Summary:
Fantastic learning experience and visualisation of how the tunnel rats lived and moved around whilst avoiding detection. Our tour guide Hoàng Duy(James) was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour, he also gave some good food recommendations. I would definitely recommend this trip if you're in HCMC and have a half day to spare.

Summary:
I went on the Cu Chi Tunnels tour today with Minh as our guide, and it was absolutely fantastic. Minh was engaging, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable — he told the stories of the tunnels with so much energy and respect. You could tell he genuinely cares about sharing Vietnam’s history in an authentic way.
He had great facts, a brilliant sense of humour, and made everyone feel welcome throughout the day. The tour was both educational and really enjoyable — one of the highlights of my trip so far. Highly recommend booking with Minh if you get the chance!
