Worth it! Definitely a must - Had a great time with mine to guide Alex, he was able to share some great insights and history to the area and greater Saigon. Went out of his way to make sure everyone was included and having a good time but understood the history of the area as well.

Fun time - Had an amazing time with Alex as our guide! Very knowledgable and funny guy :) the tour itself was also quite comprehensive. We didn’t just go to the Cu Chi tunnel, but also went to an orphanage where disabled war victims created some artworks as well as a war hero memorial.

Cu Chi with Big Dave - Big Dave was incredible. Very informative and would recommend him highly for people wanting a tour of the tunnels. Plus his food recommendations hit the spot

A 10 to this experience - I loved it. Our guide Tuan fought in this area during the war and the explanations and experiences he told us were very immersive, an excellent guide. Time to shoot an AK-47 was my favorite

Amazing. - I highly recommend this tour, not only explain what you see but you can also interact, we were lucky that our guide was Tuan, he fought in the war then knew first hand everything he taught us, he was also so kind to show us personal photos of himself battling, we were the only Spaniards of the group but Tuan made us feel very loved and integrated, we were able to shoot an AK47 here and it was an incredible experience.

Cu Chi Tunnel - Big Dave was a great guide. He told a lot about the Vietnam/America war and the historical background during the trip.
The stops during the ride were a bit touristy but Big Dave mentioned again and again that you don't have to buy and nothing was ever forced on you.

Cu chi tunnel - small group - Went on a tour guided by Kai, with a small group of 8 people. Prompt pickup at my hotel, and traveled in a comfortable minivan with AC. Good information about the tunnels and traps used during the war. Glad I went with the smaller group tour rather than the bigger group. Would recommend!

Great experience - Thank you, it was an amazing experience, Kai is a great English-speaking guide. The van was pretty small also a group was small, just 10 of us. Pretty interesting storytelling and great visual.
