    Book this tour!

    We had a great time visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. Our guide Eric was nice, fun and most informative and his grasp of English was fine. Driver did a good job also and we were able to customise the tour and decide where to spend more time in both places following Eric’s advice. Lunch and entrance fees are included. It is a long day so do not make plans for the afternoon! A great option to cover the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong in one day if you do not have much time in Ho Chi Minh. 100% recommended.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing our tour service, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

    Five stars

    We went on the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour with Mekong Silt Tour and it was AWESOME! Our guide was so cool and knew everything about the places we visited. He made the tour really fun and entertaining. We got to see the Cu Chi Tunnels, which were super interesting and we learned a lot about the war. Then we went to the Mekong Delta, which was so beautiful and peaceful. We took a boat ride, visited a fruit farm, and tried some yummy local food. I had the best time on this tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. The guide and program were both awesome and I give it five stars.

    Amazing day

    We had the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour with Eric as our guide and it was absolutely fantastic! Eric was a lovely guide who was very knowledgeable about the history of the tunnels and the culture of the Mekong Delta. He made the tour informative and fun at the same time. The Cu Chi Tunnels were an incredible experience, and Eric's explanations made it easy to understand the importance of these tunnels in the Vietnam War. The boat ride in the Mekong Delta was beautiful, and we got to see a side of Vietnam that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Eric was also very flexible and made sure we got to try some of the delicious local food. I would highly recommend this tour and Eric as a guide. He made the experience unforgettable, and I learned so much about Vietnam's history and culture. Thank you for an amazing day.

    It was a satisfying day

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Cuchi Tunnels and Mekong Delta in just one day. Let me start by saying that the tour was exceptionally well-arranged, and the timing was spot-on. We started early, around 7 am, which allowed us to avoid the crowds and enjoy the attractions without feeling rushed. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the Cuchi Tunnels. It was a fascinating experience to learn about the history and significance of these underground tunnels, which were used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. The guide was knowledgeable and provided us with interesting insights into the lives of the soldiers who used these tunnels. After the tunnels, we made our way to the Mekong Delta, where we were treated to delicious food and fruit. The area was beautiful and tranquil, providing the perfect setting for relaxation after the excitement of the tunnels. The tour ended on a high note, leaving us feeling thoroughly satisfied with our day.

    Wonderful day with fantastic guide

    Our tour guide, Mr. Eric, was absolutely fantastic! In just one day, he provided us with so much information about Vietnam that this tour easily became the most interesting one I took throughout my entire trip. He made the tour fun and engaging the entire time, and the day passed by so quickly that I was amazed at how much we managed to cover. If you're visiting Ho Chi Minh, I highly recommend this tour to anyone. The Cu Chi tunnels are a must-see, but I also enjoyed the combination day tour as I had limited time in the area and wanted to see both. Thank you, Mr. Eric, for being an excellent tour guide!

    Private Tour: Best of Cu Chi Tunnels and 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 Private Tour: Best of Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta - Full Day cost?

    +

    Prices start at $138 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 Private Tour: Best of Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta - Full Day take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Private Tour: Best of Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta - Full Day worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 Private Tour: Best of Cu Chi Tunnels and 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 Private Tour: Best of Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta - Full Day suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Best of Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta - Full Day?

    +

    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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour: Best of Cu Chi Tunnels and 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 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.
