Harry displayed outstanding knowledge and was able to adjust the tour to our timeframe. Very happy customers here
Our tour guide was Mr. Harry Khoa. There were three of us, and he handled all the pick-ups and took us to the rubber forest and Cu Chi Tunnels. The places were 🆒,but the best part was how patient he was with us. He knew we were Chinese, so he spoke English slowly, and we could follow along most of the time.💖🍃🤣
What an incredible experience! Huong, our guide was absolutely wonderful, so informative and so so lovely! We had a very personal, moving day in which we also learned a lot. To top it all off we had an absolutely delicious lunch! Cannot recommend this experience enough- 12/10 would recommend, especially with Huong! Looking forward to our second tour day on Thursday! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An amazing experience. So very special to see where are dads had fought in the war. Our tour guide Huong was exceptional and very knowledgeable. Her hospitality went above and beyond. Can't wait for our 2 nd tour on Thursday Highly recommend. Scott and Jacqui Hutton - Sydney Australia
We highly recommend The Maika Tours Cu Chi tunnels tour. Really accommodating and welcoming. Our guide Harry was a great English speaking and informative guide. Lots of fun facts too
Our guide Hương was very knowledgeable and gave information in perfect english. I highly recommend her.
This was an amazing and informative trip. We had a private trip and from the moment we were picked up from our hotel by our tour guide Harry Khoa Nguyen and driver Mr. Giau, we were treated like a VIP guest. Harry was very knowledgeable about the tunnels, and was happy to answer our many questions. If you are considering booking this trip please do so - you will have an amazing time. Just ask for Harry and Mr. Giau.
Our guide Hương was very knowledgeable and so funny. We were met at our hotel and drove to the Cu Chi Tunnels early to beat most of the crowds. We had a great experience and learned so much. Having a private guide and transportation made the experience 100% ours. They even dropped us off after the tunnels at the War Remnants museum after we mentioned we wanted to visit.
I recommend the private tour. We did the full day with both cu chi and Mekong delta. Harry our host was excellent. His knowledge of the two areas was extensive but he also shared a lot about Vietnam history and culture. He was very accommodating and offered options to shorten or add stops. He even shared tips and recommendations for outside of the tour and other areas we are traveling to. My only critique would be the food offering at Mekong restaurant. We found it to be mostly deep fried and bland in flavour. I still give a 5 star review because everything else was exceptional. Request Harry.
Dear Fi, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words and detailed feedback. We’re so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your private full-day tour to Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. It’s wonderful to know that Harry made your experience so memorable with his knowledge, flexibility, and care — we’re very proud to have him on our team! We truly appreciate your constructive comment about the meal at the Mekong restaurant. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll review our dining options to ensure a more balanced and flavorful experience for future guests. Thank you so very much! Thank you again for recommending us and especially for highlighting Harry. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to him. We hope the rest of your travels are enjoyable, and it would be our pleasure to welcome you again in the future. Warm regards, Giang Vu Founder & Owner Maika Tours
This tour was absolutely fantastic — a solid 10 out of 10! The Cu Chi Tunnels are a must-see, and having a private tour made the experience even more personal and engaging. Our guide, Sunny, was truly exceptional. From the moment the tour began, Sunny brought an incredible energy, deep knowledge, and a great sense of humor. He explained the history of the tunnels in a way that was both informative and captivating, blending historical facts with local stories and personal insights. He answered every question with clarity and enthusiasm, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. The entire experience was well-organized, smooth, and immersive. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious about Vietnam’s past, this tour will leave a lasting impression — especially with a guide like Sunny. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Ask for Sunny — he’s the best!
Dear Night Traveler, Thank you for sharing your wonderful travel experience on the Cu Chi Tunnels with us. Mr Sunny is one of our best guides, and his energy and sense of humour have been his trademark for years. And that's no wonder you were totally impressed with him and his stories. Cu Chi Tunnels are an iconic historical site that can tell a lot about Vietnam's past and the Vietnamese people's resilience. We're so happy that you had a great time delving into the local history and listening to touching war stories at the tunnels. Thank you again for your recommendation and all nice feedback on the tour. The Maika Tours Team
