We are the only company in Ho-Chi-Minh city to offer a small-group tour to Ben-Duoc tunnels, a non-touristy route for those who want to get insight of the Vietnam War. Bến Dược tunnels is about 20km farther away than popular-Bến-Đình area and attracts fewer foreign tourists. There is also a massive temple in memory of Vietnamese killed at Củ Chi, it is, at present, the largest war memorial in Việt Nam. If you are looking for an authentic experience to a less touristy site in a small budget, this package is a perfect choice for you.

The trip was very nice, Dana was a nice guide and very knowledgeable. We had a nice little group, only 5 people in total.
In the way to the tunnels, we had a stop at a lacquer shop, which was OK. The people there are making really nice things, and while this stop was not really mentioned as part of the trip, it did not feel wrong, and you were no forced to buy anything. The things were really nice though, and you are supporting Agent Orange victims.
The Ben Duoc tunnels were an awe-inspiring experience, the heat and tightness was oppressive, and we really could feel how hard it must have been back in the day. It was not very crowded when we were there, which was a plus.
Unfortunately, we did not visit Liberation Village which was supposed to be part of the trip, and we were not told why.
The lunch food was good, but not a must, if you have eaten Vietnamese food already.

What an amazing experience, would highly recommend!
Our guide "Big Dave" was very knowledgeable and made the day a lot of fun. I felt the group was very well looked after throughout the whole day. Big Dave was professional and very helpful. I would happily recommend any of my friends visiting Vietnam to use his service and try this tour. - Also do yourself a favour and fire the M-16 XD - Hoorahhh
Cheers Big Dave!

We had an awesome day at the Tunnels.
Our tour guide Big Dave, or as he likes to be called Handsome Dave was amazing, he was so informative and passionate about his job, but also very funny and really friendly, he made the whole experience very enjoyable.
This is a must do tour when visiting Saigon, and hopefully you get Handsome Dave as your tour guide.

What an incredible experience. Making it even more enjoyable was our brilliant tour leader Stark. He has some much knowledge regarding Vietnam,it's history & culture. This tour is a must as you must except the fact about the Vietnam war. The fact that these tunnels are over 200km & 3 different levels. Make sure you go into the tunnels to have an idea of life underground.

Fantastic experience. Our guide Dana really brought the tour to life with her sense of humour and insightful comments. Tours are won or lost on the quality of the guides, and Dana definitely scored a win on this one. The tunnels themselves are a unique and rather visceral experience, moving through the tunnels gives you a tiny flavour of life for the Viet Minh during the war.

a must do trip if you go to Ho Chi Minh.
Our guide slim Jim (today??) was so informative and one of the better guides we have had.
A little bit apprehensive about going into the tunnels but so glad I was convinced to do it.
The trip we had included lunch in a lovely restaurant overlooking the Saigon river very relaxing.
