Cu Chi Tunnels with Speedboat
We had an amazing time on the Cu Chi Tunnels tour with Hang! From start to finish, everything was so well organised, and the service from the entire team was exceptional. Hang was an incredible tour guide—she was so knowledgeable about the history, explained everything in an engaging way, and was able to answer every question we had. We especially loved the boat ride and hearing her point out and explain everything we were seeing along the river. It really added another layer to the experience and made the tour even more memorable. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels. It was informative, enjoyable, and incredibly well run. Thank you to Hang and the whole team for such a fantastic experience—we would definitely do this tour again!

Great tour, good value,highly recommend
Normally we shy away from group tours- preferring to do our own thing-having done some research before our trip and being short on time we chose a 1/2 day small group speedboat trip to cu chi tunnels- so pleased we did! Cat our guide was fantastic- very knowledgeable & entertaining ! We were concerned that as it was a group tour we wouldn’t be able to use the shooting range( which is incredibly expensive but unique) but time was made for those who wanted to whilst others were offered an alternative activity. The tour felt unrushed & his team looked after everyone well.

Amazing tour - definitely worth the higher price
This was an exceptional tour and one of the highlights of my trip. We were picked up from our hotels and taken to the docks where we set off on the speedboat - which was a fun experience in itself! By starting early we got there way ahead of the crowds and basically had the place to ourselves. There was breakfast and snacks/drinks on the boat and a delicious lunch at the tunnels. The host really looked after us well and did a great job explaining the various parts of the tunnel system. I doubted myself after paying the premium amount (especially compared to the cost of the coach tours) but this was 100% worth it - was back at my hotel by 1pm! Can’t recommend this enough.
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.
Highly recommended, a must!
We went via speedboat to the Cu Chi tunnels, being looked after by our guide Anna and the fantastic team, who were attentive and friendly. We were provided with a tasty breakfast and lunch in restaurant at the tunnels, as well as fruit on the return journey. The tour was amazing, Anna is warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. The site itself is interesting but Anna added so much more with her ability to relay the information she made the tour interesting, immersive and enjoyable, despite its tragic roots. Through Anna we were given a fantastic insight into the experiences, and ingenuity, of the local people during the war. I would highly recommend this tour!
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
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!
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.

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.
This tour is absolutely amazing. I have done this before but by taxi. Arriving by speedboat is the way to do it! It’s incredible. You miss the crowds, traffic and the views are spectacular. Our tour guide kangaroo was outstanding and a lot of fun . Thank you
We had an amazing trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels with Les Rives. The pick up and info beforehand was really clear. The trip via speedboat was brill, and a great way to see a different side of HCMC. What made the experience was our tour guide Hang, who was informative and charming, and taught us so much about the tunnels and HCMC. Highly recommended.

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!
Big shout-out to Chau for being a great guide and sharing so authentically her view of the difficult history and the long suffering of the Vietnamese people. The site itself has become very touristuc and the shooting range is totally annoying. Anyway, we expected this and wanted to tick off this experience. Thank you to les rives !
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.
Amazing daytrip to the Cu Chi Tunnels via boat
We were guided by Kanga and he was an amazing and extremely lovely and positive guide with so much enthusiasm and knowledge. A difficult history to share but somehow he made it a really positive experience and we appreciated every minute. The boat ride was lovely and amazing as well and the staff on the boat, especially the girl serving us food and drinks were extremely helpful and friendly. Thanks for a great day
Excellent Cu Chi Tunnels Tour with Hien
This was one of the highlights of my trip to Ho Chi Minh City. The speedboat transfer was comfortable, well organized, and a great way to avoid the traffic while enjoying the scenery along the river. A special thank you to our guide, Hien, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate throughout the tour. She shared fascinating stories about the history of the Cu Chi Tunnels as well as Vietnamese culture, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Everything was very well organized, and I would highly recommend Les Rives, especially if you have Hien as your guide. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Speed boat only way to go for tunnels
We did the cu chi tunnel speed boat tour and could not rate it highly enough. Not only were we in a small group on a boat we got there well and truly before the buses did. Our guide aka kangaroo was awesome. His insight and passion made it an amazing trip which we all loved. The food in the your was also great. We loved the relaxing boat ride with scenery and were back before the real heat of the day to enjoy a swim and a more cold drinks
I thought i knew some history but believe me i didn't,. Go and see for yourself the place exceeded my expectations. Anna our g
The best way to see the tunnels!! Early pick up but by boat you missed all HCMC traffic! Go Early brekkie was simple buy what you'd expect on this tour. It was a fantastic morning

Practical questions
Before you board.
Why do you ask for my passport number when booking?
We are required by Vietnamese local authorities to collect passport details for all guests before departure. If you don’t have your passport number to hand when booking, simply complete your reservation first and email your passport details to bookings@lesrivesexperience.com at your convenience before the tour. Your information is used solely for the required registration process.
Why are your tours more expensive than other operators?
Most operators run large buses to crowded sites. We travel by private luxury speedboat in small groups, arriving ahead of the crowds, with breakfast, lunch, refreshments, all entrance fees, your guide, hotel transfers and travel insurance already included, no hidden extras.
A share of every booking also supports the local riverside families and communities we work with. You’re paying for a calmer, more comfortable, more responsible day out, not just a seat.
Are there proper toilets, food stops, and any forced shopping?
Yes. We include comfortable restroom breaks throughout the day. And no, there are no forced shopping stops or commission-based detours. Every moment is dedicated to discovering the authentic Mekong Delta, not gift shops.

How long does it take to reach the Cu Chi Tunnels by speedboat?
About 1 hour 15 minutes along the Saigon River. The boat pauses at a few points along the way for your guide to share stories of riverside life and because we set off early, you arrive ahead of the buses groups.
I'm claustrophobic — do I have to go inside the tunnels?
Not at all. The tunnels have been widened but can still feel tight, so going underground is completely optional and only a small part of the day. Your guide will look after you, and there’s plenty to see above ground.
How much walking is there at the Cu Chi Tunnels?
Around 600–700m in total across the site, at an easy pace with rest stops along the way.
Which tunnels do you visit — Ben Dinh or Ben Duoc?
Our tours visit Ben Dinh, with the exception of the boat-and-bicycle option, which goes to Ben Duoc. We can also arrange Ben Duoc on a private tour by request.
Is the shooting range included?
The entrance fee to Cu Chi is already included in your tour price. The optional shooting range is not if you’d like to try it, it’s about 75,000 VND (around $3) per bullet, paid on the day.
How long does it take to reach the Mekong Delta by speedboat?
About 1 hour 20 minutes by speedboat, far quicker and more scenic than the road, which is why the day never feels rushed.
What will we see and do in the Mekong Delta?
A full, relaxed day: a fruit orchard, a riverside market, a traditional rowboat through the canals, a Buddhist pagoda and a Cao Dai temple, and a local farmhouse for coconut-candy and rice-whisky tasting, finishing with a traditional lunch featuring the region’s famous fried elephant-ear fish.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Full refund if you cancel at least 7 days before your tour. 50% refund for cancellations 6–3 days before. Within 3 days, the booking is non-refundable.
