This tour was really well-organised and smooth and Dragon was an excellent guide! The Mekong Delta was the highlight for me and the tunnels were interesting too (but not great if you are claustrophobic!) The only part of the tour I didn't like was when we had to sit and wait listening to guns firing for quite a long time while some people were shooting at the shooting range

Experience Vietnam’s past and present on a full-day tour of Cu Chi Tunnels (Ben Dinh site) and the Mekong Delta, with hotel transfers and expert guidance.

Cruise the Tien River on motorized and rowing boats, visiting local workshops, tropical orchards, and villages along the way.

Enjoy a live Vietnamese folk music performance and a traditional lunch at a riverside restaurant.

Choose between a shared tour (up to 22 guests) or a private one for a more exclusive, flexible experience.

Went with my two teenagers and honestly, even the sassy one was totally hooked. The tunnels are WILD (like, why is it so tiny??) and our guide, Minh, was so patient with everyone’s random questions. Pro tip: wear old clothes—you WILL get dusty crawling around. Wish we’d brought more water, but there’s a little shop halfway. Would do it again!

Explore two distinct sides of Vietnam—its wartime resilience and rural charm—on this immersive full-day guided tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta.

Getting started

Get picked up from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and settle in for a 90-minute drive to the Cu Chi Tunnels’ Ben Dinh site.

Cu Chi Tunnels

Start with a short film that introduces the tunnel network and its role during the Vietnam War. Then, explore the preserved underground maze—complete with living quarters, field hospitals, weapons storage, and booby traps once used by the Viet Cong. Wrap up your visit with a tasting of cassava and tea, a staple for soldiers who lived here during the war.

Lunch break

Enjoy a traditional Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant before heading south toward the Mekong Delta.

Mekong Delta exploration

Cruise along the Tien River, passing Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise Islands. Visit a coconut candy workshop, enjoy seasonal fruits and honey tea, and learn about Delta life. Take a rowing boat through narrow canals and hop on a short village bike ride to see daily rural life up close.

Folk music & return

Wind down with a live performance of Southern Vietnamese folk music before making your way back to Ho Chi Minh City.

What to bring

Wear comfortable shoes, as the terrain is rugged, and bring sunglasses, insect repellent, and a sun hat.

Bring small bags or backpacks, as large items may hinder movement through the tunnels.

What’s not allowed

Smoking is not allowed inside the tunnels.

Accessibility

The experience is not wheelchair and pram/stroller accessible.

This experience is not suitable for guests with mobility issues and claustrophobia as the terrain is uneven and the tunnels are very narrow.

Additional information

Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
