Additional Information

This succinct one-day tour spans a stretch of nearly 300km, introducing you to two strikingly different yet equally captivating sites near Saigon. The first stop is the Cu Chi tunnel system, a testament to one of the most brutal wars in human history. The second is the delightful Mekong delta in My Tho, abundant with lush orchards and rice fields. After exploring the hot and claustrophobic underground tunnels, you’ll enjoy a refreshing boat ride on the formidable Mekong river and its numerous tranquil canals, cooled by pleasant breezes.

Smile Tours - Amazing - Smile Tours not only organised this day trip for us but our whole month away. Everything ran smoothly and Thi was fantastic throughout the planning stage as well as during our time away. She went above and beyond checking in with us constantly and providing support when I became unwell during the trip. I highly recommend Smile Tours to anyone who is planning a holiday in Vietnam and/or Cambodia.

Cu chi and Ho Chi Minh combination - An excellent tour from Phu My port to Cu Chi and Saigon in one day. Organised by email from home, the staff replied promptly and with a can do attitude. We were met at the port on time, the guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. The tour exceeded our expectations, and the price was very reasonable for all the inclusions. We would highly recommend this company and would certainly use them again in the future.

Many Tours with Smile Tours - We took five tours with Smile Tours during our last trip - Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An and DaNang, Cu Chi Tunnels, and Saigon City Tour. All five were wonderful - great guides, interesting itineraries, and great customer focus. I would recommend this tour company for any tours you are considering in Viet Nam
