A well organised and executed tour. Lucky was a great guide. The food at the end of thenl ground tour was excellent. The speed boat ride was smooth and also gave a little extra perspective on how things were for participants of the conflict. Would recommend to all to do this way and beat the bus tours.Tour duration4+ hr

Ryan Anwander September 16, 2026

This was such an amazing experience. Anh was our guide and she was phenomenal. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to see the tunnels and want a comfortable and no hassle way to do it. Their whole team is beyond exceptional.Tour duration4+ hr

Cu Chi tunnels

The guide was very knowledgeable and could answer all the questions asked. Great lunch after tour. Best and fastest way to get to the tunnels earlier than the crowds on tour buses and boat trip about 1.30 hours each way. Well worth the extra price.

katy peters September 13, 2026

What a wondeful start to our holiday. This is the only way to get to the tunnels . So much fun on the way there and it meant we got to the tunnels with no one else there so the morning was just amazing. Our guide was so helpful and informative It’s a must doTour duration4+ hr

Smooth and experience

We had Anna as our guide, she made the experience very smooth from a prompt pickup to detailed explanations throughout the tour. The tour itself was smooth with amazing food and non stop fruits and refreshments. We visited many different locations outside the city and had a nice change in pace. Highly recommend

A very unique place on earth - Cu Chi

We arrived early at Cu Chi Tunnel by a speedboat to avoid the crowd. Our guide Hang explained to us what we saw while on the river, like the half dismantled bridge, different types of hospitals, flood control mechanisms, buildings for bird nests, etc. She is extremely knowledgeable seasoned with a sense of humour. For example, she showed us what kind of juice from flowers could be used as shampoo / why they cooked rice in bamboo instead of pots. Of course she explained in details the tunnels and the war.

The Best Way to Experience Cu Chi Tunnels

This tour was very well organized and operated. The pickup was on time, our boat captain was great and the service on board with fruit and cold drinks was very attentive. Anna is an excellent guide - she took us through the Cu Chi site and was extremely knowledgeable. It was fascinating to learn about the ingenuity and resilience of the resistance fighters. Anna explained so much detail and kept our group moving along so we could see everything before the midday heat and many of the crowds of other tour groups arrived. Highly recommend this experience. The boat ride along the river to and from Cu Chi was enjoyable and much better than sitting in traffic!

Jemma Abey January 1, 2026

Amazing! Our guide was so knowledgeable and even shared personal experiences that her loved ones have had living in the tunnels which was very special. Honestly, don’t bother with any of the other tour companies. We saw them while there, the groups are huge and you don’t get to see as much. Les Rives has small groups, quicker travel on the speed boat and a yummy lunch also. Well worth the extra cost compared to other companies.

Private Boat Tour

From great communication and booking process to the seamless pick up and departure our trip was made very simple and enjoyable. We had a private tour with Lucky who spoke excellent English and was informative, helpful and humorous through the day. She spoke excellent English and understood the kind of tour we were after The boat crew were brilliant with cold drinks and fresh fruit in hand. Overall a great experience thank you

Cu Chi tunnels by Mekong River

Had an excellent river trip to Cu Chi Tunnels. The boat is much faster than by road and you get there early before the crowds. Hotel pick up was on time . We had a bahn mi for breakfast on the boat plus a Vietnamese coffee. Fruit, Water and coke were also provided. Anna our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we were altogether before she started speaking. After the tour we had an amazing lunch of local food, before heading back to Ho Ch Minh. A bit more expensive than by road but definitely well worth it.

