Amazing experience with Vietnam Adventure Tours!
We had a wonderful experience on our Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour today. A big thank you to our tour guide, Ben, and driver, Hoang. Ben was knowledgeable, engaging and passionate about sharing the history of the Cu Chi Tunnels. We learned so much throughout the day, and his explanations helped bring the history to life. He was also friendly, patient and made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you as well to Hoang for getting us safely and comfortably between destinations. The itinerary was well-paced and gave us a deeper appreciation of Vietnam’s history, culture and local life. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City.

Must experience the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta
This trip was very good. Our guide Ben was fantastic from the time we got picked up at the hotel to the time we returned. Ben was very informative with all the history regarding the Chu Chi tunnels. Then we had a Vietnamese lunch, which was lovely after lunch. We headed to the Mekong Delta, we they’re taken by took took to visit a village where re-experienced some cultural singing and fruit then we headed off on the weekend on Delta in a boat. We returned via a boat to our driver where we had another two hour drive to return to Ho Chi Minh City. Our driver Huong was very good. He got us there and back safely. I recommend doing this tour.

Discover Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Full-Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Discover Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Full-Day cost?
+
Prices start at $27 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 Discover Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Full-Day take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Discover Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Full-Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,377 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Full-Day?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Full-Day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Full-Day?
+
Around 482 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Full-Day 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.
