Excellent day! The boat gives this another dimension, we arrived at cu chi early and got to enjoy before the crowds arrived. We were very well looked after by the team, with breakfast, coffee with fresh fruit and drinks topped up all day. Our guide Tony was very knowledgeable and engaging. We enjoyed getting to experience the Mekong delta and the tunnels, would recommend.
The entire experience was excellent and professional from beginning to end. Your team was incredibly punctual, and everything ran perfectly on time.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you found the entire experience excellent from beginning to end. Providing a smooth, well-organized, and professional service is something our team takes great pride in, so it’s especially rewarding to know that our punctuality and attention to detail stood out. Thank you again for choosing Les Rives. We truly appreciate your support and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another memorable experience in the future! All the best from Les Rives Team!
Sadly, this was the most disappointing tour I did in Vietnam. The guide barely engaged with our small group of 7. She didn’t introduce herself, and only engaged with us when we were walking around the Cu Chi Tunnels. She did not speak to our group before or after this, and there was no opportunities to ask any questions. Have given 3 stars for the speedboat, breakfast on boat and lunch.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we are glad to hear you enjoyed the speedboat experience, breakfast on board, and lunch, we are sorry that the guiding aspect of the tour did not meet your expectations. We would also like to clarify that Les Rives operates tours with English-speaking guides only. As your review mentions a Chinese-speaking guide in a previous comment, it is possible that your booking may have been arranged through a other agencies who chartered our speedboat service while independently providing their own guide. In such cases, while we are responsible for the boat operation and onboard service, the guide service itself may not be directly managed by Les Rives. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with the relevant partner to help improve future guest experiences. Thank you once again for recognizing the aspects of the tour you enjoyed, and we hope you still had a memorable time exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Saigon River. All the best from Les Rives Team!
What a great experience! We had such an enjoyable day with our guide Nguyen on this tour to Cu Chi by speedboat! Pickup was on time, but we probably could have walked to the boat ramp from our hotel faster than it took to cross the busy Ton Duc Thang street! The views of Saigon and the surrounding countryside while on the speedboat were fantastic. The trip took about an hour and on arrival in Cu Chi, we were seated for a very enjoyable, multi-course Vietnamese lunch. The tour of the tunnels themselves was eye-opening, including going down in a "spider hole" and crawling through tunnels "enlarged" for western visitors! Nguyen was super informative about all facets of the tunnels and the "American"war. Really great guide. The return trip on the speedboat was as enjoyable as the outgoing one - the speed of the boat kept the heat and humidity at bay. All in all, a great day and a great value with Les Rives!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable day with Nguyen and that the entire experience left such a positive impression. Your comment about crossing Ton Duc Thang street gave us a smile, Saigon traffic can definitely be an adventure of its own! It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the Vietnamese lunch and found the tunnel experience both eye-opening and memorable. Thank you again for choosing Les Rives and for your generous recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another great day on the river in the future! All the best from Les Rives Team!
Very well organised and informative trip. The hotel collection is very welcome in the heat of the city and our guide Lucky was very knowledgeable and friendly. The speedboat is a great idea , faster than bus and you get there before the crowds. Also much more interesting view and free air conditioning!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the trip and found everything well organised and informative. The hotel pick-up definitely makes a difference in the Saigon heat, so it’s great to hear you appreciated that extra comfort. Lucky will be delighted to know you enjoyed her company. She’s passionate about making each journey both engaging and enjoyable. And we couldn’t agree more about the speedboat, faster, cooler, and a much more scenic way to travel, especially when arriving ahead of the crowds. Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! All the best from Les Rives Team!

We went on the cu chi tunnels speed boat trip one day and the Mekong Delta speed boat trip the following day. Both were excellent from start to finish. Win was our guide for the cu chi trip and was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and looked after us very well. Cu chi tunnels is a must see when visiting Vietnam. The Mekong Delta trip takes you to a quiet village to see a market, temple and pagoda. No other tourists there and is an insight into real life in Vietnam. We also visited 2 farms and sat with the families. Our guide Lucky was amazing and told us so much about everywhere we went in a very friendly and relaxed way. A lovely change from the busyness of the city.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. We’re truly delighted to hear that you joined us for both the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta speedboat tours, and that each experience was excellent from start to finish. It means a lot to know that both days offered something special in their own way. A big thank you for your kind words about Win and Lucky. We’re very proud of our guides, and it’s fantastic to hear that Win’s knowledge and care made your Cu Chi visit so memorable, while Lucky’s warm and relaxed approach helped you connect with everyday life in the Mekong Delta. Thank you again for your strong recommendation and for choosing Les Rives for both of your experiences. We truly hope to welcome you back for another journey on the river in the future. All the best from Les Rives Team!
