The tour guide was excellent. He knew his stuff, was entertaining and generally kept the tour running smoothly. I would probably be nervous about using headout to book tours though. I would stick to local companies. I had issues from day one with the app not working, lack of confirmation of the booking, no tickets ever being issued etc, so I wasucky that the tour guide accepted me. Headout did respond, but always too late as they are based in Europe, and I was in Asia.

Guide was very good. Trip thoroughly enjoyed. Only problem was that in the ticket it was mentioned pickup from hotel, but when I contacted the local agency on the night before the trip, they mentioned that pickup won't be possible as it's outside their pickup range. Thankfully I had called her, otherwise I would have missed the trip as I haven't received any confirmation regarding the pickup change.

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.
