What To Expect
Cu Chi Tunnels
We’ll pick you up at your Ho Chi Minh City hotel in the early morning, and you’ll travel with your English-speaking guide to the Cu Chi tunnels. The drive is around 60 km. At Cu Chi, you’ll be shown a documentary film about the tunnels and learn how the locals made bamboo traps, rice paper, and rice wine. You’ll then have the opportunity to explore the web of underground tunnels dug by Vietnamese resistance fighters.
My Tho
After exploring the tunnels, we’ll drive to My Tho. This is one of the provinces that comprise the Mekong Delta area. We’ll cruise by boat along the upper Mekong through a region with islands named after 4 animals that appear in Buddhist writings – Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Turtle. On this part of the tour, you’ll observe some of the activities of regional Vietnamese daily life and appreciate how life here depends on the River. We’ll then take you on a trip by rowboat along the small waterways. You’ll see the agricultural richness of the delta region in its fruit orchards, coconut groves, and bee-keeping farms. We’ll stop so you can enjoy honey tea, seasonal fruit, fresh coconut candy, and southern Vietnamese folk music. At the end of our tour, we’ll drive back to Ho Chi Minh City and drop you off at your hotel at around 18:00.

4.00My was an excellent guide and the trip to the tunnels was very interesting and well planned. We opted to go to the Mekong delta on the same day but found the very long journey in the back of a transit bus very hot and uncomfortable. We were provided with ample water. Although interesting to see local produce we felt that it was a bit of a tourist trap and felt pressured to tip or make a purchase at every site we visited eg coconut, honey, fruit and the boat trip. Would recommend a visit to both but on separate days to avoid such a long journey.
Unforgettable Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Tour – Thanks Kevin!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience! The Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour was unforgettable and a real highlight of our trip. A special mention to Kevin, our tour guide, who was outstanding from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole tour fun and engaging. Nothing was too much trouble and he made sure everyone was comfortable and well looked after. If you’re planning this tour, I highly recommend it — and if you get Kevin as your guide, you’re in for an even better experience!
