Our small group tour Cu Chi tunnels half day - Ben Duoc tunnels tour will bring you to the original Cu Chi Tunnels Ben Duoc, avoiding the crowded buses at the more touristy Ben Dinh location.

I took the Innoviet Small Group Cu Chi tunnels tour this morning, leaving from my hotel on time. I have been to the Cu Chi tunnels two other times in previous HCMC stays, and I would have to say that this was the BEST!
My guide Henry spoke perfect English, supplied a detailed history of the French and American wars, along with telling family stories, and a good background about Vietnam history and culture.
One of the best things about this tour was that they visited the Ben Duoc series of tunnels, instead of the other (more CROWDED!) Cu Chi tunnels complex at Ben Dinh. There were hardly any big tour buses, it was more of a leisurely drive through the countryside to get there, and since there were fewer tourists, going into the tunnels was far more easy. I had debated on whether to visit Cu Chi again, but this tour was so different, I’m glad that I attended. Highly Recommended!

We took this tour as a family to get an understanding of the war time tunnels at a pace that suited us. The drive from our D1 hotel took around 90 minutes. Our guide was great and kept the conversation/ tour at an appropriate level for the children. This tunnel location was not busy at all, just us and a few local school groups. We also visited some old military equipment at the start, and the memorial/ temple next to the tunnel site as well. A private tour was great for our family

Our 2 days with San and Innoviet were amazing. He and his driver navigated us around the busy city of Saigon for a half day tour then the next day through the tunnels. San is very professional and he catered to our needs. I highly recommend Innoviet Tours and if you are lucky enough to get San!

We did the Cu Chi tunnels + Mekong river day tour with amazing guide San and driver Mr. Han. We had a lovely time learning about vietnamise culture and history. The Cu Chi tunnels tour was great because San took us through a much less crowded entrance. We were basically the only ones there. After that we drove to Mekong river and had a boat ride, visited Ben Tre’s coconut production and small village. We also had an unforgetable lunch at a homestay with great views and food. Truly an amazing experience! Thank you so much San and Mr. Han :)

Great experience. Our guide Henry was very knowledgeable and informative - on the car ride to the tunnels, he briefed us on the history of the Vietnam war which necessitated the construction of the tunnels, then at the venue led us through and was constantly explaining. As expected, we got to experience squeezing ourselves through the tunnels and had a small meal of tapioca. At our request, the guide also kindly brought us to the nearby shooting range to try out some of the rifles.

Innoviet are a great company, hugely helpful and reliable. We are a UK family of 4 - with teenagers whose interest in history is variable at best - but our guide Hai did a fantastic job in holding everyone's interest throughout the trip! Knowledge, enthusiastic and friendly, Hai brought everything to life in an easy to understand way. And special shout out too to Trung in the office, who was so kind and helpful!! Ben Duoc is fascinating. We virtually had the place to ourselves. Some of us went into the tunnels, one or two didn't fancy it, all very easy either way. We got a real sense of the 'The American War', all in all a great trip! Highly recommended.

Our guide gave us a really good history background and explained everything.
Gave us plenty of time for questions.
The group was just 4 people plus guide. Pick up at the hotel, good communication via Whatsup. We are so pleased with the tour.

We were picked up at our hotel by Hai and our driver promptly at 0700 for the tour. Would recommend having breakfast first as not provided. We booked a group tour however no one else had booked, so it was just the two of us! The car was spacious and air conditioned, which was great considering we visited at hottest time of year. Hai was very friendly, and knowledgeable about Vietnamese culture and history - and is a great storyteller! When we arrived at the tunnels site (Ben Duoc) it was very quiet, due to the time we arrived and the site being less visited by big tour buses than the main site. Both sites have the same content, but because it was so quiet it felt much more authentic. Learning about the tunnels was very interesting, and we even crawled through 30 metres of authentic tunnel - exhilarating but very warm! Hai explained very well the living conditions and experiences of the Viet Cong, as well as a demonstration of the booby traps laid for US soldiers. We had plenty of water and got to snack on some cassava, which was eaten by the Vietnamese during the war. We ended the day by doing some live firing with authentic weapons used in the war. The bullets are quite expensive so make sure you know what you really want to try out (we tried 5 rounds each of two different rifles and 40 rounds of a machine gun for around £100). Overall a really well thought out tour, a must visit whilst in Saigon! Thanks to Hai for a lovely day trip.

This was truly a brilliantly organised private tour for our family of five adults. We had a full day tour with a trip to the cu chi tunnels and the Mekong delta trip. It was a long day 7 am collection and drop off at 1830 hrs … but so worth it. Our guide was brilliant … very knowledgeable. We wanted something non contrived and non touristy and we def got what we wanted. Am amazing day truly a great memory.

Great half-day tour at Cu Chi Tunnels with tour guide Hannah! The experience was eye-opening and history-rich. We also got to try walking through the tunnels. Thank you Hannah for the history telling and explanations throughout the visit!
