What To Expect
Cu Chi Tunnels
7:30am: Your guide will pick you up from your hotel and transport you to Cu Chi Tunnel in a mini van. The journey will take approximately one and a half hours. As you travel along the road, you will be surrounded by serene rural landscapes, with rice paddies, rivers, ducks, and water buffalos. It may be difficult to imagine the destruction and devastation that once plagued this area due to bombings and mines, when Cu Chi was considered a "Free Target Zone." However, the remnants you will witness in Cu Chi serve as evidence of the fierce battleground that once existed there. Have you ever wondered what it's like to fire an AK-47? By visiting Cu Chi tunnels, you will have the opportunity to find out! In the afternoon, we will depart from Cu Chi and head to My Tho City, a journey of approximately two hours by car. Along the way, we will make a stop at a restaurant for lunch.
My Tho
Upon reaching My Tho City, you will be taken on a boat ride along a small canal, which offers a serene escape from the bustling town. Cruising through the canal surrounded by coconut trees, the boat will lead you to a coconut island in Ben Tre. Once there, you will disembark and leisurely explore the village, with a stop at a local family's home. Here, you can indulge in tropical fruits, savor honey tea and honey wine, and be enthralled by traditional Vietnamese music performed by the villagers. You will come across a coconut candy shop, where you can learn the art of candy-making and admire various handicrafts created from coconut trees. Taking a leisurely walk through the village, you will encounter a multitude of fruits, flowers, trees, and charming local houses, all while being greeted by the cheerful presence of children in the Mekong Delta. The tour concludes at your hotel at approximately 19:00.

5.00We booked the tour at very short notice and were delighted. Max was our tour guide. He was fantastic. He gave us a lot of historical information, so the tour to the tunnels was even more interesting. Afterwards we went to the Mekong Delta and despite the bad weather Max was always in a good mood and positive. And in the end it was a great experience. The tour was well organized. The bus picked us up from the hotel and took us there again in the evening.

5.00It was a very fulfilling day. The flow of the tour was lean and the staff, Ying, was very kind and courteous. The number of experiences, the smooth flow, the staff, the amount of money, the total cost is the best!!!
Well worth the money

5.00This is a long but very comfortable trip, and can be easily done unless you want to spend a lot of time at the shooting range at Cu Chi tunnels. The small group vehicle had business class style seats and the food was fantastic. Our guide, Kevin, was very knowledgeable and shared the information in an engaging manner. Visiting the tunnels was an eye opener, akin to a visit to Auschwitz. The Mekong Delta tour was interesting and the boat ride was like a small version of the gondola ride in Venice.
Very interesting excursion

5.00Absolutely wonderful experience! Our full-day excursion to the Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels was unforgettable. The tour was well-organized, allowing us to see so much in just one day without ever feeling rushed. Our guide, Đào Trúc, was exceptional - warm, knowledgeable, and attentive to everyone’s needs. She shared fascinating stories and insights about the region’s history and culture, making every stop meaningful. The Mekong Delta boat ride was beautiful and peaceful, and we enjoyed tasting local fruits and listening to traditional music. Exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels was a true highlight. Đào Trúc explained the history in a way that was both informative and respectful. I appreciated how she answered all our questions and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Special thanks to Đào Trúc for making it such a memorable day!
A fantastic full day tour!
