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.

Recommend Book Now - Fantastic Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Experience - We had a wonderful day with Betty our tour guide and driver Huy. We booked the VIP tour with up to 7 people in the group and there were 4 of us, so this was excellent as I find with a large group sometimes you can be waiting around longer.
Details of the tour, pick up and what we would need were communicated brilliantly beforehand. Pick up was prompt and Betty was extremely enthusiastic, funny and great at what she does. She was super friendly, helpful and knowledgable throughout.
The tour itself, though a long day with driving from HCMC and between locations was well paced, with comfort breaks when needed, never feeling rushed or like you were waiting around.
The Cu Chi Tunnels were fascinating and Betty’s knowledge added to this experience.
Lunch was wonderful, so much food and all super tasty; and as a vegetarian with allergies this was well catered for, and my Husband said his food was also delicious.
The afternoon boat rides on the Mekong as well as the smaller boat were beautiful, along with the visit to the coconut candy making, the fresh fruit and honey tea. We would thoroughly recommend this tour and Betty to anyone who wants to fit a lot of wonderful experiences into their time in HCMC.

Amazing experience! Big recommendation! - It was an amazing experience from the start to the end. We had Tu as our tour guide. He treated all his customers as his friends and took exceptional care of everybody. He had a lot of knowledge about the Cu Chi tunnels, the history lying there and about the Mekong Delta area.
This is an experience we won’t forget, and we will recommend everybody doing the same.
If I could give it more stars I would! Just book the tour and ask for Tu!:)

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.
