Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Full Day

I went in expecting a heavy visit, and it was, but I left feeling a bit disappointed by how the museum is put together. The photos and the outdoor aircraft display were genuinely striking, and a few of the exhibits hit hard. But the layout felt cramped and repetitive, with not enough context in places. It was also very crowded and stuffy, and I kept getting nudged along in rooms that were hard to really take in. I think an audio guide or clearer explanations would make a big difference. Worth seeing for the historic material, but it could be much better organized.

Reflects on the atrocities of the Americans and the South Vietnamese torture of political prisoners during the Vietnam War. A cruel and nauseous experience, but still such an important part of Vietnam’s history that it becomes a must visit to this museum.

It was a good experience. The Cu Chi Tunnels tour was better way to understand how the Vietnamese overcame the hardships of war. The Mekong River Delta tour showed how simple lives of Vietnamese people can still make them survive well

Informative and well laid out. Worth knowing the history before going to cu chi tunnel. 3 floor plus the outside setup was good to get an idea of what the country dealt with

The overall experience of the tour was excellent. Tour guides were very helpful in guiding us during the tour. Overall a must visit tour experience.

This is a lovely trip, granted a bit long, but worth every minuet stuck in traffic. Did not take too long to get to the tunnels, a short stop and a art studio was lovely. The tunnels, it was an odd feeling, being as I went to the war museum before, then the tunnels it out things into perspective, and actually I would recommend doing this way round, museum - tunnels - Delta. If you are in anyway afraid of small spaces DO NOT do the tunnels, they are very small, and if you have a bad back, also think about it. It was a weird eire feeling, what it must have been like for the Vietnamese people. The Delta was amazing, if your shy about food, then be aware they bring an entire fish to the table! Or, there was on my trip. a quiet paddle up the delta, with no noise aside that of the paddle splashing....it was very tranquil. Saw how coconut Sweets were made (very yummy) drank honey tea (very yummy) and enjoyed the local style of music. The whole trip was pleasant from start to finish, even the 2 hour drive back docent seem too bad.....If a little bumpy! I highly recommend this trip.

Enjoyed both Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Trips. A bit hot, so we were glad Tunnels were done in the morning.

Everyone on this planet has to make this experience! To understand the culture, the history of this wonderful Country!

Two excellent trips, highly recommended. I’m a bit of a cultural desert but was fascinated by both trips. Good to hear the Vietnam point of view rather than the USA/Western view on the war. A must visit when in Vietnam!

The visit to the Cu Chi tunnels was an unique experience, insightful, real. The Mekong delta was lovely so much to see, so much to experience, see, taste. I hope though that the locals - the farmers, the men who row the the boats, who drive the carriages - also benefit from the huge tourism trade.
