Tour with Viet - Viet was the man. Very funny and found a good mix between staying on topic and switching to more relaxed and casual conversations to ease the mood. We did the non-touristy tunnels and we were 1 of 2 groups there. Definitely worth the extra $8usd

A Day with a War Survivor - Tuan, a former officer, survivor of the war and a subsequent prison camp, was our amazing tour guide. Make sure you crawl through the full length of tunnel.

Amazing Tour - My wife and l went to the Ben Duoc morning tour. A small group of 7, very comfortable transportation, and an excellent lunch afterwards. Our tour guide Tuan was both incredibly informative and very entertaining. He explained the history of the tunnels very well but also made us laugh. Highly recommended, Dennis and Dionne.

Authentic and touching experience with 76year old veteran - Thanks to our guide Tuan, we could experience a great half-day at the Cu-Chi tunnels. He explained us a lot and shared his realities on the war, when he was an officer in the army back then. I can recommend to go on his tour!
