Review of the $19.70 Cu Chi Tunnels half-day tour from Ho Chi Minh City, with transport, guide, entrance fee, cassava, and optional shooting.

“Great tour to see the Cu Chí Tunnels. The guide was friendly and informative. Great price on the tour and is perfect duration for a day trip (approximate departure of 8am and return around 2pm in HCM). Take this trip if you want to skip the river portion the other tours do. Try going into the Tunnels. It's quite the experience.”

Review of the $40 Cu Chi Tunnels half-day tour from Ho Chi Minh City, with hotel pickup, small groups, history, tunnels, traps, and optional shooting.

“Everyone says the tunnels are a must see, but there is no timed entry and there are MANY big groups of people at the site. They stop on the middle of the walkway to tell their stories and it creates a big jam. They suggest 4 hours for this trip, but I was done in 2! The one saving grace was our tour guide. He is a vet of the Vietnam war and was very interesting to listen to in the drive over.”

Other bonus is the AC car to take you from place to place (the reprieve from the relentless heat allowed us to enjoy the sites more while we were there). Our guide, Duc, was fantastic. Super knowledgeable and great photographer.”
