Highlights
- Cu Chi Tunnels - 7:30am: Your guide will pick you up from your hotel and transport you to Cu Chi Tunnel in a mini van. The journey will take approximately one and a half hours.\n\nAs you travel along the road, you will be surrounded by serene rural landscapes, with rice paddies, rivers, ducks, and water buffalos. It may be difficult to imagine the destruction and devastation that once plagued this area due to bombings and mines, when Cu Chi was considered a “Free Target Zone.” However, the remnants you will witness in Cu Chi serve as evidence of the fierce battleground that once existed there. Have you ever wondered what it’s like to fire an AK-47? By visiting Cu Chi tunnels, you will have the opportunity to find out!\n\nIn the afternoon, we will depart from Cu Chi and head to My Tho City, a journey of approximately two hours by car. Along the way, we will make a stop at a restaurant for lunch.\n- Mekong Delta - Upon reaching My Tho City, you will be taken on a boat ride along a small canal, which offers a serene escape from the bustling town. Cruising through the canal surrounded by coconut trees, the boat will lead you to a coconut island in Ben Tre. Once there, you will disembark and leisurely explore the village, with a stop at a local family’s home. Here, you can indulge in tropical fruits, savor honey tea and honey wine, and be enthralled by traditional Vietnamese music performed by the villagers.\n\nYou will come across a coconut candy shop, where you can learn the art of candy-making and admire various handicrafts created from coconut trees. Taking a leisurely walk through the village, you will encounter a multitude of fruits, flowers, trees, and charming local houses, all while being greeted by the cheerful presence of children in the Mekong Delta.\nThe tour concludes at your hotel at approximately 19:00.

Amazing Cu Chi and Mekong experience - My partner and I stumbled upon this tour when trying to book relatively last minute, and we were blown away by our experience. We had Kevin as our guide, and he was very informative from the beginning of the tour. He was also helpful in guiding us in our experiences with the locals. We would highly recommend this tour with Kevin to anyone!

Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion - It was a very interesting nature tour of the Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta . Full day excursion from 8am to 8pm. Cu chi tunnel was an eye-opening and incredible experience ( the creativity and survival skills ! ). The Mekong Delta cruise was really exciting ( 2 boat rides, tasting of fruits, natural honey from the apiary, sea coconut , coconut and peanut candy , cultural performance, etc on the Unicorn Island ). Eddie , the tour guide speaks very good English , self- taught from the Youtube ! He informs you if he is stuck in the jam for your pick- up . He is a very eager , earnest , honest & hard-working young guide who is keen for his clients to have a safe & happy tour of his country.

The experience was truly exceptional and surpassed all my expectations. - Our trip, accommodating seven people, was incredibly comfortable. Kain's attentiveness ensured our well-being and he led us at a comfortable pace throughout. His expertise about the attractions enhanced our journey. A highlight was the visit to the coconut island, where we indulged in various coconut products.
