Seniors group trip to Vietnam
We traveled with Asian way Travel and found them very helpful and addressed our concerns to the best they could do. The guides were very entertaining and caring though they have different accent for English language but still were able to communicate with us quite well. Mr Nhat was always available for any help. A special mention of the most entertaining and energetic lady guide in Hanoi Thuy Lan (Mrs Anna) , she kept us in humour all the way on tour. Thanks again to Asian way Travel staff.

Chu Chi war tunnels tour - 17.12.2019
Tour guide of Asianway Travel picked up us from the hotel. Asianway travel sent a luxury bus. He provided us a cooled drinking water bottle. It took nearly 2 hours to go to chu chi war tunnels. On the way our tour guide showed us a film about war tunnels. So we were able to get details related to tunnels before the tour..After arriving at the chu chi tunnel our guide helped us in buying the tickets. He was so friendly and always warmly helped us. Then we were able to explore the tunnels. Our tour guide from Asianway travel always explained the important facts related to the tunnel. It was a great experience! Then we were taken to a restaurant for lunch. Food was amazing! Then our tour guide dropped us at the hotel safely..I can honestly say that I was able to visit war tunnels and return safely to the hotel because me and my group chose Asianway travel as our tour agent. They always give an exceptional service to the customers. So I can say for sure if you are traveling to Ho Chi Minh city you must select Asianway Travel as your tour agent!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private tour to Cu Chi and HCMC 1 day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Private tour to Cu Chi and HCMC 1 day cost?
+
Prices start at $68 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 tour to Cu Chi and HCMC 1 day 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 tour to Cu Chi and HCMC 1 day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private tour to Cu Chi and HCMC 1 day?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private tour to Cu Chi and HCMC 1 day 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 tour to Cu Chi and HCMC 1 day?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private tour to Cu Chi and HCMC 1 day 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.
