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.

We had an excellent day from the time we were picked up, driven to Chan Tho to see the floating market which was great. Seeing all the boats, goods, people. We had a lovely breakfast on the floating restaurant. Plenty to see with stopping for fresh juice, fresh fruit. The tunnels were great with a huge lunch and the opportunity to climb through as well as shooting a gun. Our guide Steven was awesome, gave us plenty of time and information about the area as well as Vietnam in general. His english is great and he is very knowledgeable. We had plenty of room in the van and bottles of water supplied. I would thoroughly recommend this trip if short on time like we were and you can't stay for a longer time.

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!

We had a fantastic tour with Daniel at the Cu Chi tunnels. He made sure we were entertained and at the edge of our seats throughout with the activities. A lot of additional surprise activities were also included. Daniel made sure we saw things at our own pace and patiently answered our questions too. The transport was clean and comfortable too. Overall a highly recommended guide and tour.

Lucky was an amazing guide and shared lots of knowledge with us. The speedboat was a lot of fun, the tunnels very interesting and the lunch delicious. This was a great tour!
