Visit the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta - the two principal and most well-known attractions of Southern Vietnam - one historical, one natural, both cultural – within only a day from Ho Chi Minh City. Yes! It’s absolutely possible! This private tour firstly includes a stop at Cu Chi Tunnels, an amazing experience for you to explore the intense battleground and learn about its crucial role during the Vietnam War. As soon as getting to Mekong Delta, we transfer to a small rowing boat to paddle along the small canals under fronds of coconut trees lining both sides, then get on the motor boat to cruise to the coconut island. We disembark at a local family to enjoy tropical fruits, taste honey tea, honey wine, see how the local products are made, and enjoy a live folk music performed by the local artists.

5.00This day tour from Saigon to Cu Chi tunnel and Mekong Delta was very interesting, full of fun and bit of adventure (with Python around neck 😀). Linda (Huong) our guide was very enthusiastic, full of energy and proud Vietnamese. Her explanation of Vietnam war/American war was very insightful and interesting. I recommend her as guide if you are planning to take this tour. The driver Huang was very helpful and is safe driver.

4.00Very good experience. Linda is very knowledgeable and friendly. Value for money as you see a lot during the day. It is a long day but lots of rest stops. The local people are very welcoming and hospitable. Our tour was only 11 people so it didn’t feel overcrowded.
Fun Tour Three !!
