"Thien is such an incredible guide!!!!!!! Absolutely book a tour with her if you’re ever in Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. She has a great grasp of English and she’s an incredible conversationalist. She’ll be able to answer any questions you might have about anything and everything in Vietnam. She’s also very funny and had us laughing throughout the day. We started the tour by adding a breakfast banh mi and cafe for coffee which were both very tasty. We then headed to the tunnels where she offered a very in depth explanation of the history behind the tunnels, she even got a guide to accompany us at the tunnels which accentuated the tour quite a bit. We also added the gun range to close off the tour which was quite invigorating. Thanks for making our trip very memorable, Thien!"

Great day at tge Cu Chi tunnels
"Thien is really an amazing guide! She has an incredible energy, she has so much knowledge about Vietnam history and culture and we loved her honesty, her perspective, her kindness and her jokes. She entertained us for the trip to the CuChi tunnels but also let us take a nap and her driver was amazing! We loved the fact that she took so much care to protect us in the tunnels and make us feel safe while explaining the history to us. We loved the relationship she has established with the locals and the kindness and respect she gets in return.
Really recommend doing any tour with Thien! "

Great Cu Chi Tunnel Tour
"It was a great tour with Jecki. He brought the tunnels and the events of that time very vividly to life for us. Jecki is a wonderful guide—friendly and attentive. He is full of knowledge and stories that make the terrible time of the war tangible and deeply moving.
By the way: Jecki is also a great photographer. Let him show you his photos—they’ll make you want to explore Vietnam even more."

Engaging and informative
"We had a great experience at the Cu chi tunnels with Thien. Thien was incredibly knowledgeable, gave us (including two kids) a very engaging and accessible overview of Vietnam history and the tunnels. We had lots of space (no other tourists in the tunnels) and were able to tour the sites at our leisure. Highly recommended."

Inga about Thien
"We had a fantastic experience with Thien as our guide on the Cu Chi tunnels tour. She took me and my two teenagers to the original, much less crowded Ben Duoc site, which made the visit feel more authentic. Exploring the tunnels and learning about the underground history was fascinating for all of us. What makes Thien special is her deep knowledge. She has master degree in politics, and her insights into Vietnam's history, war and political context were incredibly interesting."

Perfect day out at Chu Chi
"Huyen was punctual on the day of our tour and she rocked up in a very big, comfortable and clean Kia MPV. The journey was very pleasant in the MPV and she regaled us with the history of Vietnam along the 2.5hours road trip. The driver was excellent and drove safely.
She even stopped at a market so we could buy some local fruits.
She took us to a less busy tunnel site and it was an experience crawling through the tunnels, especially the 50m one. We finished off with drinks and local tapioca for snacks.
Besides the day trip, she also recommended some very good Vietnamese restaurants to us, especially Hoa Tuc and Cuc Gach.
I would highly recommend Huyen for the tunnels day trip."
