I will pick you up from your hotel and transfer to Cu Chi Tunnels with 1. 5 hour of drive around 70 km northwest of the city.
Overview of Tunnles
- Cu Chi Tunnels are part of a massive and elaborate tunnel system used during the Vietnam War. This place offers a reliable stronghold for Viet Cong soldiers during the wars against the French and mainly the US soldiers. It comprises more than 200km of underground tunnels with booby traps and trapdoors, living areas, kitchens, storage facilities, hospitals, and command centers. By walking and crawling through the tunnels, you will get a sense of the world of guerrilla warfare in the incredible Cu Chi tunnels and gain insight into the tenacity and bravery of the soldiers.
Before entering the tunnels we will stop to discover rubber plantations or rice field.
Cu Chi Tunnel
- Discover how the tunnels were built by fighters as a base from which the Viet Cong could operate.

“Private tour of Ho Chi Minh City”
Lee has under the weather, so MIA took his place as our tour guide with Nghia as our driver . We felt very safe with him and he got us back to thr ship in lots of time! Mia was excellent! She shared information about Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam on the way into the city. It took a bit under two hours to get from the cruise port to Ho Chi Minh City. Before going, we asked to make some changes in the itinerary and it was no problem at all to make the changes. Our first stop was at the Eco Village. Mia was very informative as we walked around and then we stopped and had some delicious Vietnamese milk coffee by the river. After that we went to a Chinese Pagoda followed by a trip to the wholesale market. It was interesting to walk around there and see all the spices and merchandise to purchase. The merchants weren’t pushy at all. We also went on a 20 minute rickshaw ride through Chinatown. This was an extra cost but well worth it. Definitely a highlight of the day! Mia took us to another pagoda. Then we made a quick change in the itinerary because I wanted to get some good Vietnamese coffee. Mia found an excellent place to purchase coffee. While there we had an opportunity to see The lacquer factory as well. After that, we went to lunch at a small Vietnamese restaurant. It was lovely. My husband has a shellfish allergy so Mia called ahead to make some changes in our meal. Our meal was served immediately upon arrival. The server was lovely. For dessert we had egg coffee, this was just as delicious as the milk coffee. After that, we headed back to the ship. It was a full day, but we were back in plenty of time, two hours before departure. I highly recommend Mia and Go With Guide tours! Mia had very good English and she had a lot of knowledge about Ho Chi Minh city. Just the fact that she was able to make a change in our itinerary was greatly appreciated.

“Lee is the perfect guide”
Lee was the perfect guide and was very accommodating with our requests from commencement time to where we did and did not want to go. Lee provided great insights on the sites and attractions we went to see as well as relevant historical information. Lee’s happy personality and humour made the tour even more enjoyable.

“3 Generations”
I took my parents back to Vietnam for the first time in over 30 years, along with my own 2 kids for the first time. Kids loved Lee and my parents loved talking to Lee about their old country. He spoke both Vietnamese and English for the kids. Lee was very accommodating, and waited over an hour and a half for us the first day as our plane was late. We ended up taking two tours with Lee over two days...
