Your small-group or privatetour to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta begins with a handy hotel pickup from central Ho Chi Minh City. Admire the views as you’re driven into the countryside in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.
While many day tours take you either to the Cu Chi Tunnels or the Mekong Delta, this visits both, which is ideal if you’re short on time. Learn more about Vietnamese resistance to US forces at the famous tunnels from your English-speaking guide. Admission is included here to save you any surprise costs.

Refuel with a tasty local lunch—vegan options are available—before your return transfer to HCMC.

BoHan gave our group a very interesting and entertaining tourist experience, visiting the Cu Chi tunnels and learning so much about Vietnam during the war. She was so informative and friendly and treated us to a very special hands-on day out. The Mekong Delta cruise was great too, as was the coconut village tour where we got to see and purchase many of the handmade treats to take home. Finally, the river boat paddle ride completed our special day. A positive, enjoyable experience for everyone! Would recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks so much BoHan!!

Thank you so much to Lockie and the driver Hero for this tour. Everything was perfect.
Thank you for the explanations during the tours and the karaoke sessions, which help make the journey go by more quickly.
Natalie_S, May 2026
Our tour guide Lockie was very fun and knowledgable. He told us a lot about the history and culture of Vietnam and his own story. He was very entertaining, even with some Karaoke! The day was long but worth it, we saw a lot and got to sample various foods. Lunch was delicious for the vegetarian/vegan option. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Jessica_R, May 2026
Lockie was an amazing tour guide. Was very helpful with his knowledge on history. The food for lunch was great. It was a great way to learn more about Vietnam. Highly recommend.
Shanna_G, May 2026
Prepare for an entire day out of your Saigon trip but rest assured it’s worth visiting. And that Dyan, the tour guide, will take care of you just like how he did with us along with a day’s worth of fun entertainment and company

Very interesting history of war. If youre afraid of bugs the jungle part may not be for you. The guide "Lockie" was very helpful and informative. Bring a Bottle of ice water to keep cool.
Paige_S, May 2026
The tunnels and history were fascinating and Tony tells you a lot about the war history in Vietnam. The palm forest was so peaceful. Tony made this such a unique experience with his personality - expect a fun and interactive day. “Never try never know!”
There is a bit of time in the van but Mr Khahn is an unreal driver. Such a smooth drive and gets you to the destinations as quick as possible. Make sure you bring cash with you for tipping and purchases.

Dragon king provided a wonderful tour, providing us with lots of Info all day , great food great fun great company what a star he is cheers!
Kristy_B, May 2026
The full day tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels, Mekong Delta and Coconut Village was a good experience. Our tour guides name was the Dragon King.
Pickup was easy.
The tour stopped at an art workshop where paintings and items made of lacquered wood and eggshells. We bought a small wooden vase.
During the drive Dragon’s commentary and iPad presentation was very good.
The cu chi tunnels and history about how the Vietnamese used the tunnels was very informative but extremely hot. Take a fan annd mosquito repellent along.
Lunch was okay- the mango smoothies were delicious.
The Sampam ride was a lovely experience. Our boat driver was very smiley, took photos for us and didn’t speak any English other than to say bye bye you tip me now. It’s how they make a living so we didn’t mind providing a tip.
The coconut village was also interesting to see. They provide samples of the coconut candy for you to try. Thankfully it didn’t rain on us but the guide did recommend to bring a raincoat or umbrellas which we didn’t have.
The ride and driving was smooth and comfortable. I usually get car sick but I didn’t need any travel pills for this one.

My guide the "Dragon King" was amazing. Lunch, however, left a lot to be desired and also left hungry. Nothing traditional, just bland and over cooked mini bites. It was a very, very long day with a lot of driving.... over 6 hours of driving. The actual sites were nice tho, especially in the Mekong Delta.
RITIKA_D, May 2026
It was a wonderful experience going through the war tunnels in CuChi and the Mekong delta… 0ur guide Bo Han very very courteous and very knowledgeable. She told us stories of the war and how her ancestral family was also a part of it. She was very friendly and Made the tour very interesting. She made sure everybody was comfortable overseeing that all girls appropriate breaks, lunch, water, and is an excellent tour guide!! Thanks Bo Han for this beautiful day!!!

