What if trapped? - Moving in the tunnels is fun. In the last tunnel, a participant stopped moving to rest twice. It brought some worries to me on the spot as we did not expect to stay any longer. I started to think about emergency escape, say crawling backward….

Mr. Tuan is an excellent guide - “Mr. Tuan” was an excellent guide and he shared his own experience during the Vietnam war. His explanation was really interesting and moving.

Great tour and would highly recommend! - Fabrastic tour, the pick up to the actual tour itself was excellent. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and shared very good information to the cu chi tunnels, he was also very humorous as well. I would recommend this tour if you are looking to explore the cu chi tunnels.

James was great - We had a great tour guide, his name was James and he was very informative and funny. We went through some of the Cu Chi tunnels and he showed us how they were used in the war. He also spoke about the effects of the war today and the booby traps that the Vietnamese used during the war.

Disneyland with machine guns - I grew up in Washington DC during the Vietnam war, have read a fair amount about it, and was looking forward to getting something of the Vietnamese perspective. I found the guide's talk on the bus ride to the tunnels the most interesting part of the tour. En route to the tunnels, we stopped at a gift shop which sold crafts supposedly made by agent orange victims. Scam or genuine I don't know. Lots of other tour buses were there which always makese suspicious. The tunnels themselves seemed like a Disney world where you could fire machine guns. The "exhibits" and explanations were thin on information. The section of tunnels were expanded so foreigners could get through. Nonetheless, crawling through them made an impression on me. Overall I would recommend anyone interested in learning anything about the war and seeing anything real from it go to the War Relics Museum instead. I wish I did.

Not as advertised! - Poor representation of the tour. Took over an hour to collect passengers-drove past our accommodation 3 times! Break stop before too long, Less than 2 hours at the tunnels when advertised as 3 hours. Another break stop on way back. Very very busy at tunnels so didn’t get to experience all the sights on offer. Would like a refund please as not as advertised.

meet the worst guide - Worst guide ever. I had them buy 30 shots for shooting, so I paid around $80. The number of shots should be decided by themselves, but they tell me to pay for the 30 shots without any comment. If you don't tip after the tour, they ask for tips directly, and if you give less tip, they make a bad face. I felt terrible here. Be careful when you meet a guide named Nguyen Tuong. It could make your trip the worst.

Disgusting experience because of the guide Alex - Avoid booking - A very terrible and pathetic experience and it was only because of the guide 'ALEX" who discriminated between guests from different country. He was VERY RUDE with all us of specifically small children's which was surprising He misbehaved with children and spoiled our mood, it seemed like he was just been polite with some particular guests not sure if he got paid extra money for this. His behaviour was racist. Additionally he tried to imposed his thoughts about his opinion on the Chu Chi tunnel. He dropped us about 1 km before our stop which was not acceptable. Overall, it was a frustrating trip where we felt our money and more specifically our day was spoiled by the Guide "Alex" from this company. I hope the company read this and take appropriate action against the this idiot Guide Alex. I wish if there was a negative marking Caution for guests lookin to book through this company - Please avoid this guide "Alex" at all cost.

Cu Chi Tunnels tour - We were getting around the city in the bus for about 2 hours only to pick the people , we were terribly getting bored in the bus for just getting around for pickups! The tour guide was a young boy , he couldnt speak English well to explain about the historical matters they had to hod to hire people who could speak kind of average English because this tour is not leisure is for the history. He also couldnt manage the group properly, everyone where going here and there and he had to find all one by one, he should have fix a time for the place to gather .

WORST TOUR GUIDE EVER. TOTAL SCAM! - Tour guide Quach Huy Nhan (but I don’t know if the name tag he was using was really his) was the worst guide ever. Didn’t explain ANYTHING, didn’t talk, just pointed at stuff and read the caption below (which all of us could do alone), and couldn’t answer to any of my question. Was rude and didn’t even know how to manage a group. Didn’t wait for anyone. When I asked him for his name, he wanted me to forbid to report on him. I told him the experience was awful, that he was a terrible guide and I was going to review exactly that. Everybody on the tour thought the same (or at least the half who spoke when I asked if I was alone on this complain). At the end my suspicion was correct, he admitted he wasn’t a tour guide and he doesn’t use to do it. Probably he was replacing some one. This is not us fault, is the COMPANY FAULT. how can you charge 15USD to over 25 people and send them on a half day tour with a guide who has no idea what he’s doing there and now even making an effort to help us to understand. Besides, the place itself is not worth to visit. The film they show is not even subtitled and the sound quality is terrible. Save your money and do a good tour or go by yourself to the market and eat street food. Which is by far the best this city has. I end up leaving the group and joining another one with a very good guide (VIP TOURS company) very knowledgeable and friendly guide. In the end I asked to leave the bus before we even arrive in the city because we’ve spent more than 80% of the morning inside a freaking bus with a guide which the only thing he could say was the cars were more expensive than bikes, and that’s why everybody drove bikes. what an interesting fact. I wouldn’t have know that unless I went on this tour. 😒 f*cking waste of time. Asked for a refund!!
