Amazing and we enjoyed so much
We had an amazing experience on this tour with Saigon Adventures! Our guide Sony was absolutely amazing and we will definitely be back for anothet
via Tripadvisor
Highly recommend the tour
My family really enjoyed our private tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels and Black Virgin Mountain. Our guide Daisy was absolutely fantastic and really made the tour, it was a long day, but Daisy kept it both fun and very informative. Seeing and experiencing a part of the Cu Chi tunnels in person was eye-opening, and the Black Virgin Mountain is a beautiful and very impressive sight to visit. We were all really glad we went, it was the highlight of our trip, thank you Daisy!

Half day Tour
Must say I am thrilled my their service and co-operation. I got the number from Google after a long shot as I tried reaching others but most them were either demanding high money and one also tried to scam me saying they need full payment through bank transfer as their office is not in Ho chi Minh City. But finally got in touch with Saigon Adventure amazing service best guide ever ...will recommend all.

Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour By Car | Saigon Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour By Car | Saigon Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $32 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 Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour By Car | Saigon Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour By Car | Saigon Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 551 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour By Car | Saigon Adventure?
+
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 Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour By Car | Saigon Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour By Car | Saigon Adventure?
+
Around 193 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour By Car | Saigon Adventure 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 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.
