Our guide Ni was extremely nice and knowledgeable. She told us a lot about the history of the tunnels, and about Vietnamese life and culture. We had an amazing time!
Transportation was good. The trip is long because of the travel time, time spent in the tunnels is short. The problem was thw guide - shw was telling us the history while ww were on the bus. We couldn't hear her in the back because of the loud AC - when I askes her to speak louder (which was totally doable), she disregarded that. So we couldn't hear our guide which is the whole point of getting a guide! Then she pushed us to a crafts selling center and was pushing us to buy (which is abaolutely stunning, by the way)!! While the reat of the tour was anxious as we seemened to bw running very late. She never addressed the concerns about the timing. Her accent was extremely difficult to understand, too. We arrived back at around 7:45, which is a bit late. Wouldn't recommend - get a different guide.
Fantastic experience best tour we did in Vietnam. Even if you are not into history this is very interesting. We’ll with the visit. The only comment I would make is that we were dropped off a fair walk from our hotel although we were picked up there. Just being whingy here first world problems
The tour was great, very interesting and informative. smooth transportation as well. Great itinerary and half day was a perfect amount of time. However, be aware that this spot is very touristy and very crowded.
Interesting and informative tour, Bunny was absolutely amazing and knew an incredible amount about the Wars and history of Vietnam.
This was such a breathtaking experience. Như was an amazing tour guide who's sincerity, generosity and friendliness made this historical experience all the more visceral. She is like a walking enclyopedia and is also quite the polyglot! I totally recommend you tour the Cu Chi Tunnel with her if you visit Ho Chi Minh City.
The trip was amazing, Jen had been a fantastic guide throughout the tour and explained us everything clearly in detail.
Our tour guide -My, was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Almost instantly we felt as she was one of our friends in our group rather than our guide as we got to know each other on a personal level. However her professionalism kept us on track as she indulged us in the history of the Cu Chi Tunnels. She gave us a brief summary during the 1.45hr car ride that allowed us to later navigate more efficiently around other tour groups. My made the 6hr tour duration a breeze. Our driver was also prompt and courteous. It was an overall great experience. Highly recommend My. Thank you My!!
Our guide Max was exceptional ! Very professional and competent. He speaks fluently english and he made us a great history lesson ! We recommend him absolutely!!! Nice guy Luca and Patricia
Fabulous tour guide and definitely a place worth checking out. There is so much history of the tunnels I did not know and it was so fascinating learning about it. Highly recommended.
