Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tours: Compare All 9 Options
Nine Cu Chi Tunnels tours sit on this page, priced from €9 to €87 per person, sorted into three groups: Group tours, Premium and Combo tours. Group tours stick to the tunnel network alone and cost the least. Premium swaps the shared bus for a private car or a speedboat. Combo tours pair the tunnels with a temple, a river or the city's own landmarks, which is why they sit last: they pull you furthest from the tunnels themselves.
Which Group Tour Should You Book for the Cu Chi Tunnels?
Book the Cu Chi Tunnels Tour: Half-Day Guided Trip (AM or PM) if you just want the core underground crawl at Ben Dinh, priced from €14 with a morning or afternoon slot and roughly 7 to 8 hours door to door. Choose the Cu Chi Ben Duoc Tunnels Tour: Less Crowded Alternative instead if avoiding crowds matters more than a shorter drive, since it runs about 8 hours to the quieter Ben Duoc site from €15. The Cu Chi Tunnels and Gun Shooting Experience is the cheapest ticket here at €9 and adds a lacquer workshop and the Museum of Self-made Weapons. I would start with the cheapest option unless a specific site or extra stop matters to you.

What Do the Premium Cu Chi Tunnels Tours Add?
The Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour with Multi-Language Guide swaps the shared bus for a dedicated car or van from €20, with your choice of guide language and a choice of 15, 30 or 50 meter tunnel crawl. The Luxury Cu Chi Tunnels Tour by Speedboat is the most expensive product on this page at €87, cutting the transfer to a 75-minute river cruise up the Saigon River and adding a seven-course Vietnamese lunch with one drink included. Both run 6 to 7 hours door to door. I would pick the private car for flexibility on an ordinary budget, and the speedboat only if skipping road traffic matters more to you than price.

The Cu Chi Tunnels, Black Virgin Mountain and Cao Dai Temple Tour adds a cable car ride and the Cao Dai Holy See from €17 across an 11 to 12 hour day.

Pick the Mekong Delta option for two icons in one day, or the museum tour if history is the priority.

Compare All 9 Cu Chi Tunnels Tours
The table below sorts every listing by what actually separates them: duration, per-person starting price and category. Prices are the lowest published adult fare scraped on 2026-07-22 and move with season, group size and the exact date you pick. Duration is each operator's own stated figure, so a "half day" running 7 to 8 hours is normal once the drive out and back is counted, not a rounding error. Every product here is a fixed-slot booking with a confirmed pickup window, a morning, afternoon or timed departure, rather than an open-dated pass you redeem whenever you like. Compare the numbers directly, since all nine cover round-trip transport and a guide.

What Does Every Cu Chi Tunnels Ticket Include?
Every fare here covers round-trip transport from your Ho Chi Minh City hotel, an English-speaking guide (a multi-language guide on the private tour) and entrance to at least the main Cu Chi Tunnels site. None of the nine fares include the shooting range bullets: the range visit itself is bundled on most tours, but bullets for an AK-47, M16 or carbine are paid per round in cash on site. Lunch is only included on the Mekong Delta and speedboat tours; the half-day Group tours cover just a tapioca and tea tasting. Extras like a specific guide language, a shorter or longer tunnel crawl or a private vehicle upgrade are options you select at checkout, not part of the base fare.

How Many Days Do You Have for the Cu Chi Tunnels?
Start from how many days you have, not from price. On a single half day free, a Group tours or Premium option gets you back in the city by mid-afternoon or early evening. With a full day to spare, a Combo tour lets you add the Mekong Delta, a temple and mountain, or more city sightseeing without a second trip out of Ho Chi Minh City. Budget travelers should start with the cheapest Group tours ticket, while anyone who dislikes a shared bus should look at the Premium options instead. A full breakdown of what a standard half-day itinerary covers hour by hour sits on its own page.
How Does Booking Work?
Every tour on this page books through GetYourGuide, where you pick a date and departure slot, pay online and receive a mobile ticket, so nothing needs printing before you go. Free cancellation windows show at checkout on most listings, typically letting you cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, though the exact cutoff varies by product. This site is an independent comparison, not the operator and not the box office, and we earn a small commission when you book through a link here, at no extra cost to you. Your confirmation email doubles as your voucher, so keep it open on your phone for pickup.
FAQs
Which Cu Chi Tunnels tour lets me pick my own guide language?
The Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour with Multi-Language Guide is the only product here sold with a choice of guide language beyond English. Confirm your preferred language is available for your date when you book, since not every language runs on every departure.
Can I choose how far I crawl through the tunnels?
Only the private tour offers this. It lets you pick a 15, 30 or 50 meter crawl instead of the fixed distance used on every group and combo tour, so you can match the experience to your comfort with tight, dark spaces.
Is there a Cu Chi Tunnels tour that avoids road traffic?
Yes. The Luxury Cu Chi Tunnels Tour by Speedboat replaces the road transfer with a 75-minute cruise up the Saigon River, departing from the Saigon WaterBus Station instead of a hotel pickup, and gets you back in the city by early afternoon.
Which Cu Chi Tunnels tour caps its group size?
The Cu Chi Tunnels and War Remnants Museum VIP Small Group Tour is capped at 5 guests, the smallest published group size on this page. Every other tour here runs as a standard shared or private booking without a stated cap.
Which combo tour includes a cable car ride?
The Cu Chi Tunnels, Black Virgin Mountain and Cao Dai Temple Tour includes a cable car up Black Virgin Mountain, an extinct volcano known locally as the Roof of Southern Vietnam, skipping the long hiking trail that reaching the summit otherwise requires.
Is lunch included on the full-day Cu Chi Tunnels combo tours?
It depends on the product. The Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour and the speedboat tour both include lunch, with a vegan option available on the Mekong Delta tour. The Cao Dai and Saigon city combo tours price lunch separately.
Which tour visits the Museum of Self-made Weapons?
The Cu Chi Tunnels and Gun Shooting Experience stops at the Museum of Self-made Weapons near the bomb craters, displaying traps and firearms improvised from scavenged materials during the war. No other product on this page includes this stop.
