Highlights
  • 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

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.

10/10 experience - This experience had everything, we learnt so much about Vietnam culture and history thanks to our guide Kevin who made this tour unforgettable, he showed so much knowledge and took care of all of us at all time. We visited the tunnels, had an amazing lunch, travel the Mekong River, ate some candys, fruits, saw how people worked, even we could hold a python. Would recommend to everyone that visit Vietnam.

Great tour, awesome tourguide! - The tourguide is an amazing friendly guy, whom can rather be described as friend in the group than tourguide. He will tell you everything you need to know / want to know about the Cu Chi tunnels, and tries to ‘beat the crowds’. His knowledge about the war, and Vietnamese history in general, go above and beyond! Since the Mekong delta is a quit long ride from Ho Chi Minh, you’ll see less of the beautiful environment then when e.g. you go on an entire day trip here. However, you’ll get a great experience about the Mekong, with all her fruits, people and products! All in all, yes you’ll be in the car a lot, but totally worth it!

A must do experience - Highly recommend this tour. Combining these 2 attractions was perfect for us as we had limited time in Ho Chi Minh. Max was our guide. He was very knowledgeable of history and we learnt lots from him. He was also very entertaining!
