Cu Chi Tunnels - Arrive in Cu Chi tunnels
Tour guide will give you an overview introduction of Cu Chi Tunnels and its legendary history. Enjoy the scenic drive northwest towards the Cambodian border. You will get to explore a section of the network of some 125 miles (200 kilometers) of subterranean passages and rooms. Upon arrival at the Cu Chi Tunnels, take a short documentary film about the Cu Chi tunnels tell you how about the tunnels histories and how fierce the war happened. Then the tour guide will help you to learn the pivotal part they played in the war such as trap doors, and climb inside to see where the Viet Cong built storage facilities, weapons factories, kitchens. Afterward travelers can try local special foods like rice tapioca and hot tea which was main food in Cu Chi during the war. Visitors can try to fire off an AK47 or MK16 or machine guns at the nearby shooting range (not included, participate at own expense and risk).
Leave Cu Chi tunnels and transfer for lunch. - Ben Thanh Market - Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1 is a great place to buy local handicrafts, branded goods, Vietnamese art and other souvenirs. Here, youâll find eating stalls inside the market where you can get a taste of hawker-style Vietnamese cuisine or simply cool off with a cold drink when the bargaining becomes too much. The market is big, difficult to navigate at times and certainly best avoided during the hottest part of the day but all the same its well worth a look. When night falls, restaurants around the perimeter of the market open their doors creating a vibrant street side scene filling the air with the scents of wok-fried noodles, barbecued fish and meats. One of Saigonâs oldest landmarks, Ben Thanh offers a great atmosphere that is absolutely authentically Vietnamese.
- Ho Chi Minh City - If we have more time (depending on cruise ship schedule), we could arrange you to visit more famous places in Ho Chi Minh City: Notre Dame Cathedral, The Central Post Office, Independence Palace, The Peopleâs Committee Building Saigon .etc.

Cu Chi Tunnel and Ho Chi Minh City tour - Great excursion!! James Nguyen was a very kind and knowledgeable tour guide. The driver was professional and courteous. I definitely recommend this excursion. The Cu Chi tunnels gives you a good perspective of what was happening during that time in history. The Pho restaurant had the tastiest pho I’ve ever had. The broth had rich developed flavor. The sightseeing around Ho Chi Minh City was fun. Almost forgot, the traditional lacquer factory had beautiful work, and gave a step by step process on how the pieces are made.

Visit to Cu Chi Tunnels - My husband and friends were picked up from the port for this visit. Sarah was lovely and had to cope with terrible traffic each way which made the double journey nearly 8 hrs in total. The driver was excellent. Once we arrived at the tunnels Sarah took us around the vast site and was very informative with the history. It really was an unmissable trip which explained many things of this part of history.
We were due to eat lunch but we didn’t have enough time due to the traffic, so Sarah arranged for the restaurant to have a takeaway meal which we collected and was delicious.
More time would have been good but the heavy traffic was no one’s fault and Sarah was great.

Perhaps the most special... - Perhaps the most special experience in all of our tours throughout various countries in Asia. Our guide, Liam, was simply spectacular. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, enthusiastic, thoughtful and he always anticipated all of our needs (provided water, bathroom breaks, etc). Liam went above and beyond all of our expectations! He provided our group with memories for a lifetime. Liam is a special person with a heart of gold.

History worth seeing - Ryan was an excellent guide who txt me the day before with instructions of how to exit the Port from our cruiseship & where we would find him .. very informative trip to the tunnels & I even went down them .. not bad for an 80 year old. Lunch in a Michelin star resturant in Saigon was a lovely surprise. I highly recommend this tour

Truly Amazing Excursion thru Ho Chi Minh City and the Cu Chi District - This trip was an absolute incredible adventure! We were greeted by our personal guide Vinh Nguyen “Liam” promptly at 8:00 a.m. The transport was an extremely comfortable sightseeing van with excellent views for taking pictures while on the drive. They really took pride in their vehicle, as was evident by the freshly cleaned windows for photography. Liam was a very enthusiastic young man with a great sense of pride, passion, and professionalism for his job. He possessed a great understanding of the history of his country and was so willing to share all the aspects of the country’s culture as we drove to the Cu Chi District. I consider myself a pretty good historian, but I learned so much truth and insight from this gentleman this day! We were never rushed during the tour, and every aspect of life in Vietnam was graciously explained. The Cu Chi tunnels were incredible! The history of why they were located and built in the manner they were was eye-opening! My adrenaline was on high all day! Being able to go to Vietnam and sharing this experience with my family was definitely one of the best experiences in my life! If I get an opportunity to return, I will definitely meet up with Liam again!

Fantastic tour, highly recommend!! - Captain Bruno was an amazing guide! So much enthusiasm & passion for his job. Really appreciated the driver as well given it was such a long day. Both were amazing and really made a difference in our experience in HCM. Despite running late due to our late disembarking Bruno made sure we got to see whatever was on our list!

Confusion with the... - Confusion with the meeting time. We booked the meeting time for 10AM but got message grom the guide that we should meet at 7AM because of the traffic. We end up meeting at 8:30am. There should not be a choice of meeting time on the site to choose. We ended up rushing through the city.
