What To Expect
Cu Chi Tunnels
Situated 40 km away from Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi tunnels consist of a vast and ingenious network of underground tunnels connecting living and cooking areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers but also hundreds of trap doors, that played a strategic role in the resistance of the Viet Cong soldiers during the ‘American War’, helping them to control a large rural area around Ho Chi Minh City
My Tho
As a traditional gateway to Mekong Delta, My Tho is the favorite tourist destination to get a glimpse into the unique Mekong river life and landscapes.

5.00Typhoon Honey is very good and friendly tour guide. He is funny and very knowledgeable in the Vietnamese history. He is easy to approach and made the tour very memorable. Met a good friend along the way. I would definitely recommend Typhoon Honey trips and guides, it’s worth it. It’s a memorable experience, one of the best experiences I had in Vietnam. I will miss Typhoon Honey.
great tour, will comeback next time

5.00I really enjoy learning about Vietnamese culture. I visited the north before, and this time I came back to see the south — it feels so different. The Cu Chi Tunnels were super interesting, especially with the guide explaining everything in detail. Cruising the Mekong’s small canals was relaxing and peaceful, and I liked stopping by the villages to see how people still keep their traditional crafts.
nothing beats this tour!! worth it 10/10

5.00The views were absolutely breathtaking! We visited in May 2025 with our family and had such a wonderful time. Every corner was picture-perfect — we couldn’t stop taking photos! The atmosphere was peaceful, and the service exceeded our expectations. It was a memorable experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.
Great good excellent 10/10

5.00We did the private Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong tour in one day and it was such a good choice. The morning at Cu Chi was intense, crawling through those tiny tunnels really made me realise how tough life was back then. Tried shooting an AK47 too which was wild. At mekong delta, I love the boat ride along the canals, just peaceful and quiet, and the coconut candy workshop was fun. Yeah it was a long day, but if you only have a short time in Vietnam and want to see two totally different sides of the country, I’d say go for it.
Good tour

5.00Did this private day tour and it was totally worth it. The tunnels were super interesting — our guide explained a lot about how people lived down there. After that, the boat ride in the Mekong Delta was a nice way to relax and see local life. Good balance between history and just chilling. The car was clean and cool, which helped a lot in the heat. Would recommend if you want to see a bit of everything in one day.
Highly Recommend!!!
