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.

Great day trip

5.00We had a wonderful day with Emily, who is a cheerful and very kind guide. She took great care to explain many details to us, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The Cu Chi Tunnels were a lot of fun, especially since we had the chance to go inside them (as long as you’re not claustrophobic!). We also visited several interesting places, such as a lacquer workshop and a coconut candy factory. The boat ride along the canals of the Mekong Delta was pleasant, although a bit short (it lasted no more than 15 minutes). Overall, we had a great time. Thank you Emily!
Great tour!

5.00Emily was phenomenal, and this was such a great tour. We really enjoyed learning about the Vietnam war, seeing the complexity of the tunnels and gaining an insight into how resilient and creative the Vietnamese were during the war. It was also great to visit the Mekong Delta, and gain an insight into Vietnamese culture. I would highly recommend the tour; really great value for money too!
Great day trip to experience war tunnels and Mekong Delta

5.00Very interesting tour with a great guide- Emily! The tunnels were so interesting to learn about and actually experience. And then the other activities were enjoyable with a boat ride and fruit tastings.
A lovely experience!

4.00Max was the most incredible tour guide! He is so knowledgeable and engaging. He constantly informed us of all the history and politics, surrounding this tour and its areas covered. The tour itself, however, is very long, with 6 of the 11 hours spent driving to each location. I think we underestimated the distance! A lovely little surprise stop was the handicapped and handicrafts centre where those who have been affected by Agent Orange, work and create beautiful art with egg and seas shells. We bought some lovely art, with proceeds going to support the business and those affected since the Vietnam war. The Cu Chi tunnels are interesting, having visited the War Remnants Museum the previous day. I would definitely advise to do this, first. However, it was more touristy and not quite what we expected but, nonetheless, still very interesting. The Mekong Delta was lovely. It was nice being able to go on each of the boats and experience local singers performing, a taste of the fruit and snake wine! Try, if you dare! I would definitely recommended tasting the sweet treats and purchasing the matcha and nuts snack bars - they are delicious! It was a shame that we didn’t get to experience the boat and this area for longer. Overall, the trip was really good, and great way to tick off 2 things in one day. Max, for us, was the highlight. If it weren’t for his expertise and enthusiasm, it wouldn’t have been as good as it was. Thank you, Max!!!

5.00I had a really nice time with my family on this trip! The tour guide -Kim spoke very good english and kept us entertained the whole time, very good job! Good fair price for the amount of activites you get! Our day started at 7 and we were back in Ho Chi Minh city around 6pm. You get to see a lot of local life, try local food - vietnamese lunch, fruits, tea, candy, snake wine :) In our group were 13 people which was the perfect size, lika a small tight “family” you cruise around with the whole day! I reccomend you bring some cash and water with you!
