Had a great experience with Saigon River Tour to the Cu Chi tunnels. From booking followed by the WhatsApp communications to arrange and confirm hotel pick up was seamless. The speedboat took about 1 hour and was a different way to experience the city and river. We arrived at the wharf which is right at the Cu Chi tunnels site, and were the first group of tourists- so got a head start on the other tourists coming by bus. Mr Hung, our guide, was so welcoming, funny and informative. […]
We did the Saigon Watertour to the Cu Chi Tunnels, guided by Ms. Moon.
It’s true — the boat trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels takes only about an hour and is likely much more time-efficient than a bus ride. The downside is that the boat makes quite a bit of noise at high speed. But it does let you see the river along the way.
The Cu Chi Tunnels themselves are a tourist hotspot. Fortunately we arrived early (departure at 7:40) so we beat most of the buses. […]
Such a great day out! Taking the speedboat to the Cu Chi Tunnels made the trip even more enjoyable. Chister was a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and great at making the history interesting. The crew were also amazing: welcoming, attentive, and professional throughout. Highly recommend this tour!
SPECIAL OFFER: One complimentary drink at lunch.
