Full description

This is a 6-hour experience from Ho Chi Minh City, built around Cu Chi Tunnel Ben Duoc. It is run by TNK TRAVEL CO., LTD, 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.

The price covers Transportation by air-conditioned van, guide, Entrance fee, Mineral water and To include lunch after your tour. It does not cover Travel insurance, Tips and personal expenses and Other services not mentioned, 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.

TNK TRAVEL CO., LTD sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with TNK TRAVEL CO., LTD before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Wir wurden im Vorfeld mehrmals darauf hingewiesen, bereits um 7.40 Uhr am Treffpunkt zu sein. Wer zu spät kommt, fährt nicht mit. Letztendlich kamen der Bus und der Guide erst um 8.15 Uhr an. Das hat uns alle sehr geärgert. 1000 Entschuldigungen, warum sie nicht pünktlich waren. Interessiert mich nicht. Wir mussten alle früh aufstehen, für nichts. Auch die Frau mit der Namensliste vor Ort war nie da und hat uns über nichts informiert. Schlechte Organisation!

Gut organisierte Tour und ein freundlicher und der gut informierter Tourguide Min haben einen sehr schönen Halbtagesausflug entstehen lassen. Die Tunnel waren sehr interessant, für einen relativ großen Mitteleuropäer aber sehr herausfordernd. Alles bestens, auch wenn der kleine Abstecher zum Schießstand nicht hätte sein müssen meiner Meinung nach. Für den Preis bekommt man definitiv eine sehr gute Leistung

Una experiencia perfecta. Nuestra guía Vi hizo que el viaje fuese ameno, respondió a todas nuestras preguntas y nos ayudó con los túneles. Todo en hora, muy atentos, buen conductor, una van espaciosa, recogiéndonos y dejándonos en el hostel. Salió genial