Must do experience while in Ho Chi Minh City

Very enjoyable and interesting tour on the speed boat and authentic Vietnamese canoes exploring the Mekong Delta. Anna was lovely and very informative. Relaxing and fun cultural immersive day. Food on the trip was very nice. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful day with Les Rives Authentic River Experience on the Can Gio Mangrove Forest by Speedboat tour. From the punctual pickup to the smooth transitions between each activity, everything was thoughtfully organized and relaxed. Our guide, Lucky, was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the day. She brought the experience to life with fascinating insights into Vietnamese culture and nature, while her friendly enthusiasm made the tour feel personal rather than routine. The comfortable speedboat ride along the Saigon River was a highlight in itself, with the breeze on our faces and the changing scenery unfolding around us. At an authentic local market, Lucky introduced us to Vietnam’s colorful fruits, fresh fish, and distinctive meat specialties. The lively atmosphere, unfamiliar aromas, and local character made it feel like a genuine glimpse into everyday life rather than a tourist stop. In Can Gio, we glided through the quiet mangrove waterways in a traditional rowing boat, surrounded by tangled roots, green foliage, and the soft sounds of the forest. We saw bats, monkeys, and crocodiles, then enjoyed a peaceful walk beneath the mangrove canopy. Each part of the day offered something different, from wildlife encounters to moments of calm in nature. A delicious and authentic Vietnamese lunch was the perfect finale, filled with fresh flavors and comforting aromas. The small group, generous tropical fruit, and refreshing drinks created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere throughout the day. This tour beautifully combines nature, wildlife, local culture, and excellent food. Lucky made the experience truly special with her warmth, knowledge, and enthusiasm. We highly recommend this memorable day and would give it five stars without hesitation!

Amazing trip! We thoroughly enjoyed evert minute of it. My special thanks go out to a wonderful guide/woman called Hang, we had with us!!! She was super knowledgeable and joy to be with. I want say a big big THANK YOU to her personally!!! The captain and his crew were also outstanding!Tour duration2–3 hr

Best way to visit Cu Chi and no annoying traffic jam

I will highly recommend this tour if you want to visit Cu Chi Tunnels. Go by speedboat is a great experience as it can avoid the bad traffic jam and also enjoy the view of Saigon River. Faster and more comfortable. The crew are also very nice, be very clear about the schedule what's next, where to plan the short rest. Our tour guide Lucky makes our tour totally exceeding the expectations, she has great knowledge about the Cu Chi Tunnel and the history behind, she is taking care us especially the young kid every nicely. The Tour also included the fresh fruits and cold drinks on the boat and one nice and fresh lunch. I think it's a much better choice than the bus tour.

Fantanstic

We really enjoyed our Can Gio tour with Les Rives. Going to Can Gio by speedboat was such a different experience, and my whole family really enjoyed the journey. The tour was not crowded, so everything felt very chill and relaxing. Our guide Anna and another male guide were both very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. We also really enjoyed seeing the wildlife and exploring the mangrove forest. We travelled with my parents, who are over 60, and my 5-year-old daughter, so I was a little worried that the trip might be tiring for them. But surprisingly, no one felt tired at all — everyone just really enjoyed it! Definitely a great experience for families and a different way to explore Can Gio.

Amazing service and insights

Picked up from our hotel and brought to the docks to board the boat. On the way up had a nice, simple breakfast served, with lovely iced coffee. Anne explained lots of ins & outs of this tour, while the helmsman expertly maneuvered the boat through heavy cargo traffic and fields of water hyacinths. Each stop was enlightening and gave us more/better insight in rural Vietnam, it's culture and people. Every time re-boarding the boat another fresh fruit was presented by the very attentive and friendly crew. Keeping us hydrated and eager to see/learn more. After a delicious, farm stay, lunch we headed back to HCM. Looking back at a highly recommendable tour, with great people, taking care of you, your comfort and safety at every turn of the Mekong Delta.

Romantic sunset

This was one of the best experience we had in Phu Quoc. First of all, the staff was very nice and welcoming. They served us fruits, water, soft drinks and snacks. The staff also respects the COVID-19 measurements, by providing hand sanitizer and give masks if you don’t have one. Everyone is kept at distance from the other. I will strongly recommend you to do this with sunset cruise. The catamaran speedboat was spotless and huge. I will definitely do it again and recommend this cruise to everyone.

M2806OCannien December 2, 2021

Highly recommended !

I can’t say enough good things about the experience and the crew, especially the tour guide, Hang. She was lovely, knowledgeable. She gave us some good information about the life of local fisherman in An Thoi. My boyfriend loved the sunset scenery, it was beautiful and romantic. I travel quite a bit and I’m the typical traveller with high expectations and standards, but this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Highly recommended!!

