Cu Chi Tunnels
We depart Ho Chi Chi Minh City in the morning to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, known for its role in the anti-American resistance during the Vietnam War and now seen as a symbol of heroism. With over 220 km of underground tunnels, it's a popular tourist attraction for both Vietnamese and foreign visitors. The scenic route from Ho Chi Minh City to Cu Chi passes through the local countryside, offering sights such as ducks and buffalo along the river. Despite its tranquil appearance today, it's hard to imagine the destruction caused by bombing and mines in the past, when Cu Chi was designated as a "free target zone."
My Tho
After investigating the tunnels, we'll head to My Tho, a province in the Mekong Delta region. We'll embark on a boat ride along the upper Mekong and witness the Four Animal Islands named after creatures in Buddhist lore: Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Turtle. On this portion of the tour, you'll get a glimpse of local Vietnamese life and how it is tied to the river. Later, we'll take you on a rowboat excursion through the narrow waterways, showcasing the fertile agriculture of the delta with its fruit orchards, coconut plantations, and beekeeping farms. During the tour, you'll have the opportunity to taste honey tea, seasonal fruits, fresh coconut candy, and enjoy southern Vietnamese folk music. Finally, we'll return to Ho Chi Minh City and drop you off at your hotel around 6:30 PM.

Our guide Matthew was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable, a great source of information and full of energy. He ensured everyone in the group felt welcome, answered all our questions and went above and beyond the description of the tour. He is a local to the Mekong delta so it was very interesting to hear first hand how the local communities utilise and live in the area, as well as the history and changes throughout the year. He also provided us with very clear instructions before the tour and the communication throughout was great. We highly recommend booking the tour and asking for Matthew as your guide. The tour is as described, we did not feel rushed, and it was beyond our expectations considering what we paid.

Matthew was our guide for the day, he is extremely knowledgeable of the history of Vietnam and gave a full commentary throughout the day on all aspects of the tour. The lunch was perfect and refreshments and comfort breaks were well planned, it was a long day but the tour exceeded my expectations.

Our host Matthew truly turned this already interesting tour into something even more special. I wish every guide were like him. So much history, so many new insights—shared in such an engaging and enjoyable way. Bravo. He kept us involved the whole time by asking questions and encouraging conversation. The tour itself is a powerful combination: witnessing the harsh history, feeling what the people endured in their struggle for independence, and understanding just how brutal that war was. The Mekong River is magical—especially the small boat ride through the wild, narrow canals. This is definitely a “must-do” when visiting Ho Chi Minh City. And make sure Matthew is your local guide.

Matthew was an incredible tour host, best one we have had so far, very kind and accomodating. We really enjoyed getting to know him and felt like good friends by the end. Such a fun group to be apart of and did parts on the tour that were separate from all the typical tourist spots. And great English too! 😁 -Sam and Abi

Awesome day spent with Max. Very informative and makes the whole day fun and you walk away learning much more than you would expect. Our driver was great also, really comfortable seats and a pleasant drive even in the chaotic traffic. You see ALOT of other tours at the tunnels and none of the guides were as good as Max. I would ask for him if possible. His connection with the local people along the way is second to none and they really look after you.

We had an amazing experience with the tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta! Our guide, Matthew, was excellent — he has a deep knowledge of the history, explains everything in detail and conveys his enthusiasm throughout the tour. We learned a lot, we saw wonderful places and we really enjoy every moment. The organization was perfect and the experience memorable. We strongly recommend him!

What a great tour !! Max really knew his history - it was a big day but we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The limousine with massage chairs was an absolute winner for us all, there was a bit of travel between the two destinations so it was very welcomed 😀 if you're thinking of booking this tour I can highly recommend it.

An informative, enjoyable, well presented day out. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, bang on the time we had been given in an our pre-tour communication, we were looked after, educated and we had a really really good day. The journey between hotel and tunnels was filled with relevant information about the history of the country and the American war. Our guide Max clearly knew his stuff and was as keen to share this as we were to learn. We were expertly guided around the tunnel complex and were given in depth explanations about everything we saw and could experience. The tunnels themselves are a tight squeeze, but easily achievable with get-outs at different intervals. Our lunch was excellent! The river part of the tour was equally well thought out. History, tradition and 3 modes of transport!! We will enjoy our chocolate and coconut sweets before we get on the plane home! Great tour - highly recommended!
