Itinerary
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.
Continue to the sprawling delta, where you’ll first board a motorboat, then jump into a smaller boat to paddle down narrow canals. Get a close-up look at rural life.
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!!

We had an amazing experience on this tour. Mr Phong was a very knowledgeable tour guide who explained us the full unbiased history of the Vietnam war, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong delta. At very point, we were treated with care and kindness where water bottles, wet towels, coconut water and a plentiful and delicious lunch was provided. We would recommend this tour to anyone who visits Ho Chi Minh.

Excellent tour, very interesting to hear different perspective of the Vietnam War and visiting the Cu Chi tunnels. Tour guide Dragon King was very knowledgeable and entertaining
Mylinh_V, Aug 2026
We had an amazing day exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. The tour was very well organized and packed with activities, with plenty of useful information along the way. The food was also very good! Lockie, our guide, is truly passionate about his work and shared his personal experience as a boat people fleeing Vietnam after the war, which was very interesting and touching. He is friendly, precise, and even delighted us with his singing at karaoke! Highly recommended tour!

Bac was a fantastic tour guide! Highly recommend this tour - lots of activities to fill a full day of fun
Haris_M, Aug 2026
This was a fantastic day out. The value for money is unreal. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Our guide BAC was one of the best guides I've ever had on a tour, he kept on top of everything and made sure pick-ups and the entire day went smoothly, and he was also extremely knowledgeable about both the tunnel system and the mekong delta communities and waterways that we visited. The day is quite long with all the driving, but the experiences make it worthwhile. Highlights were getting to see how the coconut candies were made, the sampon river cruise and exploring the underground Chu Chi tunnel system. Lunch was also great. A must do if you are in Ho Chi Minh.
ROBERT_A, Aug 2026
Really good tour covering the tunnels, but also included several other interesting places. Comfortable shuttle bus for the 12 person tour. Overall pace of the tour was good, traveling a fair bit for the different stops. Thanks Vihn for an excellent day. You were great.
KAYASTEVE_E, Aug 2026
Amazing tour. Tour guide Alex has extensive knowledge about the Vietnam War. He explained every single detail. Visiting tunnels and Coconut Island eas great.
Craig_G, Aug 2026
We booked this trip very last minute with no expectations and were pleasantly surprised with how much was included. The tour guide Justin (Vũ) was fabulous and very knowledgeable. Make sure you ask Justin to sing, he’s great!
Would highly recommend. The only thing that might catch a few people by surprise is that there’s a fair bit of travel. You probably spend about 4-5 hours on the bus. That being said it’s all worth it.
Simon_B, Jul 2026
10/10 I would recommend this tour. Lockie was a great tour guide, providing interesting information and a great vibe!
Hector_C, Jul 2026
Was a good experience lots of things to do worth the price and nick made a fun environment. And was also accommodating
Gavin_R, Jul 2026
Fun trip. Lockie was a very entertaining guide. Be aware that shooting the guns was very expensive, I should have paid closer attention when I just handed my card over. $140.00 to shoot one gun.
Joseph_V, Jul 2026
Awesome day filled with learning about the history of the conflict with America, Vietnamese culture and traditions, and very interactive!
Mary_P, Jul 2026
Wonderful experience. On time and fully pack itinerary with knowledgeable staff. The guided tour of the tunnels was super interesting, especially since it was told from the VietCong perspective. The Mekong Delta was very cool. Be prepared with extra cash, as you’re taken through coconut candy factory, a honey bee village and experience some local entertainment and boat ride, which are all fun, but all expect $$$. Trip was a long day but so fun and worth the price. This was our favorite activity in HCMC
Destiny_R, Jul 2026
As someone interested in learning more about Vietnam's war history, I really enjoyed this experience. Lockie was the PERFECT guide. He was incredibly attentive, energetic, and kind. He made learning about Vietnam's history fun and engaging. This was well worth the money, and I'd 100% recommend booking this tour with Lockie! He made this an unforgettable experience for all of us!

Nice day for some culture and history when in Ho Chi Minh. Went with 8 yr old son and wife. They both had a good time. A lot of time spent on the shuttle (good AC) but everything was actually quite efficient and organized. Dragon king was our guide and he did a great job. Lunch was tasty and lots of snacks on the tour. Bring some cash for tips and purchases.
James_E, Jul 2026
Amazing experience. We've done this tour twice now, once with the standard group and this time with the small group. Our group had 10 and it was a more hands on experience and our guide Tuong was amazing and funny and entertaining and very knowledgeable and shared a lot of that knowledgeable with us. Will do again and highly recommend

I can’t recommend this enough! I was so pleased with the experience. The driver and our tour guide Vinh were the best!! Had cold water and ready to take photos all day. You will have a great time. Highly recommend
Becky_T, Jul 2026
We had a really good experience, our guide Theo was very knowledgable about the different sites. Despite the rain, he still managed to make sure we saw everything. Would recommend
Joe_W, Jul 2026
A long day, around 11 hours. But a very Good day, our guide Nick was great and the driver drove very well.
YUK_C, Jul 2026
Overall a good experience accept for the poor driving skills of our driver and lack of air conditioning in the back of the bus. We were toasting in the back with next to no A/C. There were numerous road bumps on the roads and our driver not only did not slow down but he sped up causing my entire body to airborne. One more thing., there were no seat belts in the back row.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Dear valued guest! Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the driving experience and the discomfort caused by the air conditioning and seat belt issues. Your comments have been shared with our operations team so we can address these matters and improve the safety and comfort of our tours. Warm regards!

So cool. Saw the underground tunnels and traps they used in the war. The boat ride was so awesome, definitely would recommend!
maria_d, Jul 2026
We had a great experience with Alex our tour guide to see the Cu Chi Tunnels and Boat ride. He was informative about the war and facilitated our small group needs. He had a great sense of humour which was refreshing and always helpful. I would highly recommend this tour and if you like humour, Alex is your guy. We had a small group which was good as less crowded and more chance to bond and chat with fellow activity goers.

Ethan_L, Jul 2026
Viet was very eager to share his knowledge and showed us a great time. There were many unique activities all in a single day.
David_S, Jul 2026
A lot of driving between the city, tunnels and delta but well worth it. The experiences were great and very varied. The tunnels area was very interesting. The delta part included a lot of different, interesting experiences so it felt like we packed a lot into the day. The guide was brilliant - friendly and very knowledgeable - made the day very enjoyable!!
