Don't miss this! - Golden light on the riverbanks and narrow canals made every frame irresistible, rustic houses, fruit trees and wooden boats created constant photo opportunities. The contrast with the dark, textured tunnels at Cu Chi gave the day visual drama, perfect for travelers who want both serene landscapes and powerful historical shots.

Amazing tour - What surprised me most was the food and flavors on this Cu Chi and Mekong day trip. A simple riverside lunch turned into a highlight with fragrant fish, tangy dipping sauces, and tropical fruits that woke up every sense. Between exploring tunnels and gliding along canals, stopping for homemade coconut candy and honey tea felt like discovering secret tastes of Vietnam. The guide knew the best local bites, turning the tour into a small culinary adventure I won't forget

Awesome tour and excellent guide - I had an excellent day on the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour from Ho Chi Minh City. The guide was knowledgeable and attentive, bringing history to life during the Cu Chi visit and making the tunnel experience engaging. Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious and authentic. The Mekong portion felt peaceful and authentic, a relaxing boat ride on the Tien River, fresh tropical fruit tasting, a sampan ride through narrow canals, and traditional music that added charm. Visiting the coconut candy workshop and honey farm was a delightful local touch. Well paced, great value, and highly recommendable

Never image this tour so fun - Crawling through the tunnels in Cu Chi, i felt the weight of history, tight spaces, hidden traps, and stories of survival. I even tried shooting an AK, which added to the intensity. Lunch was boiled cassava, simple but surprisingly good. Then came the Mekong Delta, soft music under fruit trees, a quiet boat ride through coconut canals, and fresh coconut water in hand. It felt like two different worlds in one day, both unforgettable

Like a whole cinema - This tour felt like a film, each scene with its own mood. Cu Chi was raw and real, documentaries, tunnels, weapons, and a crater left by a B52. I imagined life underground, and it gave me chills. Then the Mekong Delta shifted the tone, gentle paddles, green orchards, and sweet folk songs. Drinking coconut water on a three leaf boat, i felt peace. It was history, culture, and emotion, all in one beautiful loop.

I love workshop here so much - I never thought i'd see a sandal workshop or a homemade weapons lab, but Cu Chi showed me both. It wasn't just sightseeing, it was stepping into the past. Then the Mekong Delta brought me back to the present, with music, fruit, and a slow boat ride through narrow canals. No engine, just paddles and silence. I learned, i felt, i relaxed. This tour taught me more than any museum ever could.

Kinda good for a tour of history - The morning was raw and powerful. Walking through the tunnels, seeing the traps, and hearing the stories made history feel close. Then the afternoon softened everything. The Mekong Delta was full of color and calm, orchards, music, and slow river rides. I loved the rhythm of the day, intense, then gentle. It was the kind of tour that leaves you thinking, not just snapping photos.

I hardly recommend you - The Cu Chi tunnels were unlike anything i’ve seen, tight, dark for Russian like me, how they can fight back American here?. Crawling through them gave me a glimpse into the past i'll never forget. Then the Mekong Delta brought a complete shift in mood. The boat ride was peaceful, the fruit fresh, and the locals welcoming. Watching how coconut candy is made and hearing folk music under the trees made me feel part of something timeless. It was a day of contrast, and it worked beautifully.

Careful guide with great trip - This tour showed me two sides of Vietnam. The tunnels were powerful, tight, dark, little scary and full of stories. I learned a lot about survival and resilience. Then the Mekong Delta brought peace and color. The sampan ride through coconut canals was beautiful, and the locals were so welcoming. It felt like history and harmony in perfect balance.

I have a great day - I started the day crawling through tunnels and ended it floating down quiet canals. The contrast was striking. The guide explained everything clearly, and the transitions between places were smooth. I especially enjoyed the fruit tasting and watching how rice paper is made. This tour gave me both emotion and relaxation, exactly what I hoped for
