Full description
This is a 7-hour experience from Ho Chi Minh City, built around Speedboat and Cu Chi Tunnels. It is run by KIM TRAVEL, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.
Pickup is offered from Ho Chi Minh City and District 3; the exact spot and time are agreed with KIM TRAVEL once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.
The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off in the center of Districts 1, 3, Luxury speedboat 2 ways, Tourist bus with air-conditioning, guide and Vietnamese lunch set menu. It does not cover Personal expenses, Additional beverages and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Traveler Reviews
Due to unforeseen circumstances we weren’t able to go to the tunnels on the speedboat due to the river being closed off to tourist boats. We were advised of this the night before and Kim travel re-arranged our transportation professionally and with so much kindness. We were picked up in a private vehicle by our driver and guide Nhu. Nhu was very knowledgeable and was a great companion to have during the day. The driver was friendly and showed so much patience especially setting the scene for a relaxing drive both there and back. Nhu is the sweetest lady who took excellent care of us throughout
Great tour. Kai was very knowledgeable and took his time to explain each part of the tour. The pacing was perfect for a family.
Thanh was a lovely, funny and very knowledgeable guide! We loved this tour
Thanh was an excellent guide and made our trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels very informative and fun. We loved the boat ride. Very happy thank you Thanh!
Tan was very helpful and easy to understand. Good knowledge of Vietnam history and nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend this tour to everyone.
We had a great trip to Cu Chi Tunnels guided by Tim. He was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Finished with a nice meal too. Would highly recommend
The trip was great! Our guide was excellent and it was fantastic to arrive by boat rather than having to deal with the Saigon traffic. Thoroughly recommend.
A ver interesting and informative day with Tranh. The tunnels and artillery sound was confronting, and Tranh was able to explain and answer questions really well. It was wonderful to travel via boat and see the changing river scenery. Highly recommended
This tour was brilliant and Ten was a fantastic guide. Personable, knowledgeable and great humour. His recount of his father in the war was a great touch to the tour. Thanks again Ten!
It was a great trip, Thanh was a great tour guide and guided us well thru the tunnels area and provided first hand information that is truly unique to the history of the area. The boat road was a great way to enjoy the views and get to the tunnels, would recommend.
Really enjoyed the day trip. Thanh was very informative and helpful
Kai was super helpful and informative - couldn’t have asked for a better guide! :) Speed boat was super fun and was super interesting learning about the tunnels and the guerrilla efforts.
