Uncover the best of Cu Chi Tunnels the local Way

"We’ve done quite some Withlocals tours, and - no offense to the other guides - Thien was the best guide we’ve ever had! She is amazing and the tour was great. We didn’t go to the standard tunnels but she brought us to the less known and less touristic part of Cu Chi. One word: amazing!"

"I booked my tour to CuChi Tunnels with Huyen and it was a great experience. Huyen filled the two hour trip from Saigon with loads of history specific to the site, as well and pointing out little details of surroundings along the way. On the trip back we even got a cafe sua da for refreshment. Huyens smile on her profile paints the perfect picture of her cheerful personality, as well as her kind and thoughtful vibe. I highly recommend booking a tour with her. I will surely be booking her for another fact filled fun tour with her during my next trip to Saigon!! Thanks Huyen!!!"

"I was scheduled to do the tunnel tours with Ted. I messaged him the night before asking how much walking was involved. I told him I was sick and only recently was able to hold down food after three days of not eating. He was very concerned and pushed me to go to a clinic. He went with me and talked to the doctor. The doctor kept me overnight in the hospital after seeing my numbers. I was told that if I waited I would have had to stay for a week in the hospital. Ted saved me a lot of pain and agony. "

"Cảm ơn Huyen và Sống, I had a great day with Huyen and she was able to be friendly and insightful about the history of Saigon and Cu Chi, Huyen was thoughtful and helpful with understanding the intricacies of the history of Saigon. Highly recommend Huyen "

"Huyen was an outstanding guide. She was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were part of her community from the very beginning. She shared fascinating insights about Vietnamese culture, traditions, and values, while also taking a genuine interest in learning about our own cultures and beliefs. Our conversations were meaningful, and she always listened with respect and an open mind. We even discussed sensitive topics such as war. As someone from the United States and with Huyen being from Vietnam, I truly appreciated how she approached these conversations with honesty, empathy, and mutual respect. It made the experience even more memorable and meaningful. I highly recommend Huyen to anyone looking for an authentic and engaging tour. I would absolutely choose another tour with her in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!"

"Thien was full of positive energy and very interesting information. She had special access and really showed us an intimate view of Cu Chi tunnels. She was funny, full of energy and had lots of facts to tell us. It was a great experience for me and my kids. We were so lucky to have her as our tour guide with all her special access and knowledge. I highly recommend. "

"Huyen is an incredibly engaging guide. She asks thought provoking questions as well as providing excellent knowledge and insight. Our family of 5 had the perfect day with her"

"This is a great tour with a private driver and guide making the tour very easy - particularly in the heat of Ho Chi Minh. Jecky was entertaining, informative and made sure we saw all the key features of the tunnels. Throughout the tour Jecky shared stories and anecdotes with us making the trip enjoyable for us and young teenage kids."

"I had the pleasure of having Thien as my guide during my time in Saigon, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her knowledge of Vietnamese history — particularly the Vietnam War era — is exceptional. She walked me through the historical context with real depth, covering everything from the political backdrop to the events on the ground, and she was happy to dig into the more complex and contested parts of the history. What set Thien apart was her ability to make the history come alive. She answered every question thoughtfully and clearly genuinely cares about sharing her country’s story with visitors. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious to learn, you’ll come away with a much deeper understanding of Vietnam thanks to her. If you’re visiting Saigon and want a guide who is knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about what she does, book Thien. You won’t regret it."
