Itinerary
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.
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 – Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Turtle. On this part of the tour, you’ll observe some of the activities of regional Vietnamese daily life and appreciate how life here depends on the River. 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.

The experience went really well, I appreciated the pace of each activity and how inclusive they were for us. The travel is a bit long so there should be something to do in the van as we’re spending about 6 hours in it.
What a truly wonderful experience! We learned so much about the history of the Vietnam War and how the locals live. Kevin was an excellent guide. Great value for money. 5 stars!
Mecon river is nice. I love these landscape. I think this tour is so reasonable to enjoy it.
It was an amazing experience knowing the culture and history of vietnam. The guide Kevin was amazing. He was respectful, knowledgeable and funny. Very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Kevin.
Kevin is an absolute legend. Heaps of fun and very informative. Nothing like having a local to show you around. Can recommend.
The guide was really nice, everything expleined well.
Fantastic day. Xem was awesome guide. He gave us a great summary of vietnam history and the vietnam war. So much variety in the trip and great value for a 10 hour day. Wasn't even $60 NZ dollars each. A++
Xem was amazing! Lots of knowledge and insight into the history of the Vietnam War and the Mekong Delta. I got to try things I might never have had the opportunity to do had I not booked this tour. Very happy with our experience, and with a great price. Would definitely recommend :)
Very good experience and excellent guide Xem, always explaining everything. Nothing to say
The tour guide had a very good English pronunciation and was easy to understand. The bus was relatively comfortable and air-conditioned. The seat spacing was a bit small, but it must be said here that these vehicles are designed for Vietnamese people. On-site, you learned and saw a lot, so overall I can only rate this excursion as very good. Small note, keep to the pickup times a bit better.
