Great trip and fabulous journey

Booked via their official website. Morning tour to Cu Chi Tunnels with lunch. Cost for 2 adults - 4,000,000 VND. Picked up from hotel by minibus and taken to central boat dock in Ho Chi Minh. ‘JP’ was our guide. He was fantastic, full of life, engaging and knowledgeable. The Captain of the boat was also very good. The boat was clean, modern, comfortable with splash guards and a full canopy. All the life jackets were very new. We had large chocolate croissants, fruit and cold bottled water for breakfast onboard. JP gave a history of the area and we sped off up the river Saigon. It is a great way to beat the traffic and see a different view. On arrival JP dealt with entry and directed the entire tour. He kept everyone together and encouraged us all, (group of 8), to view the exhibits and enter the tunnels. He even took photos of couples. His explanations throughout were very good. Once the Cu Chi Tunnels are completed you return towards Ho Chi Minh on the boat but stop for lunch on the way. It is a beautiful location and the table is already laid out waiting for you. The lunch was superb with a lot of items presented to you. After lunch it’s back on the boat for a short hop back to the dock and then transfer back to your hotel. Picked up at 07:45 and returned at 13:50hrs. Absolutely perfect morning event run by a professional company. If you’re thinking of visiting Cu Chi Tunnels then Fisheye is a great way of seeing it.

Unforgettable Cu Chi Tunnels Tour with the Amazing JP!

We can’t rave enough about our Cu Chi Tunnels tour! Taking the speedboat was the perfect way to travel, avoiding the busy traffic and giving us time to soak up the scenery. Our skilled boat driver navigated the river with ease while we learned fascinating insights about Vietnam and what to expect at the tunnels. Our guide, JP, was truly exceptional — the best we’ve ever had. His upbeat energy never wavered, his English was impeccable, and he had a great sense of humour. He was kind, engaging, and made sure everyone felt included, even our three teenage boys. To top it all off, he sang us a beautiful song as we departed. It was an unforgettable day — one we’ll treasure forever.
