Overview

This full day trip is a perfect choice for those who want a deeper insight into the 20th century history of Việt Nam. It’s a combined tour, half day city and half day Củ Chi tunnels, which has been suggested by many tourists. You not only gain more information about the Việt Nam War, but you can also witness what was once one of the biggest battlefields in the world, to understand more about a small country whose endurance through many wars during its 4000-year history has given us a peaceful day like today.

Fantastic Tour - Must do

Published on Jan, 2025

We just completed a city tour with Vinh as our tour guide. From the start communication was great in terms of pick up time and the itinerary. Vinh has excellent English skills. His knowledge of each place that we visited was excellent and he really loved sharing the information with us. The tour was well paced and very professional. I highly recommend this tour!

Cu Chi Tunnels

Published on Jul, 2024

This was a great half day tour (not full day) and our guide James was very informative, fun and so good with our 3 boys. Highly recommend!

Tunnel visit led by James

Published on Jul, 2024

We had gone to the tunnel to see all the war time things, tour guide was James with us and that guy was really great and anthusiatic and led the whole group really well. Great work done by James.

Excellent private tour

Published on Jul, 2024

Excellent private tour of Saigon City and Cu Chi tunnels. Dana, my guide, was very knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. My driver was also very good. It was nice to have a private guide to go at my own pace at different sites. Highly recommend to see all the important sites in one day.

Unforgettable Journey: Dana Duyên's Exceptional Cu Chi Tunnels Tour

Published on Apr, 2024

Dana Duyên's small group Cu Chi Tunnels tour was an absolute delight! From start to finish, her passion for sharing the history and culture of Vietnam shone through. The intimate group size allowed for personalized attention and a deeper connection to the experience. Dana's knowledge and enthusiasm made every moment engaging and unforgettable. I highly recommend her tour for anyone looking to explore the Cu Chi Tunnels with a knowledgeable guide who truly cares about their guests' experience.
