A decent beach and...
A decent beach and country side trip from Ho Chi Minh City. Jesus statue hike has great views. Vong Thau city and beach has great views. The guide (Haha) is super friendly, fluent in English and knowledgeable about the place. The beach had great views but not swimming friendly. I was looking to swim on a hot and humid day.

Cobra wine, lot of fruits, Cu Chi tunnel experience, Boat & Kayaking ride -- Very different & interesting experience.
Excellent tour for total 12 hrs -- Cu chi tunnel & Makong delta. Vin was very energetic, lovable & had a good knowledge on the Vietnam history. Good English & way of explaining. Had an answer for all questions.

A great day trip to see the monuments and historical buildings of Ho Chi Minh City
A great tour with our tour guide - Julia. thank you Julia for making this tour so memorable. We loved your knowledge of Vietnam’s history and enjoyed the visit to the Independence Palace and the Chinese Pagoda/temple that is more than 250 years old. The post office was amazing too! An awesome day trip! Don’t forget to bring your own water.

Vung Tau Shared Group Tour
We had an excellent time during our trip to Vung Tau. Firstly, our tour guide Alice was exceptional and her knowledge of Vietnamese history was second to none. We adored the time we had at the beach where we got to swim in the sea and enjoy some local culture. After this we were taken for some exceptional seafood which was a highlights of an already excellent trip. Following this, we were taken to the White Palace and the Jesus statue, both of which were expertly explained by Alice. One word of warning make sure you wear long trousers for the Jesus statue as due to its religious nature they will not allow you up the mountain if you are wearing too short shorts. We finished the trip with a short visit to the fisherman’s temple which holds 18 meter whalebones. I would recommend this trip to anyone especially if it is being led by Alice.

Nice short tour of 1 day.
We had a transit time for our next fly and booked the extra 7 hours tour to visit Cu Chi tunnel and a quick tour to see Ho Chi Minh city. Our guide was June, she was very nice and had a great knowledge about the war and the city. We learnt a lot from her and would recommend her service to everybody.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Tours: 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 Full Day Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Full Day Tours 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 Full Day Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 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 Full Day Tours?
+
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 Full Day Tours 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 Full Day Tours?
+
Around 4 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 Full Day Tours 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.
