What travelers say 5.0 (4 reviews)

Our guide was absolutely fantastic! They brought so much energy and humor to the whole experience. We learned so much about the local culture and history that we would never have discovered on our own. Highly recommend Saigon Adventure to anyone visiting!

Taking this tour was the best decision we made on our trip. Our guide didn't just feel like a tour guide, but like a local friend showing us around their city. Their English was excellent, and they made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun.

I cannot say enough good things about our guide. Their knowledge of the area was incredibly impressive, and they answered all our questions with so much patience. They took us to some amazing hidden spots. A truly 5-star experience!

Everything from the booking process to the actual tour was seamless. What really made it special was our incredible guide. They were so attentive, ensuring we were safe and engaged the entire time. It felt very authentic and far from a typical tourist trap.

If you book with Saigon Adventure, you are in great hands! You can really tell how passionate the guides are about sharing their culture. Our guide went above and beyond to make our day special, sharing personal stories that made the culture come alive.

This experience ended up being the absolute highlight of our vacation! Our guide was exceptional—funny, polite, and so knowledgeable. They paced everything perfectly so we never felt rushed. I would book with them again in a heartbeat.

THE SIDECAR EXPERIENCE: MORE THAN JUST TRANSPORTATION

Getting to the Cu Chi Tunnels is part of the adventure itself. Instead of traveling in a standard bus or car, you'll ride in a classic vintage sidecar through the peaceful countryside of southern Vietnam.

Along the way, enjoy fresh air, scenic views of rice fields and rubber plantations, and a closer look at local village life that many visitors never experience. The open-air journey creates countless photo opportunities and turns the ride into a memorable highlight of the day, making this tour about far more than simply visiting the famous Cu Chi Tunnels.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Learn the struggles of life in wartime Vietnam firsthand when you go below ground in the notorious Cu Chi Tunnels. See how soldiers and civilians lived through the conflicts and the ingenious methods used to conceal themselves.
  • An extremely complex tunnel system, the Cu Chi network covers a wide area of countryside near to Ho Chi Minh city and was an excellent way for the Viet Cong to move underground, undetected by American forces.
  • The Cu Chi tour starts with an introductory video detailing its long 25-year construction. Then it is time to go underground in the infamous 120-mile Cu Chi tunnel system which offered a safe haven for soldiers and thousands of Vietnamese people during the Vietnam War.
  • On display are booby traps, the remains of an US army tank and huge craters left by American B52 bombs. You will be able to admire lots of compelling photos and personal effects left behind.
  • There is also the chance to take part in your own "HUNGER GAMES" and fire an authentic AK rifle used during the war (magazines's fee is on your own).

Crawling through the Cu Chi Tunnels is a thrilling experience that every visitor wants to try at least once.
