I’m sure we were just unlucky… we booked VIP trip as a treat… our guide had a hangover which he was proud to share… we started late and finished early… didn’t get much info all was rushed… had to explore ourselves just as well we did the museum the day before… Hope my next trip that we have booked with Viator will not disappoint us… Erica & Andy UK”

“Great tour to see the Cu Chí Tunnels. The guide was friendly and informative. Great price on the tour and is perfect duration for a day trip (approximate departure of 8am and return around 2pm in HCM). Take this trip if you want to skip the river portion the other tours do. Try going into the Tunnels. It's quite the experience.”

“the tour was great and the guide and driver were amazing. i do wish there would have been more information provided up front of the amount of driving versus touring. for example, it took almost 2 hours to get to the first stop, then we toured for 30 minutes. then another two hour drive for another 30 minutes tour, and again we were on the road for two hours. this was the theme for the day. if i would have known this i would have booked the half day tour to see what was the highlight for me, the tunnels, and would have stayed away from hours of driving for…”

She allowed me enough time to explore areas in my own time and at no point did I feel rushed. My driver was also excellent and had a good conversation with me as we went to pick up my tour guide (as she lived closer to the tunnels).”

“We had a wonderful morning with Lindy and her colleague Heen who was learning. We modified the tour a bit as we wanted to finish around lunchtime.

There were quite a few Vietnam soldiers at the Hoa Lo prison and when we were outside I asked Lindy if she thought they would mind having a photo. She said no they would be…”
