Great Experience at Cu Chi Tunnel and Mekong River - Our tour guide Tommy is excellent in facilitating the tour. Proficient in English, as well as history of the places we visited. Very friendly, and texted me the night before to coordinate on the pickup details. Wonderful guide. Bus driver is also great in driving, patient and drove safely.

Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong river Tour - Our tour guide Alex Cuong was an excellent and very knowledgeable tour guide. He was more than a tour guide he also felt like a friend we had known our whole lives. He is super funny, playful, friendly and kind, always making us laugh while also sharing worlds of knowledge and history. Alex made sure no-one felt pressured into doing anything they did not feel comfortable doing. Alex made the experience much better than any expectations. We had a lovely day learning, adventuring, laughing and making memories.

Incredible experience with James - James was an absolute star who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time on this tour! He is visibly passionate about sharing the Vietnam War History and was full of energy throughout the day! We had an incredible experience with James. He was also very quick to respond when we were having trouble getting to the meet up point and was kind enough to accomodate picking us up from a different point without disturbing the itinerary of the rest of the group!! 100% recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about Vietnam and explore the authentic side of it at the Coconut Island. James also sent us a list of his favourite food recommendations which I can’t wait to try!!

No question - Just book it already. No need to look anywhere else. Ask if you can have Big Dave as tour guide and get ready to learn, feel and laugh.

Lockie - fearless tour guide! - Our tour guide, Lockie, was such a joy! Super easygoing, straightforward, and incredibly accommodating the whole trip. He explained Vietnam’s history in a way that was so simple and fun to follow, and yes, we even walked inside the tunnel together! On top of that, he shared real-life hacks along the way. Truly a smart and wonderful guide ☺️

Great Tour with Theo - Cu Chi & Mekong Adventure! - We had a great time on the tour! From exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels to enjoying lunch, local singing, and the Mekong Delta River, everything was well-organized and fun. A special shoutout to our tour guide Theo, an amazing guy. Super helpful, funny, and incredibly informative. He made sure the day was engaging and never boring. Although it was raining, the experience was still totally worth it. Highly recommend this tour if you want a mix of history, culture, and local charm!

Nice excursion! - Pleasant day trip with lots of comfortable and air-conditioned transport. Tunnels reserved for people of small morphology without motor problems; do not take backpacks to get off! Many people who do not allow to see everything on the seat... The boat trip on the Mekong is very nice, especially the small boats. Lots of incentive to buy.....

Tunnels were great - The tunnels were very interesting and well worth visiting. The shooting was very expensive though, so I'd skip that if I went again. The Mekong Delta part was disappointing unfortunately. Hours in a car to get there for a 15 minute boat ride and being taken from sales pitch to sales pitch.

Interesting tour but poorly timed and didn’t meet expectations - This tour didn’t live up to our expectations. The tour picked us at 7:30am, and from the offset we found our seats very uncomfortable with very little leg room, and the tour guide talked over a microphone for the 1.5hr drive to the cu chi tunnels, which was a lot that early in the morning. The cu chi tunnels were very interesting, but there were a lot of groups and although our guide was very enthusiastic and friendly we couldn’t hear him at times over the other tours. Lunch was good. The afternoon then started to go down hill. We went way over time, 2.5 hours, and the guide didn’t keep us updated on timings or provide us any real insight into why we ran so late. The Mekong delta wasn’t what we expected, but this wasn’t helped by the fact we were doing most of it in the dark. Even at 6pm we were adding in small stops which we felt were unnecessary. A lot of stops also felt like money grabs with people selling to us and/or looking for tips for any service provided. We left the last stop at 6:30pm (the original end time for the tour) and got back just after 8:30pm to our hotel. We missed our dinner reservation and were exhausted and mildly irritated by the whole afternoon.

ESCAPE unless you like to drive for hours - Catastrophic review (and it's not my kind 1st time and I've already done a lot of excursions.) Excursions lasting 13h interminable: of which 9h drive is the huge problem. You make 2 hours drive then arrive at cu chi duration 1h 30 min Then 3h30 drive , 2h on the delta to visit several islands then back again 3h30 (note that there were 1h of traffic jams and it is not their fault but even 8h drive for 4h of excursions no thanks ) We stopped at a lacquered frame factory visit to the running steps (20 to 30 minutes) and push us to buy as much as possible ... YOU DON'T WANT to buy good so we go and quickly (push by the guide non-stop), and it was like this all day (candy factory and other with coconut ).. or honey go look at the bees 2 minutes but hurry you fake buy now , at the tunnel of cu chi there are 1 shops and 1 museum corner (some showcases with weapons , bombs ).. no time to look have not been there for that! Will show you much more interesting stuff (and especially sell them to you!!) Terrible trips made to take as much money as possible, I don't understand the positive reviews (or they love to drive hours) However cu chi was interesting (but too short ) .. and the visits and the (small ) boat tour very nice and I do not forget the grandmothers who sing ( tips for the boat , tips for grandmothers) In short 9 hours drive to make only 4 hours of excursions (nice but not exceptional and far too pulled on the wallet change ) it is really not worth it ..A FUIR!!
