Awesome experience - Amazing trip to the tunnels, we learnt so much. Left hotel at 10.00 and it wasn’t busy at all at the tunnels so we enjoyed exploring. Our guide, Jen, was incredible, so knowledgable and made the whole experience memorable. Highly recommend!

great tourguide and driver and a must visit! - Polite and friendly tourguide with a passion for helping people. Great tour and places you'll visit. A great trip to do alone since you will be with a group. You will eat a lot and they will have extra water as well. Recommended

Great guide - We did this tour as a couple and it was a fun full-day outing. The Cu Chi Tunnels were definitely the highlight - they really showcase the tenacity and ingenuity of those who fought there. We opted not to go to the shooting range, but we did get a chance to crawl inside the tunnels themselves. The Mekong Delta portion of the trip felt a little more touristy and less meaningful after the Cu Chi Tunnels, but it was very scenic. The best part of this outing was the tour guide, Tony Tue. He came prepared and gave us an interesting and thorough rundown of Vietnam's geopolitical history as we got on the road. He brought maps and photos of the Cu Chi Tunnels so he could give us an introduction to them on the way there, which kept us from getting caught up in the crowds around the map/exhibit at the entrance to the Cu Chi Tunnel area. We also had a lot of casual conversations with him where he gave us his perspective on life in Vietnam and talked a bit about his religious background. He is an incredibly genuine and open person and was a perfect ambassador for getting to know Vietnamese culture. I would 100% recommend a tour with Tony Tue.

Private tour is the only way to go - amazing - First time to HCMC and Vietnam for a long weekend and must does are the Tunnels and Mekong Delta. Amazing expereince, incredible service and the choice to do it privately delivered so much more than just the tour. From the first contact by Eddie (Guide) and on to the professional and safe driving from Vinh (driver) the tour was brilliant. We learnt so much more than just the tour Inclusions - Vietnamese culture, history, Chinese and geographical regional differences - have so much better appreciation. For the tour the highlight are the tunnels. (1 hr away) It was extremely busy with large coach groups but having the private guide allows VIP entrance and the extra little things large groups don’t get. Be warned - these tunnels not designed for a western figure! Lunch was had onsite in the restaurant which was very enjoyable - only negative was it was cold - but was very tasty. There is a lot of driving as you go NW - S - then NE so having a very comfortable car is necessary but you see a lot of the countryside. The Mekong (2 hrs from tunnels) is very enjoyable but secondary to the tunnels. A little more touristy - small tips needed for the musicians and boat captains - but it’s great to see a few local traditions. Then it is a couple of hours back to HCMC. A special mention for Eddie is that everything ran like clockwork. We had a private tour of a lacquer factory, no waiting, lunch waiting for us, boat captains waiting for us to and fro - we never had to wait around - we felt like VIPs. A private tour is without doubt the right choice. More expensive yes - but the return on investment - is well, well worth it - do this tour, ask for Eddie and Vinh in their luxury Toyota SUV and you will not be disappointed.

An Amazing Vietnam experience! - We had an amazing tour with Harry, he was very knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and sharing this with us and giving us very in depth explanations about each section of the tour. There were a lot of different activities and experiences throughout the day that gave us a really good insight to Vietnam culture as well as a very delicious lunch, would definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting Ho Chi Minh City!
