Amazing Chu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta tour. - The tour was wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of it. Bottled water, coconut water was provided. Vietnamese Lunch was awesome and the restaurant was enchanting with greenery around. We bought lots of coconut candies at the Candy factory. Tea with fruits were served at another location with live music and local people singing in Vietnamese. The small boat ride was awesome and relaxing. The tour of the Chu Chi tunnels was amazing. Quyen is an excellent tour guide and a great storyteller. She explained in detail about every location and took good care of us. Highly recommend this tour.

A Great Day Out - I fully recommend booking this tour
We had a great day with our fabulous guide Jacky Hieu who was very engaging and knowledgeable on all things about Vietnam
Water is provided on the bus with numerous toilet stops along the way
We where picked up from our hotel with a big welcome from our guide and headed to the Cu Chi tunnels amazing to see as they were all made by hand .
We then headed to the Mekong Delta and had a plentiful lunch of Vietnamese food on one of the islands followed by listening to some folk music and then took a rowing sampan through the small canals ending with our ride home back to our hotel .
During the day you get to visit a workshop of art that is made by special needs people who have been affected by the war and all proceeds help them survive
No pressure to buy
We also visited a coconut candy factory shop
Our tour guide Jacky really made the day telling stories making us laugh
Always happy to take photos or give recommendations on where to go or eat in Vietnam

Nice day trip with a Mini-Bus - I recommend the tour because you can see a lot within little time. Our guide was Binh An. He was friendly and explained a bit about the situation during Vietnam war and the tunnels.The ride was well organized and comfortable. The food is nice - you have to pay for the drinks in the restaurant. Would have loved to learn a bit more about the history of Ho-Chi-Minh City and the Vietnam war - but that’s criticism on a high level. Thanks for taking care about us.
