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!

Took the morning tour. Pick up was ON TIME (rare for group tours imo). Our guide, Duy, was a legend—answered all my weird questions about the traps. The shooting range nearby is LOUD so maybe bring earplugs if ur sensitive. Got some cool pics outside but you can’t take photos once you’re crawling inside.

Went solo and ended up chatting with folks from Chile and Canada—funny how travel works. Tunnels blew my mind. The guide (can’t remember her name, sorry!) had stories from her granddad that made it feel real. Bring bug spray for the walk through the woods. Absolute highlight for me!

The experience itself was super interesting, but felt a bit rushed at some points. Our guide Bao knew LOTS and made sure everyone could hear (even with the big group). If you’re claustrophobic, maybe skip the crawling bit. Still, learned a ton—def worth it.

We booked last min with friends and got lucky there were spots left. Tunnels were smaller than I thought! Guide told us to try the cassava snack—kinda bland but fun to try once. Would’ve liked more time at each stop, but overall great insight into history.

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.