PHAMNUDIEUY December 14, 2021

Lovely guide ever

Overall it was a great day out. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and transferred to An Thoi harbour where we joined the speedboat tour to explore the southern of Phu Quoc. As there was a heavy rain the day before the tour, I was a little concerned about the sea that would not be ideal for snorkelling, however Hang, our lovely tour guide, had an extensive knowledge of the local snorkelling areas and changed the itinerary to suit the conditions. Our first snorkelling was in the relatively shallow waters of Hon Bang island, and then the deeper, but slightly more exposed site on Hon Buom island. Both locations are great spot for snorkelling with beautiful coral and lots of colorful fish swimming around. After that we had back to the private island for lunch. Thanks Hang and her team for this great day.

khanhtran150692 December 16, 2021

Highly recommended

We had an amazing time on this sunset cruise tour. Staff are extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful. Unlimited complementary include tea, soft drinks, water tropical fruit and snacks were provided along the tour. The catamaran speedboat was barely half full, we were able to walk around and change sits and enjoy different views. Hang was our tour guide, she was lovely and spoke English very well. Another plus is that all staff wore masks at the whole times and followed covid regulations strictly. Overall really good experience and highly recommended.

David T June 29, 2023

What a great day

I discovered this company while searching for boat trips with snorkeling in the southern part of Phu Quoc, and I'm glad I did. Booking through their website was easy, and they picked us up on time from our hotel lobby. Our guide, Hung, was fantastic—funny, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. We had a great day snorkeling at a beautiful island and trying our hand at fishing. The delicious seafood lunch on a private island was a highlight. Overall, the experience was exceptional, thanks to the friendly staff. I highly recommend it.

Lamthao13 June 15, 2024

Amazing boat trip

We can't stop raving about our snorkeling trip—it was an absolute highlight! Despite the weather being less than ideal, we were thrilled to experience the underwater wonders of Phu Quoc. Swimming amidst the vibrant fish and mesmerizing coral reefs was truly breathtaking. What made the trip even more remarkable were our guide, Hung. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. They ensured our safety and made sure that even non-swimmers and families with young children had a fantastic time. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the excursion. If you're visiting Phu Quoc, we highly recommend booking a snorkeling experience with Les Rives. They cater to all skill levels and make it accessible for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're an experienced swimmer or traveling with little ones, Les Rives will provide an unforgettable adventure. Thank you Les Rives team 🛳

Amazing trip

We had an amazing day exploring multiple islands in the south of Phu Quoc with Les Rives. The tour was exceptionally well-organized, and the team took excellent care of us throughout the trip. We were treated to a delicious lunch on one of the islands, which was a delightful highlight. The snorkeling experience was fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed the stops at the beautiful islands. We extend our gratitude to Les Rives for providing us with such a wonderful day.

Amazing First Snorkeling Trip in Southern Phu Quoc!

Our first snorkeling trip to southern Phu Quoc was fantastic, all thanks to Les Rives' excellent organization and planning. Hung, our tour guide was wonderful. He explained the itinerary clearly, so we always knew what was next. The islands and snorkeling spots were beautiful, and it felt like we had the island all to ourselves. Hung's deep knowledge of Phu Quoc and its islands made the experience feel very personal. I highly recommend Les Rives. Thank you, Hung, and his team for making our day so special!

A Memorable Evening with Exceptional Service

My girlfriend and I had a truly wonderful evening, thanks to the impeccably organized and professional service provided by Les Rives. From the seamless pick-up to the knowledgeable guide, comfortable boat, and well-chosen destinations, everything exceeded our expectations. Hung, our guide, was a delight to be around and enriched our experience with insightful information. We would enthusiastically recommend this company above others. Despite the slightly higher cost, we found the experience to be immensely worthwhile. Keep shining, Hung!

Zoe August 1, 2025

I am not a tour person, I travel solo and have been to 152 countries so usually don't find much value added from tours - but the guide on this tour was phenomenal. Her knowledge about Vietnam exceeded anything I could have researched oh my own. Highly recommend this tour company because the guides they choose are exceptional.

