Great way to get to the tunnels Cu Chi - Going by speed boat to the Cu Chi tunnels was a good choice! Firstly because the ride in the speed boat itself is already a fun and also because the journey gets much shorter. Ho Chi Minh City is a city with a lot of traffic, so avoiding travel by car was excellent. We were picked up at the hotel by a Van and quickly arrived at the port on the Saigon River. On the boat were served sandwiches, coffee, fruits, water and soda. We arrived well before the crowd of excursions and that made all the difference. The visit with guide Anna was very interesting and instructive. We entered the tunnel but we stayed only in the first 20 meters and took the first exit. It was enough to have an idea! Other participants stayed the 100 meters. The lunch served was very delicious! I found the tour super organized!

Impressive tour through Vietnam History - We went on a tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels with Les Rives on 24 December. We really appreciated their professionalism, from the moment they picked us from the hotel, and took us to the pier in a comfortable van through the difficult Ho Chi Minh traffic. It is a different experience to go there through the river in a solid and reliable speedboat, in which we always felt safe thanks to the crew. We opted for the afternoon tour, thus avoiding the peak time in the Cu Chi park, and had the lunch included, which was nice. Our guide was really knowledgeable and provided us a full account of how the Viet Cong guerrilla organised their resistance in the countryside, which was really impressive and ingenious! Even more interesting, our guide had relatives who fought on both sides, giving a full account of how painful and divisive the conflict was for the South Vietnamese people. As for the tunnels proper (they have a 40 meter section for the public), just be advised it is a truly claustrophobic experience, as it is hot inside, you cannot stand and you cannot fully open your arms, a physical and mental challenge. However, and thanks to our guide, you can make the most of the visit, even not actually getting into the tunnel. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic trip to Cu Chi with our fantastic guide Anna - Very nice experience - took the early trip and arrive before most of the other tourists. Nice trip with the boat - have been to Cu Chi many times but never by boat - it was really convenient. Anna our guide was super knowledgeable and her English was perfect - our kids at 12-15 understood everything. Super experience and I would highly recommend this company.

Cu Chi tunnels - Fantastic trip all the better for going on a speed boat up the river. Our guide Lucky was very informative and made the trip memorable.

Cu Chi by speedboat! - Our guide was from the south and was very knowledgable and interesting and spoke excellent English. The speedboat was a lovely way to be transported to and from the tunnels. We did the 11am tour with hotel pick up and couldn’t fault it. Plenty of refreshments including fruit and an excellent and plentiful lunch provided. Worth paying a bit more to get there more quickly without stopping off a souvenir stops along the way as some of the other trips do. Would recommend in a heart beat.

Must do! - So glad we found this tour. We did the morning tour to avoid the crowds and it's a totally different experience getting to the tunnels via speedboat rather than buses and learning about areas along the river. Plenty of refreshments provided on board and the breeze was welcome to escape the hot city. The lunch that was included as well was excellent. Tin was an absolutely amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable and funny, we couldn't have asked for anyone better! Thank you!

Excellent half day trip - Outstanding morning trip with Anna our tour guide who was very knowledgeable. It's an excellent speed boat ride and although an early start well worth it to be at the site when it was quiet. Excellent lunch, a banquet.

Perfection! - The boat ride and cu chi tunnel tour were fantastic! It was a great idea to go by boat. Not only did we get breakfast en route, it was a very pretty ride and we missed the heavy traffic heading to the tunnels! Like our guide said the car park was full by the time we came out! It felt like a private tour. Our guide Anna was also very knowledgeable. All in all a fantastic tour!
