Top Ho Chi Minh City Day Trips

We had a wonderful tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta with our guide, Phu. Phu was friendly, and very knowledgeable about the history of the tunnels and the region. Our tour van was very comfortable with reclining "captain's chair", seats and there were only 6 people in our tour group, so it was very private and personalized. My three kids, ages 10, 14, and 16 all enjoyed the day very much, and they all had a great time! Our driver was fast and efficient, and got us to each destination safely, and quicker than a big tour bus. Highly recommend spending a little more money to take this private tour!

This is an interesting visit to take just outside Ho Chi Minh City, combining a visual experience with knowledge of the recent history of the area. The site itself allows for history to come to life as a visualisation of how people managed during the battles taking place. During transit to the site, Bunny our guide, Indochina Heritage travels booked via Viator, engaged us in a short history lesson with details of the history of the country, differing views and perspectives and really prepared us for the site. A friendly and knowledgeable guide, with great English language skills, answered our many questions and was supportive on site also, with guidance on the tunnels and lengths, as there are differing lengths that may or may not be suitable for people if they feel overwhelmed or claustrophobic. Bunny was aware and supportive while non judgemental at all points. We chose the VIP tour, as a family, which allowed us to make decisions on which site, shooting range and timing too. We then opted for Ben Duoc after reading reviews and discussing with Bunny, and glad we did. Slightly longer in journey time, it was not at all busy, and gave us time to have more history, and time around the tunnel sections. Additionally the shooting range is a little off site which means no noises from there in the tunnel area, which does help in the ambience. Overall an interesting tour, supported by a knowledgable guide.

We really enjoyed our trip. Everything went smoothly, we had a lot of fun, and it was a solid experience from start to finish—largely thanks to our amazing guide Manh, who was both super informative and entertaining. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about going.