A really enjoyable day outside what you might otherwise experience on a short visit to HCMC, with a great blend of history and modern local culture. Loads of positives: - Very informative guide, Dragon King was great! - Comfortable transport that was always waiting and ready to go - Great blend of experiences and delicious lunch included - Numerous opportunities to buy coffee, snacks etc. and use facilities throughout the day. A few things worth noting:
- Quite a lot of the day is spent driving (traffic wasn't bad but we still spent a good 5.5hrs travelling), not an issue, but this isn't made very clear in the listing - Have some money to tip the sampan boat operators. The information we received was that their livelihood is made through these tips (a suggested offer was 20000vnd each). It's surprising that this tip isn't built into the price of the ticket considering the experience is a huge selling point of the tour
- Despite the listing, we didn't have any live local music on our tour
- A few stops have a strong commercial element, encouraging tourists to purchase products - it did feel quite pressuring at times. --- Overall it was a great day out and worth checking out if you have a day to spare in Ho Chi Minh City
Natalia_F, May 2026
We had an amazing full-day tour from HCM today and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Everything was incredibly well planned and organised from start to finish, making the whole day smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. The itinerary was excellent and we got to experience so much without ever feeling rushed.
A special thank you to Tommy, who was a fantastic tour guide throughout the day. He was friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, and had a great sense of humour that made the tour even more enjoyable. You could really tell he cared about making sure everyone had a great experience.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City!
Caleb_T, May 2026
We had a great time exploring the different areas around HCMC with Lucky as our guide! The day is pretty packed so you definitely feel like you’re getting your money’s worth. We also got to try lots of different snacks and drinks, like snake/cobra wine and coconut candy. Lucky is a very knowledgeable and lighthearted guide, and did an excellent job keeping the group moving and engaged. The only reason we didn’t give this a 5 star review is because the Cu Chi tunnels feel slightly rushed, and it would have been nicer to have a little more time to learn about them and see some more of the exhibits they have around. Other than that, definitely worth seeing. Just make sure to bring lots of water!
Jenette_C, May 2026
I definitely recommend this tour. Our tour guide, Dat, was very knowledgeable, articulate and his English was perfect. If you are into culture and history, this tour does not disappoint. It was probably one of the best tours we've done in all of the places we've visited around the world.
Pamela_H, May 2026
We had an amazing experience on the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour in Ho Chi Minh City. Our tour guide, Lara, was absolutely exceptional. She gave us the perfect amount of information without overloading us and really knew how to read the group and keep everyone engaged and comfortable throughout the day. Everything was so well organised from start to finish.
A special mention to our driver as well — he was fantastic. The van was spotless, comfortable, and made the long day very enjoyable.
The lunch was also excellent with plenty of food provided and it gave us a great insight into the local cuisine.
Doing both tours in one day was such a great experience and flowed seamlessly. We highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to see both the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta while in Ho Chi Minh City. Amazing experience all around!
Giulia_G, May 2026
This was a lovely tour of the Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta, where there were a variety of sightseeing points, optional add-ons, and opportunities to try local food and see local entertainment. Our tour guide Duc in particular was extremely funny and engaging. He was very knowledgeable with the region, and patient with questions. I would strongly recommend this tour and Duc as the tour guide if you have a day to spare!
Newton_D, May 2026
Very informative and clear before the trip.
Bac was one of the best tour guides i have come across. Did trips across Europe and Asia...he comes across as knowledgeable,accommodating and someone who is passionate of his countries history.
Raul_P, May 2026
The cu chi tunnels was a great educational experience. I got to understand what the soldiers went through.
I got to fire an AK-47 which was a great experience.
That’s where it ends. Then we went to eat as part of this package.
Dragon king emperor was a great host. Where I think he fell short is telling us not to bring anything but our phone and wallet. I did that but left my fan and it was hot and humid as it always is. I shoulda taken my bag or he should have said to bring a fan as well.
After the tunnels and food we drove an hour to a delta something to experience more local culture. That wasn’t worth it. The detour to go to the delta added an extra 3-4 hours of time that I would have rather gone back to Saigon.
I would have rather paid $10 dollars to support the local economy and visited a local stand and saved myself the 4-5 hours then go help the local economy with this extended tour. What we learned about the economy wasn’t bad it just wasn’t worth the 4 hours.
Overall dragon king was great, 5 stars. But I wouldn’t do this experience again if it includes the delta part.
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Raul! Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re very sorry that some parts of the experience did not fully meet your expectations, especially regarding the long duration of the Mekong Delta visit and the weather conditions during the tour.
As the weather in Southern Vietnam is often hot and humid year-round, many guests usually bring personal items such as hats, fans, or small bags for comfort. We appreciate your suggestion and will remind our guides to provide clearer recommendations about this in future tours.
We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the Cu Chi Tunnels experience, the AK-47 activity, and Dragon King's hosting. Regarding the Mekong Delta portion, this tour is designed as a full-day cultural combination experience to help visitors explore both wartime history and local life in the countryside. However, we completely understand that travel preferences vary, and some guests may prefer a shorter itinerary focused only on Cu Chi Tunnels.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, it truly helps us improve our tours and communication for future travelers. Warm regards!

