History tour with local flair
This was a wonderful experience! Our guide, My, was very knowledgeable and taught me many things about the history, culture and people of Vietnam. Our driver , Mr Thao, drove us through sheets of rain safely. Thank you both for a great day!
Response from the operator: Xin chào, Maria! Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that your journey to the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta was such a wonderful experience. It’s especially nice to know that My’s knowledge helped you learn more about Vietnam’s history, culture, and people. We’re equally pleased to hear your appreciation for Mr. Thao, who kept you safe and comfortable on the road despite the heavy rain. A great guide and a careful driver can make all the difference on a full-day adventure! We’ll happily pass your kind words on to both My and Mr. Thao. Thank you for traveling with Asiana Link Travel, and we hope to welcome you back for more discoveries in Vietnam. Warm regards, Asiana Link Team

A great tour made more enjoyable by our guide Ethan.
We booked & paid for a small group tour but my wife & I were the only guests with Ethan our tour guide. The content of the trip was excellent but Ethan was sensational. Charming, friendly, open & knowledgeable. He made the trip so much better. 10 hours with him was worth the price of the tour alone. Pick up & drop off worked well. Make sure to ask for Ethan if you can

We’re also glad that the pick-up and drop-off went smoothly and that you found the overall content of the tour excellent. Thank you for choosing Asiana Link Travel and for enthusiastically recommending Ethan to future travelers. We’ll be very happy to share your wonderful feedback with him! Asiana Link Team

Small-Group 1-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Small-Group 1-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta cost?
+
Prices start at $76 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 Small-Group 1-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta 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 Small-Group 1-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 851 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 Small-Group 1-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta?
+
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 Small-Group 1-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta 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 Small-Group 1-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta?
+
Around 298 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 Small-Group 1-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta 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 Small-Group 1-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta?
+

Not included: Gratuities; Soft drinks or Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); Travel insurance; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Small-Group 1-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta include hotel pickup?
+
