Cu Chin Tunnels
Throughly enjoyed our day, very informative. Our guide Jan and his fri et were an absolute delight, very friendly and chatty. It was the first time having a private trip with a guide, would do it again, well worth the extra
Response from the operator: Dear S5673TBlorraineh, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your day and found the tour informative. Jan will be very happy to know that you appreciated his friendliness and enthusiasm — we will definitely share your kind words with him. It’s also wonderful to hear that your first private tour experience was such a positive one and worth it. That truly means a lot to us! We hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in Vietnam in the future. Best regards, An Tan Travel Team 🌿

CU CHI TUNNEL TOUR WITH AN TAN TRAVEL COMPANY
This company came highly recommended we read many excellent reviews. so, we booked a private cu chi tunnel tour and it was awesome. We enjoy the tour immensely

Cu chi tunnels - private tour
Good trip to Cu Chi tunnels with family of four and children 8 and 11. We went in private car. More expensive but worth the money. Flexible timing avoids the crowd and less queues as our group was only us. Considered going with Grab on ourselves (without guide), which is about 60 % cheaper, but it was (actually) really worth the money to have private guide (who was also really good).

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From HCM Cty Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour AM/PM Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does From HCM Cty Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour AM/PM Option cost?
+
Prices start at $13 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 From HCM Cty Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour AM/PM Option take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 From HCM Cty Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour AM/PM Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 From HCM Cty Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour AM/PM Option?
+
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 From HCM Cty Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour AM/PM Option suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From HCM Cty Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour AM/PM Option?
+
Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From HCM Cty Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour AM/PM Option start and how do I get there?
+

+
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 Cai Be Mekong Delta Tour: Cooking Class, Cycling & Craft Villages, Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta 1 Day Tour With Small Group. 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.
