I understand tat part. Just wonder what are the range.

As normally we go big group, they charge us around USD6 - 9 /person. Small group about USD12-14 per person for Cu Chi Tunnel.

Thinking what about private tours. Coz i have uncles and aunties coming from US and UK, they ask me to arrange a good one for them. Tho money is not really an issue here but I still wonder how much the private tour fee gonna be... so i can make necessary arrangement.

I remember my first trip was by them.
I almost got lost in tat area. And an aunty came by and rob me, seluk my pocket and grab my iPhone 4S. Thank goodness my pants is tight enough to feel something was wrong n thank goodness there's a policeman walk pass to help me...

I was walking from Ben Thant to TST, and I ended up Backpackers street when heading back.
Coz TST email me saying they dont provide hotel transfer unless I pay them USD5/pax.

Anyway, will see how it goes... most likely reach there only go to my usual one behind ben thant market. Opposite the Food court ... there are few stores.
