Overall rating
Simon is one of the best guides I have had in my 6 months of traveling! I was blown away by the fact that he gave us so much valuably information since the moment we got into the van. We had almost two hours drive and he kept telling us about the history of Vietnam. Had also photos and videos to share. Apart of how informative he was, I was impressed by his attention to detail and how he managed to keep an eye to everyone from the group and make sure we can find the van in any time. The Cu Chi Tunnel experience wouldn’t be the same without him. I’ve heard some other guides on the side and they were giving half of the information we got. The tunnels by itself are an experience that I highly recommend to everyone visiting Ho Chi Minh. The experience helps a lot to involve with the history and get deeper understanding of the life of the soldiers. I highly recommend this tour and if I am back to Vietnam I will def sign again.
This was a very fun tour. Our tour guide, Mikey, was very organised, always told us where to go, how much time we have and gave good instructions. His presentation of the tunnels, the traps, history and general area was very good - both understandable and just the right amount of information. He answered any questions we had, made a few jokes to make the tour more fun and helped with some photos and videos too. We needed to get off from the bus outside of the pick up / drop off area, but just by the route the bus was taking anyway. He stopped the bus for us and even informed us in advance. This saved us some money and a lot of time. Very much recommend!
Leon was awesome. Picked me up from my hotel and was a very safe driver. Spoke great English and was very informative with the sightseeing. The whole experience was great and worth the time and money. I discovered food and areas to get food I never would have known another without this tour.
Bus ride was comfortable. Our tour guide Hien was very informative and even had some good jokes and was also very friendly. The tunnels and history of the area are absolutely fascinating.
Little Trung He was an amazing guide did the whole trip ask him for your trip
