About this tour
Skip the group-tour circuit and explore Cu Chi Tunnels and central Ho Chi Minh City with a private guide over ten hours. You'll crawl through the famous tunnel network that defined the war, then swing through the city's defining landmarks—Reunification Palace, Notre Dame, the Post Office, and War Remnants Museum. Your driver collects you from your hotel, handles all entry fees, feeds you properly, and delivers you back without the minibus shuffle.

What to expect
You'll start with hotel pickup, then head to Cu Chi Tunnels about an hour outside the city. Your guide walks you through the tunnel layout, explains the engineering and daily life underground during the war, then you go down into the passages themselves—they're narrow and low, so wear sturdy shoes and prepare to crouch. After Cu Chi, you'll return to Ho Chi Minh City and visit four major sites: the Reunification Palace (political hub), Notre Dame Cathedral, the General Post Office, and the War Remnants Museum, which is direct and sometimes confronting. Lunch happens mid-day at a local restaurant. The pace is steady but not rushed.
Good to know
The tunnels are tight and humid; claustrophobia can be an issue. Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. All sites have steps and uneven ground. Tips aren't required but appreciated. The tour runs ten hours total, including travel time.