A long but rewarding day trip to so many key places in the south! If you’re limited on time, this is an efficient way to see stuff outside of the city. Phong was very educated on a non biased history lesson of the Vietnam war. The Cu Chi Tunnels were humbling to see and crawl through. They were a very tight squeeze but the stories were impactful. Mekong Delta was fun to cruise down and see locals treating us to snake liquor, holding snakes, and a peaceful ride down a small river.
Gonzalo_S, May 2026
Highly recommended day trip. Our tour guide Phong was great. Very informative and friendly. It’s worth the trip.
Christine_M, May 2026
Overall disappointing. Our guide, Alec, only got in touch with us the morning of the tour to inform us that pick up time was in 20 minutes, then did not show up for 40 minutes!
He make terrible snorting & sniffing noises the whole bus ride.
Cu chi tunnels was very interesting but the trip to the Mekong river took 2 hours and was definitely not worth a whole afternoon.
Would skip Mekong river part of trip!
Phoebe_A, May 2026
Had a great time on this tour with Alex as the tour guide. He was very informative and spoke a lot about the history with us on the bus. He was loads of fun and kept the vibes high all day. Definitely recommend this tour!
Juraj_S, May 2026
Awesome. Great service worth the money. Guide Lockie was perfect, funny and helpful. Would recommend
David_J, May 2026
This was an incredibly informative trip, especially enjoyed the history of the tunnels. Our guide was great with providing us with information. It is a long day of travelling and if we had more time I think we would rather split the two activities and do them on separate days for a more relaxed experience. It was a great day though.

Worth doing as a first timer to Vietnam – but honestly, expect to be rushed around everything at a very farcical and superficial level on this combo day tour. I half expect that on trips such as these, and honest that is fine: but we could have fit so much more in of the actual main attractions if we weren’t constantly stopping off at different food and local trader venues where you are expected to spend additional money.
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear valued guest! Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry the tour felt rushed and too focused on stopovers rather than the main attractions. Our intention with these visits is to offer a glimpse into local culture and support small businesses, but we understand this may not suit everyone’s expectations. We truly appreciate your comments and will take them into account to better balance the itinerary and improve the overall experience. Warm regards!

We had a 5 star tour with our exceptional guide, Phuc. Phuc was knowledgeable, polite, professional and fun. Our driver was also excellent. You could tell this guy is a pro.
We opted for the small group limo package and it’s WORTH IT. The seats are very comfortable and you get a more personal experience.
My favorite part was seeing local life on the delta. Highlights were riding in a small sampan under a magical canopy of water coconuts and cruising across the delta at sunset. Sublime, and a beautiful way to end our trip to Southeast Asia.
Michael_D, Apr 2026
Lockie, was a fantastic tour guide, he sang and gave a great historical overview. The food and drink stops were great.
David_P, Apr 2026
Vinh is truly the most remarkable guide one could wish for ! His knowledge of Saigon was amazing and just the most genuine person one could wish for! Thanks for making our day tour perfect Vinh
