Incredible Tour — History, Culture, and Adventure All in One Day!

5.00My partner and I had an amazing time on this Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour with Vietnam Adventure Tours. Our group had just 10 adults, making it feel more like a private experience. We were lucky to have Dragon King as our tour guide—his English was excellent, he was knowledgeable about Vietnamese history, and he kept the day engaging and fun with great energy and humor! We were picked up near our Airbnb between 7:30-7:45am and returned to District 1 about 11–12 hours later. The day was well-paced and packed with memorable stops. We got to see local artisans at work, explore the Cu Chi Tunnels, enjoy a delicious lunch (vegetarian options available), and experience the Mekong Delta by boat. The Mekong portion included 2–3 island visits where we sampled local treats like fruits, honey, royal jelly, coconut candy, fresh coconuts, and even snake wine (rice wine). It was a fantastic mix of culture, food, and history. If you’re short on time in Ho Chi Minh City but want to experience both the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta in one day, this tour is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!
Jack was a great tour...

4.00Jack was a great tour guide! Would recommend a trip to the tunnels while in HCM. The Mekong was also great though it was a 2 hour drive from the tunnels making the day quite long. Overall a good experience!
Great experience

5.00My friend and I are from the USA so we were really interested in learning g grow about the Vietnamese POV of the American War and Tony, our guide was the absolute best. He was honest and answered all our questions. He also teaches history so we felt especially lucky to be with someone so knowledgeable. I have a new level of respect for all the Vietnamese and all they’ve endured, their spirit of patriotism was felt throughout this experience and our trip. For the second part of the tour to the Mekong delta Tony became the life of the party as we sang karaoke on our boat and overall had an excellent time. Ask for Tony as your guide!
Had a really good time...
