One day experience that you’ll never forget
I really liked it because it was cheap and even though it was only my family the operator explained everything in detail and was able to answer every question and go into everything in detail. We saw snakes eating ducks, were able to feed crocodiles, could eat fish and a coconut, drive with a boat. Go into a small tunnel from the military and much more cool things. We went there from 7:30am until 7pm and it was really worth it and I’ll definitely show my family when I grow up.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted you enjoyed the experience and all the exciting activities. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you and your family again someday! 🇻🇳🐊🌴

Great experience
Very Nice. Thoroughly planned and not rushed. Good explanations from the Tour Guide. We were told we are a group of 15, but turned out to only be 4, so it was very enjoyable.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the well-planned tour, the explanations, and the small group experience. Hope to see you again in Vietnam! 🇻🇳

Good experience with rain and wave
It's was good experience for the whole trip starting from our hotel to crawling inside cu chi tunnel then riding the way on Mekong river, feeding crocodile, see how coconut candy was made.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the entire experience, from exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels to cruising along the Mekong River. It’s wonderful that you also enjoyed feeding the crocodiles and learning how traditional coconut candy is made. We appreciate your support and hope to welcome you again on another adventure in Vietnam!

Small Group Cu Chi and Mekong Full Day From Ho Chi Minh City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Small Group Cu Chi and Mekong Full Day From Ho Chi Minh City cost?
+
Prices start at $32 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 Cu Chi and Mekong Full Day From Ho Chi Minh City take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Cu Chi and Mekong Full Day From Ho Chi Minh City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Small Group Cu Chi and Mekong Full Day From Ho Chi Minh City?
+
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 Cu Chi and Mekong Full Day From Ho Chi Minh City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group Cu Chi and Mekong Full Day From Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Around 3 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Cu Chi and Mekong Full Day From Ho Chi Minh City 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.
