Great interactive family half day out! - Our family of five really enjoyed our half day to the tunnels - very interactive and done really well for kids and adults alike. Our tour guide Typhoon Honey was excellent, very enthusiastic and full of great stories and very knowledgeable of the Vietnam war period. He went out of his way to make sure we were engaged and enjoying ourselves. Driver Loc was ace too! Highly recommend for families.

Great experience - Highly recommend the Cu Chi Tunnels half day tour. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip to Vietnam. The ride from Ho Chi Minh City took around 1.5 hours, but the van was comfortable so it wasn’t tiring at all. Once we arrived, our guide gave us lots of background about the war and how the tunnels were used. Seeing the tunnels in real life was pretty mind-blowing. They’re so small and narrow, it’s hard to imagine people actually lived and moved through them every day. Crawling inside was a bit claustrophobic for me but I’m glad I tried it. We also tried shooting an AK47 for the first time – definitely a unique experience that I’ll never forget. Overall, the schedule was well-paced. We had enough time to learn, take photos, and explore without feeling rushed. It’s a half day well spent if you want to understand more about Vietnam’s history in a hands-on way.

Great tour - We had a half day private tour of the Cu Chi tunnels with Tam while on holiday in Saigon. The pick up was seamless with good communication with the organiser. We had some issues with travel the day before but they were able to adjust the timing slightly no problem which was great. Cold water and towels were provided. It was a hot day but we stayed comfortable with the air con in the vehicle and not out in the hot for too long. The attraction itself is really interesting and it's great to learn of the history of it. Our tour guide Tam was very knowledgeable and knew just the right amount of information to give us, and very happy to answer all our questions about the war and Saigon. He explained it all very sensitively and from all sides, it was a great way to learn about it not just from history books. Although it was quite busy, Tam knew just where to take us so we could see all the exhibits but not get caught up in the crowds, we really appreciated that. Thank you for a great tour, you really made our trip ❤️

Great tour with fantastic guide! - Great tour with a fantastic guide! Typhoon Honey was very informative, respectful but also very funny. He made sure we saw everything and away from others so we could hear and understand all the information. His great personality made a sometimes sombre part of the tour light and easy to understand and remember. We enjoyed seeing the videos, information boards, the machinery and equipment, climbing through the tunnels and trying the tapioca and green tea. A must do with pickup from your hotel in Ho Chin Minh City! Thank you Typhoon Honey and our driver.
