    Amazing trip to Vietnam planned and executed by Little Vietnam tours

    Vicky, Kevin and the entire Little Vietnam tours team did an amazing job at organizing our two week, completely guided and private tour across all of Vietnam. Starting in Ho Chi Minh City and going to Hoi Ann, and then Hanoi and Sapa as well as Ha Long Bay the team organized an amazing trip. The entire process was seamless, and they accepted our input and incorporated it into the entire itinerary. They were extremely responsive and would come back with revisions overnight, which met our needs to a T. Included in the tour were private guides and private transportation flights within Vietnam and all the tours and hotels along the way. The tour guides knew their stuff, were always there waiting for us and were extremely personable and engaging. It was a first class experience and an amazing time. I would highly recommend Vicky and the entire team for all of your Vietnam needs.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Aaron for your wonderful review and photos!

    Dream come true

    We actually arranged our private tour of four with the help of Vicky, we told her what we wanted and she suggested a few places of interest too and she organised the itinerary. The hotels she chose were all amazing, the guides were always on time with pick ups and knowledgeable. The drivers were experienced. Vicky organised all the internal flights and we had no problems at all. We arrived in Ho Chi Minh for 4 nights then flew to Danang - Hoi An for 3 nights then we flew to Hanoi city for another 3 nights we then had a Overnight on a boat at Ha long Bay, back to Hanoi to get ready for our return flight home. Brilliant would highly recommend - 5 Stars

    Tour Vietnam with the best - Little Vietnam Tours

    I have been to Vietnam 6 times and my last trip organised by Little Vietnam Tours was by far the best. Everything worked like clockwork, excellent itinerary, excellent guides who went out of their way to arrange additional sights. Accomodation although generally 3.5 star was much more than I expected, friendly, helpfull staff and and first class meals. The overnight trip to Halong Bay was as good as it gets. My special thanks to the tour organiser Vicky.

    Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.

    How much does Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels cost?

    +

    Prices start at $125 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 Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels?

    +

    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 Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels?

    +

    Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels 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.
