Ho Chi Minh City: Cu Chi Tunnels & Saigon Supper Club, Private

Descend into the legendary Cu Chi tunnel network used by Viet Cong guerrillas, then return to Saigon for a curated street-food and fine-dining evening through the city's most atmospheric alleys. History, adrenaline, and extraordinary flavour in one day.

What to expect

A private air-conditioned vehicle collects you from the port and heads directly to the Ben Duoc section of Cu Chi, where your expert guide narrates the remarkable story of wartime survival underground. You can crawl through a widened tunnel section and inspect original booby-trap displays. The afternoon returns to Saigon's District 1, where an evening food walk threads through hidden lanes for bánh mì, pho, and fresh spring rolls, culminating in a rooftop dinner with city views.

Good to know

Ho Chi Minh City port (Phu My) is 80 km from the city centre — factor a 90-min transfer each way. Confirm all-aboard time and communicate it to Pham Tours who build the itinerary around it. Book at least 2–3 weeks ahead; wear comfortable closed shoes for the tunnels.
