What to expect
Make the most of your trip to Ho Chi Minh City with a full day tour that allows you to discover the best of the city, and takes you to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, the very same tunnels that played an integral part in the Vietnam-American war. Choose from three different tours depending on whether you want a pick up service, or how big you want your tour group size to be. On the day of your tour, start the day early with a pick up from your hotel or by meeting up with the rest of the tour group. The first leg of your tour will be the city tour. Visit some of the most popular sites, including the Reunification Palace, a top choice for travelers who are looking to dig up some of Vietnam's history. Next up: Notre Dame Cathedral, which was established by French colonists in the 1860s. Famous for its beautiful French-inspired architecture, and towering bell towers that reach 190 feet, it's truly a sight to behold. Afterwards, you'll be taken to the Central Post Office, then the War Remnants Museum for a more in-depth look at the history and culture of Vietnam. From there, you'll take a 2.5 hour drive all the way to Cu Chi Tunnels. Crawl through the tight tunnels, walk around the subterranean village built by the Viet Cong and learn more about the Vietnam-American war. Before you head back to the city, indulge in some delicious snacks - a fantastic way to end a fulfilling and busy day.

Dan was the best! I don’t usually enjoy history tours because they can be boring, but Dan was so informative and entertaining. I felt like it wasn’t just a history lesson, but also a personal retelling of the impact of time and how everything still affects the current state. Absolute best tour guide around!
We had a meaningful and well-organized tour of Ho Chi Minh City and the Cu Chi Tunnels with our guide, Patrick. He shared not just facts but also stories that gave us a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s history, especially the difficult years of the Vietnam War. Although the Independence Palace was closed during our visit, Patrick and his team quickly adjusted and brought us to the Ho Chi Minh Museum instead. I strongly recommend including the Cu Chi Tunnels in this tour, it’s an eye-opening experience to see where Vietnamese people hid underground to survive and it gives you a deeper appreciation of resilience and life itself. Only small room for improvement: the serving time of lunch at the local restaurant was a bit long. But overall, everything was well worth it. Just be ready. Some stories of the war can be heartbreaking, but they will leave you with respect, admiration, and gratitude for the Vietnamese people and their strength.
It was an eventful day. Dan, our tour guide, was so energetic and positive. We love how he presented facts about Ho Chi Minh city and its history. This is a must tour in HCM. Everyone should book this!
such an amazing experience. the war museum was full of great information and lots of heavy emotions. my tour guide Tom was great with answering any questions I had. the visit to the Post office was super short. and the cathedral is shut done for construction. the cu chi tunnels were fun as we got to explore and learn a lot about underground living and traps. PRO TIP: I think I would opt out of the city tour since it’s easy to go on my own. focus only on cu chi tunnel tour as the journey to get there takes two hours !!
Our guide Lily was so knowledgeable and kind. Our daughter wanted her to be our guide daily :) I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to see the best of HCMC in a day. Fully recommended!
tour guide and overall experience was great. i just feel like at the Cu Chi channels we could have finished earlier so we can also be back in the city earlier. I felt that we don't need that much time there and it could be a bit shorter without missing out on the experience
Heidi was a great guide. She explained everything really well. The lunch served was also very good. The visits to each of the destinations were very smooth. Starting from the war remnants museum and ending with the cuchi tunnels everything was great! I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.
very good experience if you want to visit whole city in just one day then this tour is for you. The tour guide was very friendly and speaks English very well. They have also the option for vegetarian people for the lunch during tour. The transport vehicle was also very comfortable. The tour guide give us information about all the history and things we have visited. 100% recommended.
The city tour was a bit short with only 4 sites but Nicky, our tour guide made it up by telling us the history of each site. Everytime we have questions to her outside the tour sites, she still answered us. The Cuchi Tunnels tour was fantastic even with the rain. The choice of restaurant was also amazing with delicious vietnamese food.
Our HCM city tour and Cu chi tunnel is very good and amazing. I would like to commend our tour guide, Abe/Abraham as he is very knowledgeable with the tour especially in Cu Chi Tunnel. All the questions were answered and he’s very accommodating. Timing is just right and with this tour, you will be able to go to beautiful places in Ho Chi Minh and learned a lot especially about Vietnam war. We enjoyed this trip. Thank you!
