What you'll see and do
Cu Chi Tunnels
7:30am: Your guide will pick you up from your hotel and transport you to Cu Chi Tunnel in a mini van. The journey will take approximately one and a half hours. As you travel along the road, you will be surrounded by serene rural landscapes, with rice paddies, rivers, ducks, and water buffalos. It may be difficult to imagine the destruction and devastation that once plagued this area due to bombings and mines, when Cu Chi was considered a "Free Target Zone." However, the remnants you will witness in Cu Chi serve as evidence of the fierce battleground that once existed there. Have you ever wondered what it's like to fire an AK-47? By visiting Cu Chi tunnels, you will have the opportunity to find out! In the afternoon, we will depart from Cu Chi and head to My Tho City, a journey of approximately two hours by car. Along the way, we will make a stop at a restaurant for lunch.

Here, you can indulge in tropical fruits, savor honey tea and honey wine, and be enthralled by traditional Vietnamese music performed by the villagers. You will come across a coconut candy shop, where you can learn the art of candy-making and admire various handicrafts created from coconut trees. Taking a leisurely walk through the village, you will encounter a multitude of fruits, flowers, trees, and charming local houses, all while being greeted by the cheerful presence of children in the Mekong Delta.

Thanks Max !
After a somewhat complicated arrival—with a hotel change and rain—I convinced my husband to take this tour. We thought things couldn’t get any worse… but to our surprise, it turned out to be a major highlight of our trip to Vietnam. Even though our hotel was a bit out of the way, they picked us up and dropped us off, which was really helpful for us. Also, seeing that the other participants were in their 30s, we thought they’d rush us through everything and make it stressful, but everything went really smoothly. Our guide, Max, took good care of us, and we were never the last ones. We participated in all the activities, and he made us feel like part of the group. He explained much more than he had to… The food was delicious, the show was beautiful, the canoe and boat rides were great, and of course, the tunnels were super interesting—we learned so much about Vietnam. Thanks, Max!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion 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 Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion 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 Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 245 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion?
+
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 Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion 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 Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion?
+
Around 86 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 Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion 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.
What is included in Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion?
+

Does Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 810 listed pickup locations in and around Ho Chi Minh City. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels Full-Day Excursion?
+

+
