Our trip with Thien to Cu Chị tunnels was superb. From the moment she met us at our hotel we knew we were in capable and experienced hands. Thien’s English is simply fantastic and she is a warm and welcoming person who is happy to share her personal experiences, which made the trip come alive. She seems to have a lovely relationship with everyone at the authentic tunnels and they obviously care about her too, which ensures that her tour party is well taken care of.
The “authentic tunnels” were the highlight of our trip to Vietnam so far. Far fewer “western” tour groups, which meant we felt we got a much richer experience and could gain a better understanding of the Vietnamese culture. Furthermore, we would highly recommend the village museum where you got a deeper understanding of how life was before, during and after the extension of the tunnel network. Thien has obviously worked hard to plan a well constructed tour.
Thien organised tastings of local foods for us, which meant no lunch purchases were necessary.
The tunnels themselves were made even better by a super friendly local guide who also accompanied us!
Thank you Thien!

Huyen and our driver met us at the Port gate in Hi Chi Minh City where our ship docked. Huyen is an amazing tour guide, funny, interesting, knowledgeable and we had a fantastic day with her. We visited the Chi Chu Tunnels.....the ones the locals visit, which was awesome! We would certainly recommend Huyen whilst visiting Ho Chi Minh City, she is a genuine and very warm person. Can't wait to do another tour with her next time we are in Vietnam.

We knew Cu Chi Tunnels were going to be one of the highlights of our time in Saigon. We looked at many different tours and companies offering day trips to the tunnel, but they didn't feel immersive and authentic enough.
The experience, education and learning was very important for us, aside from acutually experiencing the tunnels. We wanted to visit the tunnels to understand their history, their role in the war, impressions and insights of the Vietnamese people on their own history, the before and after of the war - in short, a living, breathing and immersive day trip into the history of Vietnam through the backdrop of the tunnels.
This, and so much more, is what we got on this trip with Thien.
What an incredible experience we had with her. Thien has so many personal stories to tell about the history, but also very contextual and relevant to the Vietnam we see today.
Fun fact: There are two tunnels for visitors. If you're a tourist, you go to the tourist tunnels in a group. If you're a traveller / explorer / wisdom hunter, you go to the authentic tunnels on a private tour with Thien.
We also did another tour around Saigon with Thien and unfortunately, we were short on time to do any more.
If you want to do Cu Chi Tunnels, you MUST do it with Thien. From start to finish, it will be an entertaining, educational, informative, and immersive experience.
Thank you Thien for making our time in Saigon so memorable.

I could not imagine anyone better to do this tour with than Thien. She arrived on time to collect us from the hotel with a driver, and we chatted away for the drive to the Cu Chi Tunnels. She has so much knowledge, and it was so interesting for us to learn new things and perspectives.
Thien ensures that at the tunnels, you are kept away from other tourists and we had tunnels completely to ourselves. We felt so comfortable with Thien, like she was an old friend. We enjoyed a delicious freshly made local lunch at the tunnels and tried local treats. Thien clearly loves her job and she is definitely the perfect person for it. This tour is a must do and Thien is the best guide!

What you really want when you go on a tour is a uniquely local experience from a uniquely local guide. Which is why our tour with Thien was perfect. We should apologise to her, for asking her questions about everything Vietnam from the moment we got in the car to the moment we were dropped off. It was an incredible learning experience for us and the kids. To top it off Thien gave us other sightseeing and food recommendations, which already a day on we have capitalised on. If you are looking for a perfect tour- this is it. Thank you Thien. Thank you.

Our 2nd day with Thien was a spent at the tunnels with a more in-depth tour than others we saw advertised. We learned about the lives of the locals and the origins of the tunnels before the war and how they were developed over time to what they are now. We found it quite hot so missed out the long tunnel so be prepared! Enjoyed some tasty local snacks all made on the premises before heading back to HCM. Thien has a good rapport with everyone at the tunnels and was missed by them when she took a holiday. We also enjoyed an unforgettable unique experience on the way back to our hotel.

Aura was an excellent tour guide, making sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire tour and waking up so early to meet me at my hotel. She thoroughly explained the background behind each ingredient of each dish we cooked and was indefatigable in her energy when cooking as well as guiding me through the Cu Chi tunnels. I 100% would recommend Aura and Tan's Cooking class to any future visitors - you will not regret it.

The Tour with Huyen was absolutely fantastic. Very interesting, a lot of Infos on vietnam and its hystory. But as well simply a good time with a lot of laughing. And naturally the salt Coffee was another highlight. Thanks as well for the hints where to shop and where the good SPAs are. So to make it short, no need to search a tour guide. Simply book Huyen, it is that easy...

We had a great day out at the Cu Chi tunnels with Thien. She was a brilliant guide, lively and engaging with a wealth of knowledge about the tunnels and Vietnam! I would thoroughly recommend this trip.

We did a similar tour to Cu Chi many years ago but on this occasion, Thien made the experience so much better. She is adept at providing a balanced perspective of that period of time, much of which comes from the experiences of her own family. And of course, she ensures that you are well taken care of during the day.
I thoroughly recommend this tour, Thien as a guide and also Withlocals, who seem very focused on ensuring a great customer experience.
