Highlights
- Cu Chi Tunnels - We’ll pick you up at your Ho Chi Minh City hotel in the early morning, and you’ll travel with your English-speaking guide to the Cu Chi tunnels. The drive is around 60 km.
At Cu Chi, you’ll be shown a documentary film about the tunnels and learn how the locals made bamboo traps, rice paper, and rice wine. You’ll then have the opportunity to explore the web of underground tunnels dug by Vietnamese resistance fighters.
- My Tho - After exploring the tunnels, we’ll drive to My Tho. This is one of the provinces that comprise the Mekong Delta area. We’ll cruise by boat along the upper Mekong through a region with islands named after 4 animals that appear in Buddhist writings
We’ll then take you on a trip by rowboat along the small waterways. You’ll see the agricultural richness of the delta region in its fruit orchards, coconut groves, and bee-keeping farms. We’ll stop so you can enjoy honey tea, seasonal fruit, fresh coconut candy, and southern Vietnamese folk music.
At the end of our tour, we’ll drive back to Ho Chi Minh City and drop you off at your hotel at around 18:00.

Today couldn't be better. - It's such a beautiful day to escape the city, explore the historic sites of the war, and then unwind by the Mekong River. We're lucky to have Harry as our guide, he's not only hilarious and engaging but also incredibly patient and knowledgeable.

Cu chi tunnels and Mekong delta tour - "Absolutely fantastic tour experience with guide Kevin! From start to finish, Kevin's expertise and passion for the area shone through, providing fascinating insights into the history and culture of Vietnam. The itinerary he crafted was well-planned, allowing us to explore all the must-see sights including the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta, while also exploring the local markets and showing how local honey is made and coconut candy is made. With Kevin's guidance, our group enjoyed a personalised experience. I highly recommend this tour led by Kevin to anyone looking for an awesome trip to Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta!!!! 5 stars !

A dip into Vietnam War History and local Mekong - A worthwhile trip with a further dive into the Vietnam War History (do this after the War Remnants Museum visit), getting more insights and entering the tunnel. It was a little nerve wracking but that is what made it worthwhile. The Mekong Delta tour that followed was a gentle breeze as well: the boat ride, seeing the local industry and getting to taste the local delicacies. All of this under the guidance of our guide - Mr Duy (Kevin).

Great experience with guide Kevin - Our group today had the pleasure to be led by Kevin who was extraordinary.
Very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the day, and the day was long!
He made sure we were comfortable and well fed at all times and everything went very smooth.
It was great and I highly recommend him and the tour itself.
Cu chi tunnels was very interesting in terms of history and Mekong delta was beautiful.

Fun times :)) - We don’t usually like touristy stuff, but being new-comers to this region, we decided that some guidance might be handy after all :)
This tour was fun; even we (the sceptical ones) enjoyed it a lot, hehe. It’s def a bang for the buck, squeezing a lot in one adventurous day.
We were lucky enough to have Eddie as a tour guide, who was super cute and knowledgeable, thus adding to the experience.
Totally recommended, especially for short-term travelers!

Full day Cu Chi & Mekong Delta - The whole experience was amazing and our tour guide Bunny was really good. She made sure we had access to all the activities at each location.
We chose the 12 person tour group full day Cu Chi and Mekong Delta. Started at 8am and ended at 8pm. The traffic in the Ho Chi Minh City makes it a long day. The 12 seater is small so if you have back or leg problems then it's not a good option.
It's a good choice if you want to make the most of the short time you are in Ho Chi Minh.
The lunch was average and limited options for vegetarians or Hindu meals (no beef and no pork). We paid $94 USD for 2 adults so overall for the price we paid the experience was good.
