Full description
This is a 8.5-hour experience in Ho Chi Minh City, built around Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City. It is run by Joy_Journeys, 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 vehicle, Lunch - Pho, 02 bottles of water per guest, Snacks and All Fees and Taxes. It does not cover Anything not mentioned above and Gratuity - 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.
District 4. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Joy_Journeys before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We had an absolutely amazing day with our guide, Kero, during our trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels. From the moment we got into the bus, he made the journey interesting and enjoyable. Along the way, he shared a lot of information about Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels and the history of Vietnam. He also showed us several videos, which really helped us understand everything even better. Our first stop was a local handicraft workshop, where we learned how beautiful pieces of art are made using eggshells, seashells and natural lacquer. It was fascinating to see how much time, effort and craftsmansh
Kero was excellent. Always kept us informed as to what was happening and was knowledgeable and considerate. He gave us so many general tips. We essentially had one full day in HCM and wanted to take in all of the war related activities, so this tour was perfect: went to the tunnels, had a lovely lunch of pho, then the war remnants museum followed by the hidden bunker. Learnt so much!
It was an amazing experience and enjoyed the tour to the full. Kero the tour guide made it more unique as he explained everything in detail and answered all questions asked. The Vietnamese lunch was also good.
We saw a lot of interesting sights. Ken our guide was very attentive and even bought us coffee while we were looking at one of the sights. I wasn’t a big fan of the restaurant where we stopped for lunch however. Curried snails and a few dishes that looked like they would give you an upset stomach:(
We had an amazing guide Logan And a very interesting day. With a lot of exiting experiences. This was absolutly the highlight of our Vietnam journey
Nhia the guide was superb. Nothing too much trouble. Entertaining and very informative. Ask for him! Joy Journeys
My husband and I had an amazing day. Our tour guide Safa was fabulous. He has so much knowledge and shared much information with us and spoke very good English. We were looked after very well considering we were a bit older . We had a small group and were taken to the less touristy tunnels . Fabulous day and would highly recommend this tour
Very interesting ,fun and informative. Mr Nia is the best story teller with huge package of knowledge and experience . Enjoyed every second of this tour and highly recommend to everybody ,especially with Mr Nia 👍
ken was terrific 👏 so knowledgeable and his English was perfect he couldn't have done anymore to make our visit to cu chi tunnels any better his knowledge of the war and the facts he gave us made it more real and poignant
I have to start by saying that our guide Kero, was by far the nicest guide I have encountered on my trip to Vietnam. He took his time and showed his passion of history on this tour. We originally booked this tour thinking it was going to be for a couple of hours but it was going to be longer than expected which was fine for us but just confirm length once you speak with your guide. Thank you Kero for a wonderful tour. We appreciate your time with us.
Tom was incredible. Relevant and pointed to what we wanted and did. he delivered above and beyond what we expected. I wish all our tours were this spectacular. Tom is a jem!!
Amazing to experience just how difficult it is climbing into those bunkers. My boyfriend is 6”5 and it was not easy but me 4”11 no issue
