Cu Chi Tunnels
The tunnels of Củ Chi (Vietnamese: Địa đạo Củ Chi) are an immense network of connecting tunnels located in the Củ Chi District of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam, and are part of a much larger network of tunnels that underlie much of the country. The Củ Chi tunnels were the location of several military campaigns during the Vietnam War, and were the Viet Cong's base of operations for the Tết Offensive in 1968.

Black Virgin Mountain
Black Virgin Mountain (Vietnamese: Núi Bà Đen meaning "Black Lady Mountain") is a mountain in Tây Ninh City, Vietnam. The mountain is the center of a Vietnamese myth about Bà Đen. During the Vietnam War the area around the mountain was a hot zone as the Ho Chi Minh Trail ended a few kilometers west across the Cambodian border. As such there were many battles and American and Vietnamese soldiers based in the region remember the prominent landmark.[1] After the war the mountain turned from a battleground to being famous for its beautiful temples and theme park.

Amazing day out with Casey (our tour guide)
We had such an incredible day with our tour guide Casey! From start to finish, everything was well organised and enjoyable. We visited the Chu Chi Tunnels, the Cao Dai Holy Temple, and Black Lady Mountain—all of which were fantastic experiences and definitely worth seeing. Casey was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole day run smoothly. That said, Black Lady Mountain was absolutely the highlight. It was truly breathtaking—you could easily spend an entire day there. The views are incredible and there are so many amazing photo opportunities! Thank you so much, Casey, for such a memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam!

Amazing tour with Khang – highly recommend!
Our visit to Black Virgin Mountain and the Cu Chi Tunnels was an absolute highlight of our time in Ho Chi Minh City, thanks to our guide Khang. He was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the day. Khang gave a very informative and engaging history lesson on the war at the Cu Chi Tunnels, explaining everything clearly and answering all our questions with patience. At Black Virgin Mountain, he shared valuable cultural and historical insights that made the experience much more meaningful. The tour was well organized, relaxed, and never felt rushed. Khang’s passion for Vietnam’s history really stood out, and it made the entire day unforgettable. I would 100% recommend this tour—and especially Khang—to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City.

Tour with Khang to Cu Chi Tunnels and Black Virgin Mountain
Absolutely outstanding tour guide! Our trip to Black Virgin Mountain and the Cu Chi Tunnels was one of the highlights of our time in Ho Chi Minh City, and that was entirely thanks to Khang. From the very beginning, he was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. At Black Virgin Mountain, Khang explained the cultural and spiritual significance with great clarity and respect, which made the visit far more meaningful than just sightseeing. At the Cu Chi Tunnels, Khang’s in-depth and informative history lesson on the war truly brought the site to life. He explained complex events in a clear, engaging way, answered every question thoughtfully, and made sure everyone understood the historical context. The tour was extremely well organized, never felt rushed, and was delivered with genuine passion for Vietnam’s history and culture. I would highly recommend Khang to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City—he is an exceptional guide and made this experience truly unforgettable.

Private tour with Khang, 3/1/3026
We had an amazing experience with Khang as our tour guide on our visit to the Vietnamese tunnels outside of Ho Chi Minh City. Khang was outstanding—knowledgeable and informative throughout the entire tour. He also took us to a fantastic lunch, making the day even more enjoyable. Overall, Khang is not only a great guide but also a wonderful person who truly loves what he does. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Black Virgin Mountain, Cao Dai Temple, Cu Chi Tunnel Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Black Virgin Mountain, Cao Dai Temple, Cu Chi Tunnel Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $2 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Black Virgin Mountain, Cao Dai Temple, Cu Chi Tunnel Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is Black Virgin Mountain, Cao Dai Temple, Cu Chi Tunnel Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Black Virgin Mountain, Cao Dai Temple, Cu Chi Tunnel Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Black Virgin Mountain, Cao Dai Temple, Cu Chi Tunnel Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Black Virgin Mountain, Cao Dai Temple, Cu Chi Tunnel Private Tour?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Black Virgin Mountain, Cao Dai Temple, Cu Chi Tunnel Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
