Poignant and well worth a visit
A poignant visit where the ‘other side ‘ of the war is explained in photos within the museum. You don’t need the audio guide as it’s also in English. Explaining ‘agent orange’ and its lasting effects was quite disturbing but to know the story u have to go. Some great abandoned US equipment on display
via Tripadvisor
Absolutely a must
A powerful reminder of the Vietnam war well preserved equipment and good display’s easily accessible just near independence palace we just went up to the electronic ticket machine and payed by card very easy and avoided queue
via Tripadvisor
Fascinating
Absolutely fascinating and very upsetting too. Although I had read about the war and watched many films seeing it first hand made it so real. Parts of it were very shocking and upsetting but we need to know what really went on. Definitely worth a visit.
via Tripadvisor
Great museum, lots of US military hardware, interesting displays. Nice café on site. The museum is open during Tet.
Lots of great US military hardware, interesting to see it from the other perspective, i’ve run quite a bit about the Vietnam more, but always from the US perspective
via Tripadvisor
Good but also very one sided
A great experience to see both the war remnants museum and the cu chi tunnels. Really good displays with lots of things to learn! The only downside to these exhibits is that they deliberately only tell the story of the north-vietnamese or “patriots” as they call them. The museums show nothing of the suffering of the south. Also the war remnants museum pretty much only shows american-equipment and weapons.

War Remnants Museum - City and Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does War Remnants Museum - City and Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 War Remnants Museum - City and Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tours take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 War Remnants Museum - City and Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 195 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 War Remnants Museum - City and Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tours?
+
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 War Remnants Museum - City and Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book War Remnants Museum - City and Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tours?
+
Around 68 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does War Remnants Museum - City and Cu Chi Tunnels 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 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 languages is War Remnants Museum - City and Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tours offered in?
+
