had in Ho Chi Minh City. The Cu Chi Tunnels were fascinating, especially seeing how the tunnels, traps, shelters and other facilities were actually designed and used. Our guide Jack was a big part of the experience. His explanations were very detailed, and he clearly knew a lot about the history and the tunnel system. He also explained the background behind what we were seeing rather than simply showing us around. I really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it, especially for anyone interested in history or military history.

Small group and great guide.

The group size was nice and small! Our tour guide John was knowledgeable and a very kind person, who drew on his own experiences in the Military to lead a personable tour.

Top tour and guide!

Excellent half-day tour, interesting and well-organized. Our guide Yudi is super knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, and engaged us properly with trivia about Vietnamese culture and tips on what to do in the city. The tunnels are very evocative, a must-do stop in Saigon

Kuchi Tunnel Tour

It was a very good experience to actually walk inside the Kuchi Tunnel. Bao, the tour guide, was very kind, and I felt safe during the tour.
