Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour from Ho Chi Minh
Description
Experience two iconic destinations in Southern Vietnam on this seamless full-day journey from Ho Chi Minh City. Begin by exploring the legendary 250km underground network of the Cu Chi Tunnels to discover a "hidden city" of wartime history and ingenious ingenuity. After a traditional Vietnamese lunch, transition to the lush Mekong Delta to navigate winding, palm-lined canals by a hand-rowed sampan. Immerse yourself in local culture with visits to a honey farm and a coconut candy workshop, all while enjoying a live performance of traditional folk music. This perfectly balanced tour offers the ultimate combination of historical discovery and serene river life in a single day.

We booked the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta small-group package with Kim Travel, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! 🇻🇳 Our guide, Mario, was the highlight of the trip—super entertaining, friendly, energetic, and extremely well-informed. He made the entire experience fun while also sharing lots of interesting history and local insights. Everything was well organised, the small-group format was perfect, and we had a super happy and super fun day! Highly recommend Kim Travel, and especially Mario, for anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City.
A great day out exploring Cu Chi tunnels, Mekong delta & all the stops in between. Thong & Mr H were a fabulous team! Small children were well cared for. Lunch was delicious.
We visited the Cu Chi tunnels and the Mekong Delta and we thought it was a great option to learn much more about the history, culture, and local life of Vietnam. We especially want to highlight our guide, Laam, who made the experience even better. His explanations were very interesting, clear, and complete, and throughout the tour he was attentive to the group and willing to answer any questions. It is clear that he knows the history and the area very well. The organization by the company was also very good throughout the excursion. We believe it is a very good option if you are going to spend more than one day in Ho Chi Minh, since in a single excursion you can visit two very different and interesting places and make the most of the day.
It was an amazing experience with our guide Lam.
Such a worthwhile experience and great value for the money. Bob was a great tour guide. Highly recommend!
Good experience and company. Totally enjoyed the trip
What a fantastic day. Pick up on time, great communication and easy to follow. Our guide was Jacky, an absolute star. Nothing was too much trouble, great knowledge, insight and perspective in the tunnels. Not only that he managed the crowds brilliantly so we had all the information and no waiting times. The food was great, well presented and plenty of it. The visit to the Delta was very good, learned so much about the modern and earlier history. Jacky was brilliant with his relationship not only with the tour but the local people. I felt like we gained so much more because of this. Fantastic day, lots to see, great guide and so much to learn. Absolute bargain. Having done tours in Argentina, Morocco, Shanghai, Buenos Aries, Rio and many more this is one of the best

Mario is a wonderful tour guide from Kim Travel. He is so sweet, friendly, and full of energy! He speaks clear and easy English. During our trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta, he shared amazing stories about the American-Vietnam War. Instead of just talking, he asked fun questions and got everyone involved in the conversation. Mario represents the true warmth and spirit of Saigon. He has the strong and proud heart of Vietnam, but with a very kind smile. If you visit Ho Chi Minh City, please book this tour and ask for Mario. He will make your day truly special!
