Full description

This is a 6-hour experience from Ho Chi Minh City, built around Cu Chi Tunnels. 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 Air-conditioned private car, Pick-up and drop off at hotels centrally located in, Mineral water and wet tissue, guide and Entrance fees. It does not cover Travel insurance, Personal expenses, Tips for guide and driver and Pick-up and transfer outside District 1, 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.

Hotel pickup in Ho Chi Minh City. TNK TRAVEL CO., LTD confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. 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.

Sunny onze gids was super, haar kennis was goed. Laatste stop was voor ons niet nodig… was niet echt een meerwaarde.

Naomi war unglaublich witzig. Wir haben uns total amüsiert. Das war die beste Tour bisher! Transport war top! Alles pünktlich und leicht zu finden. Die Tour selbst war sehr interessant! Macht schon n unterschied sich das zu zweit zu geben. Keine Riesen Gruppen, wo man nichts versteht, sondern nur uns. Das war wirklich schön. Als Deutscher ist demnach die beste Wertung: „Da kann man nicht meckern!“ Nee natürlich war es unvergesslich gut! Sehr zu empfehlen! 11/10

Sehr interessanter Ausflug zu den Cu Chi Tunnel. Unser weiblicher Guide hat uns mit vielen Informationen zu der riesigen Tunnelanlage und der dort lebenden Bevölkerung versorgt. Das Highlight ist sich durch einen der extrem schmalen Tunneleingänge zu zwängen und gemeinsam mit einem lokalen Guide durch die Tunnel zu “robben”. Wenn man die “lange” Strecke wählt, ist selbst für Trainierte der Muskelkater in den Oberschenkel vorprogrammiert :-)

Wir wurden pünktlich in einem kleinen SUV abgeholt. Der guide konnte sehr gut englisch und hat uns die Geschichte des Krieges sehr gut dargestellt und nahe gebracht . Ein kleiner Zwischenstopp in einer Fabrik wo “Handicap-Nachkriegsopfer „arbeiten und ihre Ware zum Verkauf anbieten Die Cu Chi Tunnel und das Tunnelsystem waren interessant und wir sind sogar 20 Meter dadurchgegangen . Auf jeden Fall ein „Muß“ ! Wir sind nach ca 5 Stunden wieder im Hotel ,was sehr praktisch war,da wir an dem Tag abends nach Hause geflogen sind ! Ich würde immer wieder über diesen Anbieter buchen !
