Outstanding experience delivered with Passion and love ❤️
Our Tour guid Grayson is truley an exceptionally well mannered, professional and knowledgeable young man. He is a very passionate gentleman and has given us a unique insight into the true culture and history of his beloved country. The tour length was perfect for us with our busy schedule.

It is exceptional value for money and I would highly recommend using the team for your excursions. Thank you Ben, Grayson & Hai for unforgettable experience ❤️🇻🇳❤️

Excellent guide
Lily was our guide and our tour was called Cu Chi & Mekong Delta full day tour. Lily was very knowledgeable about the Cu Chi tunnels and the history of Vietnam. Her explanations of the different periods made a long journey seem shorter. Unfortunately due to severe storms in the area of the Delta we were unable to complete our excursion. As the boats were stopped due to extreme weather. Luckily we had Lily as a guide and she made a disappointing afternoon tolerable.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry the severe weather interrupted your Mekong Delta excursion, but we’re glad Lily helped make the day enjoyable despite the disappointment. We’ll share your kind words with her, and our whole team truly appreciates your understanding and support. Best regards, Saigon Taste Tours Team!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at ₫1,511,040 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 VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour 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 Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 20 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 Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour?
+
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 VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour 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 Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour?
+
Around 7 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 Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour 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.
What is included in Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour?
+
Included: Friendly and professional tour guide; Transportation by air-conditioned car/minivan; Pick up and drop off at the center of Saigon; Bottled water; and Snacks. Not included: Your Personal Expense; Tips and personal expenses; and Other meals not mentioned in itinerary. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 201 listed pickup locations in and around Ho Chi Minh City. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