Michael Schumacher April 1, 2026

Booked and experienced the Can Gio Forest Tour. From Booking to execution expectations have been exceeded. Everyone was helpful and knowledgeable. The Tour itself was well organised and paced in a tranquil manner which made it smooth as silk. The Team on the Speedboat has been super attentive and friendly, the young man who cut endless fresh fruit was amazing and our Tour Guide Ms. Lucky was just perfect. All been done in a cool, friendly manner and she always been proactively offering help, information or else. A Sunday well spent, thank you to the company and all team members. Highly recommend this Organiser and his Tour.

Rebecca crane May 1, 2026

This tour is a very emotional experience. The tour guides are amazing and also know personal stories that they share. Going by speed boat is a great way to see the river and sights, and the boat is comfortable. I would recommend the early moring trip as you do beat the crowds and the heat. If you are game try the the tunnels it does give you a perspective of this horrible war. Even if you don't go down there is alot of information given and things to see. Lunch was plentiful and yummy. The tour also did a breakfast. The staff are super friendly and speak very good English. photos do not do this place justice, highly recommend this tour 11/10.

This was our second trip with Les Rives: they took us to the Cu Chi tunnels a couple of days before. They're are great, well organised company. From the boat driver, the assistants and our guide Anna: they all made our trip a great experience. There was water and fruit available all day. A good lunch was provided with several local dishes. We also did a short ride on a sanpan which took us into the smaller river. We visited a local market, a temple and a family smallholding with many fruits which we tasted as well. A thirst quenching drink of coconut water from a freshly cut coconut. We went to less touristy areas on this tour and I'm so glad we did.

E.M. K. April 1, 2026

To see the Cu Chi tunnels, I opted for the more luxurious option of getting there by speedboat with ‘Les Rives Authentic River Experience’ rather than by bus or taxi, and I certainly haven't regretted the decision. By the way, it wasn't the kind of speedboat where you have to hold on tightly to prevent yourself from falling off. 😉 Although the boat trip is not much faster than travelling by bus, it has the following advantages: a) There is the possibility to sit outside and enjoy the view and the breeze. b) Because of a), the seating order was fluid rather than preset, at least in our group, which allowed talking to other members of the group if one wanted to. c) The catering service was excellent. We were offered a light breakfast, plenty of fruit (my favourite!) and soft drinks on top of the great lunch served at the destination. I was very glad that Lucky was our tour guide. Upon arrival at our destination, she gave a thorough introduction to the history of the Vietnam conflict and the tunnel structure, which I really appreciated. Furthermore she conveyed the facts and stories in an interesting and entertaining way throughout the tour, and her English was excellent. On top of that, she was a very likeable person with a great sense of humour. My thanks also go to the boat crew, i.e. the captain and the young and very friendly lady in charge of catering. We also had a nice chat on the return trip. It was a great experience!

My sister and I visited Vietnam during her spring break and enjoyed a WONDERFUL tour with Les Rives! We signed up for the tour that included the Cu Chi Tunnels + The Mekong Delta. With the two combined, the tour is about 9 hours. We were picked up on time at our hotel and driven to the dock which was fairly close. There was a small wait at the dock but soon enough we were on our boat and headed to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Taking a speedboat to the tunnels was scenic and much shorter than the drive. On the boat they had drinks and food for us and great snacks throughout the day. The actual tour of the tunnels was informative and interesting. Being in the space really brought the history to life and I found it all pretty fascinating. We even got to walk through a section of the tunnels but if you're somewhat claustrophobic you can easily opt out of this part. After the tunnels we set out for the delta. I loved seeing the countryside from the boat. We had a really delicious lunch at a local restaurant and also toured a farm, stopped at a local village. One of my favorite parts was when we went on a canoe ride down a portion of the delta, it was simple but really beautiful and peaceful. Our guide was very helpful and full of information and helped to make our tour special. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip and I'd absolutely recommend Les Rives to any friends visiting Vietnam.

