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.

5.00Our family of 5 explored the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta with Max as our guide and we had an awesome time. The tunnels gave us a unique understanding of what life was like for the Vietnamese back during the war, Max did an excellent job of explaining this in a way that was interesting and informative. The Mekong Delta was a great way to end the tour as it was in contrast more relaxing, from a soothing boat ride across the Mekong, to riding small boats through small canals. We were then met with some excellent traditional music from some terrific performers, with some tasting of snake wine thrown in there! Overall it was a terrific day, cannot recommend it enough if you are visiting Vietnam. Definitely suggest that you ask for Max if you end up doing this tour, great sense of humour, really informative and was open to any questions we had. We also had a ripper group of people in our tour group which made the day much better also.
Stay together like sticky rice

5.00We had an amazing day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta with Max as our guide, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our time in Vietnam. The visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels was fascinating and eye-opening. Max explained the history in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, giving us real insight into what life was like during the war. It wasn’t just informative—it felt immersive and memorable. The Mekong Delta part of the tour was a perfect contrast. It was relaxing, scenic, and full of local experiences—from boat rides through the canals to trying fresh tropical fruits and local specialties. Everything was well-organized, and we never felt rushed. What really made the difference was Max. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. He made sure everyone was comfortable, answered all our questions, and added personal touches that made the day feel special rather than just a standard tour. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see both the historical and cultural sides of southern Vietnam in one day. And if you can, definitely ask for Max!
Amazing tour

Recommended Private Option with Kevin as guide

5.00From start to finish we had the perfect day with Kevin as our guide and our driver was also extremely good. Would highly recommend choosing this private tour option as the tunnels and river both get quite busy. Kevin managed to guide us round the important areas of the tunnel complex whilst avoiding all the larger tour groups. Lunch included on the tour was at the restaurant at the tunnel complex and was very nice. Cold drinks including coke and beer supplied in the vehicle were welcome after each hot and humid stop! On the way to the tunnels we stopped at a handicapped craft centre which was interesting to see how the lacquer and egg-shell pictures were made - no hard-sell from the proprietors. After lunch we headed to My Tho (about 2 hours from Cu Chi) and had a boat ride to Unicorn Island. We explored a Coconut Candy factory and outlet and went to a family-run fruit farm, sampled the fruits and pandan tea whilst they entertained us with a medley of Vietnamese folk songs! We then headed for a rowing boat ride rowed by locals along the small inlets using a typical boat used to lay fish traps in the region. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable day!
GREAT TOUR WITH MAX!!!

5.00We had a great time during the tour. Max was our tour guide and he made everything easier for us. We learned a lot about Ho Chi Minh City through him. He was very smart and always so smiley which made my mom and I's day! We'd surely book again next time when we come back :)
Great guide, small group, long drive

4.00Our guide Ni was very friendly and taught us a lot about the history of Vietnam, including the war and about the areas we visited. Doing the tunnel tour with a small group of 6 people was great ! 3 of us in the group didn't feel very confident going down the tunnels but we still wanted to try and it felt reassuring to have 4 options for exits (20, 40, 60 or 100 meters). We had a set lunch with a variety of Vietnamese dishes at the restaurant of the tunnels museum, which was very tasty. In the afternoon we went around a small island in the Mekong delta region, did a tour in a kart, listened to traditional music and then went on a canoe in a narrow river. The only issue was the driving which was 6 hours in total but the limousine/mini-bus was very comfortable.

4.00The day was well planned and went according to plan. Our tour guide and driver were professional, very knowledgeable and friendly. I did not like how many stops we were asked to tip locals or buy goods, this felt excessive and took away from the experience. Also felt slightly vip then was described.
Great day tour
