Interesting and informative visit with an excellent guide - Excellent trip by fast river boat to Cu Chi tunnels. Our guide, Kha, was fun and very knowledgeable, helping to make this an unforgettable experience. He speaks great English and gave us some real insight into Vietnamese life and history in general as well as the specific story of the tunnels and war. The early start to beat the crowds was worth it - it looked much busier once the busses started to arrive. There were around 11 of us on the tour (my family of 5 included), which meant there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Highly recommended.

Cu chi tunnels via boat - Great trip with really informative guide. Quite harrowing conditions brought to life by knowledgeable and likeable guide. Boat is def the way to get there and see the changing landscape from city to countryside. We all had a go shooting AK 47s too which was fun.

Speedboat the way to go! - Going on the morning departure by speedboat meant we were first tour group of the day to go thru which made for an efficient tour. Guide was knowledgeable and passionate and luch was plentiful and tasty. Definitely recommend speedboat and morning departure to avoid heat of the day and greater crowds.