Very impressed with this company, booking process for the Cu Chi Tunnels Tour was easy through their website and good comms via email. Price per person was approx $120 AUD. Driver was on time for pick up from our hotel. We chose the AM tour which started at 7am for us and concluded at 1pm. Breakfast was provided - banh mi’s or croissants, Coffee and fruit. Water and soft drinks always available and one of the staff members was always making sure he was rotating them out of the ice box so always cold. The boat ride was smooth and very pleasant. Highly recommend this mode of transport versus road. It is a lot quicker. Our tour guide was excellent, we don’t usually do ‘tours’ but this moved along at a good pace and the timing avoided the crowds. There are amenities onsite with toilet paper. You can purchase extra drinks at the section where you purchase bullets for the various guns. It is pricey, cost $120 AUD for an AK47 (10 rounds min) and RPD machine gun (20 rounds min) that took only seconds to fire haha. We then had lunch provided in the restaurant onsite which was a nice meal before getting back on the boat. More drinks and fruit, then drop off at hotel. There is a detailed itinerary on the website. Highly Recommend this tour and specifically this company. The staff were very friendly and professional and safety conscious.

Megan Lowe June 1, 2026

The speedboat trip to the Cu Chi tunnels was so worth the money. We were travelling with three teenage boys and were concerned about taking them on the buses, as we didn’t want to get there with three grumpy teenagers who would disengage. Going on the speedboat made it so much more interesting for them. It also meant we left so much earlier, which meant the temperatures were far more bearable. When we got there, there were very few people, which enabled us to really enjoy the tour and the exhibitions. At the end of our tour, we couldn’t believe how many buses there were in the car park and how busy the place had got. Whilst the price is quite a bit higher than going on the bus, we are so glad we paid the extra.

Tamara Fucile July 1, 2026

The Cu Chi tunnels tour was the best tour my family took on our entire 2 week trip in Vietnam. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and presented the war history in a fair and balanced way. Arriving to the tunnels by boat allowed us to have a much more enjoyable journey from HCM and also enabled us to get to the tunnels first — before any other tour which greatly added to our experience. Yes, this tour is a little more expensive than others. But worth every penny. My only regret is that my family did not have the time to do additional tours with Les Rives.

Jenny bennett July 1, 2026

Our absolute highlight of our two weeks in Vietnam (and we had an amazing trip). Taking the speedboat made the journey really comfortable and we got there before the crowds. Our guide Hang was so knowledgeable and even better so funny. An experience we will never forget.

Thomas Luescher July 1, 2026

The half-day tour to Củ Chi is expensive by Vietnamese standards, but it was worth it. Traveling by speedboat in a small group is much more relaxed than taking the bus, and it saves you from having to book a separate river cruise. Even with an 11 a.m. start, there weren't many tourists at the site—unlike at the more common location further north. The price is all-inclusive. The tour guide was knowledgeable and humorous.

Silvia Todesco August 1, 2026

We had a very enjoyable tour. It was interesting and, above all, authentic, as we didn't see any other tourists during the entire trip. Our tour guide, Anna, speaks excellent English and shared a lot of interesting information with us. The tour was very diverse. We visited a plantation, a local market, a pagoda, and a boarding school. The only slight disappointment was the short sampan boat ride, which passed alongside a construction site. The lunch was very good, although it was served in a windowless room. The pickup was on time, and the entire tour was very well organized. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this tour.

Kiki Sledger August 8, 2026

We had a great experience with this company. We chose the half day 7am to 1pm cu chi tunnels experience. The transport was all on time and the staff and our guide ‘Lucky” was very professional and knowledgeable. We didn’t realise we were also getting a delicious breakfast on board and locals fruits as well as ice cold drinks and coffee. The tour was super interesting and it was great to start early and beat the crowds especially as it was a very hot day! Bring insect repellent and sun cream! The walking is not difficult and if dry, sandals etc are more than fine. The part where you go through the tunnels was definitely an experience! (You can also opt out if claustrophobic.) there is also a delicious lunch included which we were also not expecting - this was banquet style and not busy when we ate. The tour is very well structured with rest room breaks, beverage breaks etc throughout. We had 6 young kids on our tour (total of 14 people) and they all had a great time. Would highly recommend this tour. And thanks again Lucky!
