A private tour is a little bit out of your budget? You can book our Daily Cu Chi Tunnel Group Tour (Half-day) for a small group tour with 29 USD/ person.

COMPARED TO A $19 CU CHI TOUR
Our tour guide will arrive at your hotel to pick you up in a private air-conditioned car. We will head to the countryside of Ho Chi Minh City and start our Cu Chi Tunnel Tour. Please note that there may be a little bit extra charge if your hotel is not in District 1 or District 3.
After about one hour of driving through the countryside of Cu Chi, we will visit one family in the Rice Paper Village. Here you can observe the local life of the villagers, watch the crafting of the ricer papers, and even try the work on your own. We will taste some fresh rice papers, which is much more delicious than the ones you can find in the supermarkets.
As we mentioned in our blog Exploring Vietnam’s Cu Chi Tunnels: Why Ben Duoc Is Much Better Than Ben Dinh, this private is about to take you to Ben Duoc, which is much farther away from the city center than Ben Dinh but provides a much better experience of Cu Chi Tunnel Tour. From the Rice Paper Village, it will take us about 30 minutes to drive to Ben Duoc.
Watch a brief video of the war and what happened in Cu Chi. You don’t need to stay in the video area for too long. After that, our tour guide will show you the booby traps that VC used in the war against their enemies.
Experiencing the crawling of Cu Chi Tunnels. There will be different lengths for you to try. Please note that if you have health problems (especially heart, lung, or bone), you should not join these activities although it is the main part of Cu Chi Tunnels.
Tapioca – the main source of food in the war which VC soldiers used to survive the shortage of food. This tasting part is for you to experience the food in war time, so it surely won’t be that good as Banh mi or Pho,…
After the tour, you can experience shooting guns like AK47, M16,… at the shooting range of Cu Chi Tunnels.
Please note these things:
After a great half-day Cu Chi Tunnel Tour, we will return to your hotel (arrival at 12:00 – 13:00 depending on the traffic). Although we don’t include lunch as it is a half-day tour, we can stop at a Vietnamese restaurant for you to have lunch.
We can, but we don’t think we will. Lowering the price may get you to book our tour more easily, but we will have to lie for some hidden costs or take you to much more touristy places, or to some shopping tourist traps so that we can compensate our profit.
We would rather provide a higher price Cu Chi Tunnel tour with premium quality, which includes:
In case it is out of your budget, we can always check out our small group tour here:
