Best way to see Cu Chi Tunnels

JP was the ultimate tour guide for our 1/2 day Cu Chi tunnels. We had an absolute ball and learnt so much. JP made it fun and took lots of photos and made it a day we won't forget. Highly recommended. We were a group of 8 adults aged 20-58 and we all got so much out of it.

Taking the Cu Chi Tunnels tour by speedboat was a brilliant decision

Taking the Cu Chi Tunnels tour by speedboat was a brilliant decision. We were picked up at our hotel, and the boat ride lasted just over an hour. The tunnels were incredibly interesting and gave us a clear understanding of how they played a role during the war. It’s an unmissable destination for history fans in Vietnam. The tour was efficiently organized, and we stayed in touch with the operator through WhatsApp after booking online. For a faster and more enjoyable journey, I strongly suggest going by boat.
