Went to Cu Chi tunnels without a group tour. Took the public bus no 13 from HCM bus station till Cu Chi station. Then hopped over to bus no 13 at Cu Chi station to Bien Duoc. Paid 20k dong from HCM station to Cu Chi Stn and 7k dong from Cu Chi Stn to Bien Duoc. Highly recommended for history buffs!

Eine sehr interessante Tour, aus Hcmc sehr langer Weg. Die guides sprechen sehr gutes Englisch und erklären einem wirklich wie das Leben war zur Zeit des Amerikakriegs, wie die Vietnamesen ihn nennen. Es ist wirklich aufregend selbst durch die Höhlen zu kriechen und sich vorzustellen das jemand diese löcher gebuddelt hat und in bis zu 8m Tiefe leben konnte. Die Guides erklären einem sehr objektiv wie schlau sich die Vietnamesen angepasst haben und für ihre Freiheit gekämpft haben. Tolle Tour.

Did 3 tours in all with this company and couldn't fault any of them or the guides. The city tour I had a mini bus, driver and guide to myself. Didn,t disappoint. Went all over the city explaining everything. Took to a restaurant for lunch then several more joined to go to the tunnels. Being old enough to remember this happening made it even more interesting. How on earth did they do it and survive in those tunnels! Brilliant long day out.

Very interesting to learn more about what the vietnamese went through to get their independence. Their primitive yet effective ways to fight an asymmetrical war was very creative and unimaginable how they could survive living in these small tunnels even a minute of which seemed to be too much for a typical tourist!

Great location on Vietnam war to visit when arriving in ho chi minh city. However, it was very crowded and recommend to visit the ben duoc instead of ben dinh portion of the cu chi tunnel.
