Great experience - Great experience, our guide Như explained the history of the place with great knowledge and a good dose of humor. We enjoyed the tunnels, and the shooting, as well as the lunch and the boat cruise. I definitely recommend this tour for everyone who is interested in the history of Vietnam, or just want to try something new like shooting with real guns.

Best tour to CuChi Tunnels - Awesome tour lead by Anna, was lovely to fly down the Saigon River by speedboat with refreshments provided. Getting there early was a huge bonus, so the 7am pick up is THE BEST! Her knowledge of the Cu Chi Tunnels is great, finishing with a delicious Vietnamese lunch before returning by boat. Unbelievable the conditions the locals fought in to defend their country and freedom.

A great excursion - We had a great trip to The Cu Chi tunnels with Les Rives. They were very punctual collecting us from our hotel. The trip up the river on the boat was smooth and plenty of refreshments/food was offered. We arrived at the tunnels before any of the tour buses so had the place pretty much to ourselves. We appreciated the small group number on the tour. Anna, our guide, was excellent. She has very good English & explained everything so well, informing us about how the tunnels were excavated, how the Viet Cong lived there l and lots of details about the history of the area etc. We learned so much. The lunch provided was plentiful & tasty. Once we arrived back to Ho Chi Minh we were dropped back to our hotel. Really enjoyed the day.

The only way to do Cu Chi!!! - This was such a good experience. Picked up at hotel and on the boat by 0730 headed up the Saigon river. That in itself was a wonderful experience passing fishermen, Buddhist monks and just river life in general. A huge shout out to our guide Anna. What a wealth of knowledge and really got us ahead of the crowds all day so we could soak the tunnel experience in before mayhem arrived in its cast of thousands. A+++ for this experience all round.

Top tour to the tunnels if you want to avoid the crowds and combine a cool tour on the river - We really liked the tour. You will be picked up on time by a van at the hotel and taken directly to the river where the speedboat is waiting for you. During the 1.5h drive to the Tunnelb you will be provided with a delicious breakfast with coffee, sandwiches and fruit, as well as plenty of water. It is highly recommended to do the tour in the morning, as there are hardly any groups on site on arrival and you can explore everything in peace. Our guide Anna accompanied us superbly and explained everything about the tunnel system. In between there is a small snack on site (pandan tea and tapioca root). After you could crawl through a section of the tunnel yourself, we then head back to the entrance, where we are still directly having lunch together, which was also very delicious. Fruit and drinks are also offered on the way back. Overall, I can highly recommend the tour if you want to save yourself the long drive with a car and prefer to explore the surrounding area from the ship. One escapes the large crowds of visitors we saw arriving at the end of our tour with many vans. Back in HoChiMinh, the van is already waiting to drive you back to the hotel. Everything is organized. The booking via the Les Rives website was also straightforward and the communication to pick up by mail smooth.

Take the boat not the bus 👍 - Anna is an outstanding tour guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about her tour, the tour was also outstanding and my decision to take the boat was justified, breakfast, coffee, fruit and water on the boat trip was very welcome as was the brilliant lunch we had at Cu Chi, thoroughly recommend this trip 😊

Excellent day - one of the best tours we have done in Vietnam - Amazing day. Our guide Vin was excellent and very knowledgeable. Definitely worth paying more to go by speedboat. We booked the early tour and we were the first group to arrive at the tunnels. So nice to have the place to ourselves for a while before the crowds descended. Would highly recommend this company and Vin.

Amazing tour! - This trip was amazing! Going to the tunnels in the early morning on the boat was great as we arrived long before all the other tours and got to do our tour avoiding all of the heat. The boat ride was also beautiful! Our guide was really helpful sharing lots of information and answering all our questions. I would highly recommend this tour!
