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.

Amazing insight into the Vietnamese history and culture from our fantastic guide Dao.

5.00A moving and insightful day learning about the history and culture of Vietnam. Dao was an amazing guide for the day. Very knowledgeable and able to answer everything we asked of her. Well organised and passionate about her beautiful country. It’s a long day but one we will never forget and gave us a desire to see more.
A historic and cultural experience!

5.00This Tour was very well organized, comprehensive, and expectations were clearly communicated beforehand. Our guide, Toan, spoke very good English. The car rides to each location took about two hours long, though very comfortable and air-conditioned. During the ride, we had time for Toan to explain the history and the details behind all of what we were about to see. The rest of the way we were able to enjoy the countryside scenery. This way upon arrival, we didn't have any questions because they were already answered! Having a private tour allows you to move through the crowd much more efficiently, and we found it easier to be more flexible with the timing of how we did things. There are stops along the way to visit the locals seeing how they make products and live giving you an opportunity to purchase without any pressure.
Awesome experience!

5.00I had a very pleasant experience. Sammy is an outstanding tour guidebook. She makes sure you have a wonderful experience. She took me through all the historic sites and explained each of them in detail. Absolutely worth it and highly recommended.

5.00We love our tour guy Bunny, learned a lot of Vietnam history from her. I’ve especially enjoyed the coconut farm, and the river boat ride was fun. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Vietnam
Private luxury tour - it's the only way to go - ask for Eddie as your guide!

5.00Absolutely awesome experience with the private tour - we were a couple and had Vinh as driver and Eddie as the Tour Guide - take about service! From the booking to the drop off amazing service all round - Eddie is a wealth of knowledge and a fantastic tour guide - he just need to realise how good he is. We learnt so much about Vietnam, culture, language and history as we drive around the sights. The tour itself is a great taster if a first timer to KCMC (as we were) and the Tunnels a stand out especially when combined with fantastic explanation and history from Eddie. First stop we also visited a slightly touristy artwork workshop, along with all the large tour buses, but we received a private tour and if all to be fully believed, profits go to those affected by agent orange. Lunch at the tunnels was excellent and we enjoyed Eddies company even if he may have wanted a break!!! The drive from the Tunnels to the Mekong Delta is 2hours but is some clever down time form all the talking for Eddie. The Mekong section is a little more touristy and whilst some nice insights, and different scenery, felt there was more "tourist trap" items - but were enjoyable nonetheless. The drive back to HCMC is another two hours but you get to see real local life on the streets. Vinh, our driver, a man of few words but impeccable driving skills despite the chaos on the roads, was totally professional and coupled with a very nice SUV, made us feel safe. But the tour was made by Eddie and we thank him for such a great experience - sorry if we didn't tip enough.
