About this experience
Experience the world of the Cu Chi freedom fighters with a visit to their famous tunnel system. This network of over 200 km of tunnels became legendary during the 1960's when they played a vital part in the American War, allowing the Viet Cong to control a large rural area close to Ho Chi Minh City. In their heyday, the tunnels were functioning underground cities.

The cue to Vietnam with lots of clues
The purpose of any visit is to experience the history of that place. Going to Vietnam without visiting the, US resistance and the valor exhibited by the locals it is not a visit at all Amazing grit and endurance to visit The guide was so impressed with detail and friendly help

Our trip was organised by Vietnam Tours Saigon & was over 1 1/2 days. First half day we covered the landmarks of HCMC (Saigon).2nd day we covered the Cu Chi tunnels & War Remnant Museum. Our guide was Kheng.We have travelled extensively in many Asian countries.We consider him to be the best.He is very knowledgeable, punctual, gave us time to enjoy the tourist places & took beautiful photos on our mobiles. The driver whose name I cannot recall was punctual, polite & drove safely

Excellent Service
My wife and I used Vietnam Private Transfers (VPT) for a private guided tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels and for a pick up from HCM City airport to our hotel (Mia Saigon, which is excellent - see my review). Katie, at VPT was extremely helpful and was always willing and able to answer the many questions I had when planning our trip. The Cu Chi Tunnels trip was very enjoyable and our guide (Huynh Dung) was excellent, knowledgeable and paced the tour well). The driver was very careful and made for a relaxing ride. Would definitely use VPT again.

Great customer service ever.
I booked a group tour to visit Cu Chi tunnel and City for our last day in Saigon. Lily approached me promptly and upgraded our tour to private tour with very little surcharge. She arranged an excellent tour guide for us and there was nothing to complaint about the services. The foods in Cu Chi tunnel was amazing and delicious.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $78 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 Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Trip?
+
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 Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Trip?
+
Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Trip 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.
