Great tour - The tour was very well organized. Our tour guide Simon was very knowledgeable, and he was so kind to give us the full story of Vietnam during our drives.
The van is great, the group was small and exclusive and they even have a cool iPad showing videos about the tour.
Both destinations are very touristic, so I personally wasn’t very impressed.

Kim Travel exceeds beyond my expectations! - I might say that Kim Travel is the agency that meet & exceeds my expectations 🤗💯
It was my 3rd time in booking my Mekong Delta & Cu Chi Tunnel Tour wt them because, every time I have a family who will visit here in Vietnam I really want them to experience the real beauty of Saigon. Kim Travel staffs are very professional in handling guest’s queries, inquiries and they keep you an update about your booked tour. During the tour, you will be accompanied by a pleasing guide. I still remember our tour guide Mr. Tuan (Tony B.) all throughout of the day, he was really hands on.
I really did enjoy having a transaction wt Kim Travel, I personally will recommend them on my colleagues and to those who wants to experience what I have experience for 3rd time 🫶🏻💓

A Culture-Filled Passage Thru Vietnam History - A very thorough, culturally rich experience led by our guide Simon. Most of the ride on the bus is filled with history, and AC. Once you arrive to both Cu Chi and Mekong, you physically dive into the long story of Vietnam and how it came to be. Convenient pick up from Saigon, and plenty of time to nap. This is a recommended trip for anyone visiting Southern Vietnam.
*Wear sunscreen, bring extra water and snacks, hand sanitizer and a phone power bank. A change of clothing and body wipes isn’t a bad idea either (this is a 10-12 hour journey).
**If you decide to crawl through the Cu Chi Tunnels, I suggest going on all fours instead of hunching over your knees. It’s a very small space with limited air so if you’re claustrophobic, you’ll want to skip this.

RO was really helpful - My trip to the Mekong Delta in Vietnam was an extraordinary adventure. The lush landscapes, with their intricate waterways and vibrant rice paddies, were stunning. We cruised along the Mekong River, visiting bustling floating markets and charming riverside villages. The local cuisine was a highlight, with fresh seafood and tropical fruits offering a delightful culinary experience. The hospitality of the locals was heartwarming, and we enjoyed learning about their traditions and way of life. From exploring ancient pagodas to witnessing traditional crafts, the Mekong Delta provided a rich and immersive cultural journey. Highly recommend for an authentic Vietnamese experience.
