Our tour guide Phu was amazing. He was very funny and very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the history of Vietnam and the cu chi tunnels. We got to go in the tunnels and got to see all the traps so it was very interesting.
Brilliant experience Certainly worth the long bus trip to and from Ho Chi Minh City The English speaking guide was very knowledgeable Such interesting war history and amazing facts about the viet kong
The guide Nik was really good and comprehensive in telling the story of the country.Impressive to see up close how they lived in the tunnels To recommend.
We were EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with VIATOR. VIATOR advertised the tour on their website as leaving g at 7:30 am and returning at 1:30 pm. We chose this tour carefully because we had to catch a 4:00 pm flight and needed to be at the airport by 2:00 pm. or 2:30 pm at the latest. The night before we got a message from VIATOR that the tour would start at 8:00 am and return at 3:00 pm. VIATOR basically told us that it was too bad and that we couldn’t cancel the trip and get a refund. So we got to the meeting place and talked yo our tour guide, Tuco. Five stars to Tuco! He helped us get a taxi to the airport the time at the shooting range. Unfortunately we could not finish the tour. We could not go to the Agent Orange museum because we had to go to the airport. Bottom line: Five stars to Tuco, zero stars to VIATOR for false advertising and extremely poor customer service. It’s too bad. I have taken other VIATOR tours and given VIATOR five stars.
Quite crowded, even on a weekday morning. Recommend sunscreen and a hat. Need at least 2 hours. More if you intend to do some live firing at the range.
The Củ Chi Tunnels were built during the French war (1940s) and expanded in the American war, stretching over 250 km. For nearly 20 years, Viet Cong soldiers lived and fought underground with kitchens, hospitals, and secret trapdoors. Despite US bombing and attacks, the tunnels helped them survive and defend Vietnam — a symbol of resilience after a thousand years under China and a century under French rule. Today, visitors can explore the tunnels, see hidden traps, and learn how the Vietnamese prepared and resisted one of the most powerful armies in the world.
Best tour ever . Do it. Learned so much , enjoyed the views. We brought 7 people along of all ages and all of us were blown away .
Chu Chi tunnels in my opinion is one that you have to experience at least once if you ever get a chance. I went through the tunnels which were small and very confined. Mind you, some parts of the tunnels have been enlarged to facilitate bigger tourists, but not that much bigger in my opinion. Definitely an interesting one to do. The bus was really clean and comfortable. We went on the smaller luxury tour group and it was good value for money. The shooting range experience, as much as it was fun, was rather expensive. VND 65,000 per bullet and min. 10 bullets purchase for each person and the trigger on the gun was very sensitive so before you know it 10 bullets went flying. Expensive for less than a 2-minute experience Linda our tour guide was very nice and friendly. The lunch was ok with basic Vietnamese/Asian food that wasn't included in the tour price. All in all, a very good tour. 👍
our guid was called tuan he was in the war and gave us first hand account of what happened and was able to answer all our questions honestly one of the most amazing people and places to go see it has opened up my eyes i would come back again just to see tuan
What an eye opener, television can portray things in a very one-sided way. To see the determination of the Vietnam people does give you a very different perspective. A must visit attraction for all how visit Vietnam.
