Tour stars approximately at 7:45AM to 6:40PM - This VIP Day Tour from Ho Chi Minh City with Transfers by Limousine allows you to experience the history, culture, and natural beauty of Southern Vietnam in just one day. Around 7:45am, get picked up from your hotel in center of Ho Chi Minh City and head to Cu Chi Tunnels. After 1.5 hours ride, we arrive at the tunnels where you will get a chance to learn about the fascinating history and significance of the tunnels during the Vietnam War. You will have the opportunity to crawl distances through the tunnels, and witness the intricate network of underground tunnels and traps that played a significant role in the war. You can also try your hand at shooting some of the old rifles used during the war. After exploring the tunnels, we'll head to a local restaurant for lunch to try some of the delicious local Vietnamese cuisine (vegan food available)
After lunch, we'll head to My Tho - the heart of the Mekong Delta region. You'll get a glimpse into the daily life of the locals as we take a boat ride down the Mekong River, where you can enjoy the picturesque scenery of the surrounding countryside. We will then take a sampan ride through the small waterways with coconut palms lining both sides, where you can experience the rural lifestyle. Stop by at the bee house to watch locals perform traditional music while savoring fresh tropical fruits and honey tea. We'll wrap up our day tour and head back to Ho Chi Minh City in the late afternoon, where we'll drop you off at your hotel around 6:50pm. This is a unique opportunity to experience some of the best Southern Vietnam has to offer, with a mix of history, culture, and natural beauty all in one day.

Nothing extraordinary…
The standard tourist program… Beautiful river cruise, exciting tunnel system. Few background information from the guide. Too many shops, relatively old vehicle.
The guide was...
The guide was exceptional. He was friendly and informative. The tour was as described. Pick up and drop from hotel went smoothly.
Cu Chi Tunnels/ Mekong nice combination.
This tour combined the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong River. Our tour guide “Tom” (Cruise) was very informative and attentive. This itinerary included a lot of little pit stops along the way demonstrating how things were made and of course everything is for sale. The distance between the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong River is kind of far so although your in a fairly comfortable limo bus the amount of time you’ll be in it is lengthy roughly 4 hours.
Cu Chi and Mekong Delta
I recently went on a tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong River, and our guide, Chloe, was absolutely brilliant. She was incredibly insightful, sharing detailed stories about the history of the tunnels, the resilience of the people, and the significance of the Mekong in daily life. Chloe’s ability to explain the historical context while keeping the group engaged made the experience deeply memorable. Her knowledge and passion really brought the sites to life, whether we were crawling through the narrow tunnels or cruising along the river. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a meaningful and informative day trip—Chloe’s guidance made it exceptional.
