Chu Chu Tunnels Experience - This was an amazing experience, everything was organised, communication with us prior to the trip about pick-up was fantastic. The guide was excellent with a great knowledge of the history of of the Tunnels. We are so extremely happy that we made our way to the Tunnels via the river and not by road. This allowed us to arrive nice and early and beat the crowds. I would absolutely recommend this as a must do trip while in Ho Chi Min (Saigon)

Very well organised and informative trip - This is a great way to visit the Cu Chi tunnels, The speedboat is very relaxing and gets you to the location ahead of the other tours, so it’s much less crowded. Anna was a very professional and knowledgeable tour guide, she gave us a good insight into the history of the area and made sure we got to see everything. We got breakfast on the speedboat and a lovely lunch at the location. I would highly recommend this trip

Great Experience - Nguyen and his Les Rives team provided for a great day for our family. He was engaging, diplomatic and respectful to us and to the memory of the Veterans from all sides of the conflict. The boat was well maintained, safe and the pickups and drop offs were punctual. The refreshments and lunch were more than enough for the day. Thanks for a great experience.

Excellent trip with an excellent company - Absolutely brilliant trip- one of my friends had recommended this, and it did not disappoint! I would highly recommend Les Rives- pick up was on time, then a short bus journey to the river. We then had about one hour on a speedboat, which really added to the whole experience: we had breakfast on board, with lots of fresh fruit and cold drinks throughout. The tunnels themselves are amazing- our guide was brilliant and very informative. You can go in the tunnels, which is understandably a bit claustrophobic, but it is easy to walk around if you don’t fancy it. There is a firing range where you can pay extra to fire real bullets from real guns ( including an AK47)- I’m only emphasising this because when I read about the firing range I assumed it was either dummy guns, or little pistols. They are real bullets from real AK47s !!!! We then had an exceptionally good lunch before heading back on the speedboat. This is one of the best trips we’ve ever done, strongly recommend

Excellent trip to the Cu Chi tunnels - We had a terrific morning with this tour company. The speedboat was far preferable to time in a bus, we arrived early before things got too busy, and our guide was great - very knowledgeable and looked after the group very well. A light breakfast, fruit and water were provided on the boat, plus a plentiful lunch before we caught the boat back to the city. Left at 7, back at our hotel about 1. Excellent trip!

Great tour! A highlight of our trip - Absolutely brilliant tour lucky the tour guide and the other staff members were brilliant. Refreshments were great the speedboat and the number of us on it was absolutely perfect. It was definitely the best way to do the tour -cut out the traffic on a bus and the crowds . I was that impressed I booked another tour with the company Again thank you so much lucky!

Excellent - Flawless experience, much faster than by road. Also, if taking the early morning boat, you miss the hoards of other tourists! Lunch is provided, authentic and tasty Vietnamese too

Excellent service! - Booked this tour last-minute the night before and was confirmed quickly with no problems. No hassle at all, I was picked up directly from my homestay and driven to the boat. Breakfast, lunch, water/drinks, fruit - all provided. Our tour guide Anna was excellent! Very knowledgeable, funny, and efficient. I recommend going early to avoid the crowds. And the speedboat was a great, faster way to travel whilst also getting a chance to see the local scenery. And not losing a day of sightseeing in the city. Great trip!

Very rushed tour but great speedboat trip - The speedboat was a great way to arrive at the tunnels. The guide was amusing and gave us plenty of information. However, the tour felt very rushed. We were moved from one site to the next very quickly. However when it came to the shooting range those of us who didn't want to participate had to hang around for half an hour. It was very painful to the ears listening to the loud gunshot noise. Then we had to rush through the final part of the tour. The lunch was good and plentiful.

Bit of a rip off honestly.. the staff tour staff from “Authentic river experience” are appalling. - Don’t waste your time with this company, the tour guides don’t speak much English (it was highly difficult to understand) their groups are large and we got left behind inside the claustrophobic tunnel which we don’t recommend
