Amazing Tour Guide
We did this tour with Khanh. The tour was very well planned out, and he did an amazing job of coordinating. Khan was friendly, understanding, patient and knowledgeable. We really appreciated having such an amazing tour guide for this experience.
via Tripadvisor
Wonderful way to see two special places in one trip.
This is one of the few tours that offer both the floating market and the Cu Chi tunnels. Great breakfast experience at the floating market and wonderful lunch at a restaurant. Very happy with the air conditioning in the car considering how hot and humid it was. Our tour guide, Chloe, and the driver were very warm and friendly. Would recommend this tour if you want to see both places.

Full day tour with Khanh
We had a very enjoyable day out with our tour guide Khanh. He was very knowledgable and explained the history and facts about the Mekong markets and Cu Chi Tunnels. We had a comfortable vehicle with air conditioning and got breakfast and lunch in local spots.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Saigon: Mekong Day Tour with Floating Market &Cu Chi Tunnels: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does From Saigon: Mekong Day Tour with Floating Market &Cu Chi Tunnels cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 From Saigon: Mekong Day Tour with Floating Market &Cu Chi Tunnels take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 From Saigon: Mekong Day Tour with Floating Market &Cu Chi Tunnels worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Saigon: Mekong Day Tour with Floating Market &Cu Chi Tunnels?
+
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 From Saigon: Mekong Day Tour with Floating Market &Cu Chi Tunnels suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Saigon: Mekong Day Tour with Floating Market &Cu Chi Tunnels?
+
Around 11 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Saigon: Mekong Day Tour with Floating Market &Cu Chi Tunnels 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 Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. 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.
