    The best trip combined Mekong and cu chi full day

    Great experience and Great Tour! Everything was good and the Best one was our Guide HIEU was full of energy throughout, shedding fascinating light on the history of Ho Chi Minh City with great enthusiasm. The itinerary was impressive as well—effectively squeezing a holiday-long list of activities into the span of just a day. The only drawback was that they were unable to pick us up from—nor send us back to—our hotel,Liberty Central Saigon Riverside Hotel. I loved all the places we went to and would do it again next time

    A great visit to the Cu Chu tunnels and the Mekong Delta

    Lovely place!

    We wish we could even live here! One of our most interesting thing we’ve done in Vietnam trip was Mekong delta day tour after Cu Chi tunnel. We did Cu Chi underground tour in the morning, listened to tour guide told us a lot about Vietnam and war period, got plenty of understanding about how tough but glorious history this country has been through. And immediately right then, a fun driving alongside beautiful Saigon suburbs led us to Mekong river. Got into the small boat, see thousands of things for selling and buying, colourful “floating life” of those kind people, tranquil flow brought us from this to that different surprises! We liked the best the way people live there and we wish we could stay here on those boats for 1 more years to peace our mind out of hustle Chicago. There we go! And we definitely come back to that lovely place, for sure!

    Response from the operator: Dear Mina, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review of your trip with us . I have shared your comments with all of my team. We work very hard to create unforgettable experiences, and to deliver a service which is exceptional, and so it is fantastic to know that we accomplished this. We really do appreciate your wonderful review, and on behalf of the entire team here, would like to thank you for your very kind words. I hope that we will have the chance to welcome you back to our country. Your Sincerely,

    Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Day Tour in Ho Chi Minh City: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.

    How much does Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Day Tour in Ho Chi Minh City cost?

    +

    Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Day Tour in Ho Chi Minh City take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.

    Is Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Day Tour in Ho Chi Minh City worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Day Tour in Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Day Tour in Ho Chi Minh City suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Day Tour in Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Day Tour in Ho Chi Minh City start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cai Be Mekong Delta Tour: Cooking Class, Cycling & Craft Villages, Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta 1 Day Tour With Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
