Very interesting and historical. The tunnels are tight for an average American male, but we did them. Had fun shooting AK47. Great lunch. The boat ride was nice and cool and a lot of things to look at.

Mr Chi was great at showing us around the tunnels. We got there so much faster than the buses so beat the rush. We had plenty of time to go through the history, shoot the guns and a delicious lunch afterwards. Definitely recommend this experience!!

Beat the crowds while travelling by speedboat. Great to experience the history and shooting an AK-47 is a must do.

The only way to go unless you enjoy being on a bus for 6-hours return trip. Trang our guide was excellent - very informative and engaging - a great host. The boat had us back by around 2.30pm without having to rush the visit to the tunnels, giving us an afternoon back in the city - perfect!

Great way to beat the crowds to the site of the tunnels. Great hosts. Great communication before and throughout the event. The tunnels were very interesting and the guide had a humorous approach to a delicate history.
