5.00The Cu Chi tunnels were unlike anything i’ve seen, tight, dark for Russian like me, how they can fight back American here?. Crawling through them gave me a glimpse into the past i'll never forget. Then the Mekong Delta brought a complete shift in mood. The boat ride was peaceful, the fruit fresh, and the locals welcoming. Watching how coconut candy is made and hearing folk music under the trees made me feel part of something timeless. It was a day of contrast, and it worked beautifully.
I have a great day

4.00I started the day crawling through tunnels and ended it floating down quiet canals. The contrast was striking. The guide explained everything clearly, and the transitions between places were smooth. I especially enjoyed the fruit tasting and watching how rice paper is made. This tour gave me both emotion and relaxation, exactly what I hoped for
Careful guide with great trip

5.00This tour showed me two sides of Vietnam. The tunnels were powerful, tight, dark, little scary and full of stories. I learned a lot about survival and resilience. Then the Mekong Delta brought peace and color. The sampan ride through coconut canals was beautiful, and the locals were so welcoming. It felt like history and harmony in perfect balance.
Best day outdoor!

5.00The morning at the tunnels was intense, walking through underground paths, seeing hidden traps, and tasting wartime food gave me a real sense of history. Then the afternoon in the Mekong Delta was a complete shift, calm boat rides, sweet fruit, and warm smiles. I loved watching how coconut candy was made and hearing traditional music under the trees. It was a full journey in one day.
Great tour!

5.00This tour gave me two completely different sides of Vietnam in one day. The morning at the tunnels was intense, crawling underground, seeing the traps, and learning about wartime survival was eye opening. Then the afternoon in the Mekong Delta was peaceful and warm. I rode a sampan through coconut canals, tasted fresh fruit, and listened to traditional music. It felt like going from history to harmony
Still amazing like the first time

5.00Crawling through the tunnels, trying my hand at shooting an AK, munching on boiled cassava , just picturing myself as a soldier. Then I drove down to the Mekong Delta, picked some fruits, listened to traditional music, and enjoyed fresh coconut water. It's all about history, culture, and chilling out. By the time I got back, I felt even more in love with Vietnam.
This is so cool

5.00In the morning in Cu Chi, crawling through the tunnels, watching documentary films, trying real guns. For lunch, eating boiled cassava, a dish from wartime that is unexpectedly delicious. In the afternoon, heading to the Mekong Delta, listening to traditional music, rowing a three-leaf boat, drinking fresh coconut water. This tour is like a movie, each scene a color, each experience an emotion
Explore history, nature of the Mekong Delta

5.00This tour is truly in the style of 'morning of war, afternoon by the river'. In Cu Chi, you get to try shooting a real AK, see the workshop making rubber sandals and homemade weapons, very impressive. After that, we go down to the Mekong Delta, listen to Southern folk music among the fruit orchards, and then row a three-leaf boat through the small canals. Learning a lot while enjoying to the fullest.
Very creative in wartime

5.00I never thought I would see a sandal workshop, but it's real in Cu Chi. There is also a homemade weapons workshop and a B52 bomb crater. Each of these tells an epic story about the resilient Vietnamese people. This tour is not just a fun outing, but also a way to learn history in a very vivid manner
Slow down to see how beautiful vietnam

4.00Sitting in a three-leaf boat, gliding past the rows of river coconut trees, with no engine noise, only the sound of paddles. The scenery is like a painting. On the boat, you can enjoy fresh coconut water. A very 'Mekong Delta' moment, definitely worth experiencing
