This is an experience not to be missed. Our guide, Dragon King, was wonderful. He speaks perfect English and showed us a side of southern Vietnam we didn't know existed.

My tour was scheduled on Mar/08 but due to unforeseen reasons I called up the tour operator to have it rescheduled and they didn’t hesitate a bit to do it free of charge . Today’s Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels tour with Nicole was an absolute highlight of my Vietnam trip. Her boundless energy kept the group excited from the boat rides through lush delta canals to crawling through the historic Cu Chi tunnels. Cu Chi Tunnels Adventure At the tunnels, her lively storytelling brought Vietnam War history to life, explaining the 250km network while encouraging safe exploration and even range shooting. Nicole ensured everyone felt comfortable, patiently answering questions with a big smile. Mekong delta Nicole’s enthusiasm shone as she led us on sampan boats past Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise Islands, sharing fun facts about local life and stopping at a coconut candy workshop for tastings. Do buy Candies from this local community and support them .

The Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels looked like a long distance to cover in one day on the map. While the travel time was indeed long, the tour was packed with activities and very enjoyable. Our tour guide, Nolan, kept the energy high throughout the day, making it a memorable and fun experience.

Had an amazing day exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta! Our tour guide, DragonKing, was outstanding—his thoroughness, deep knowledge, and passion for Vietnam’s history made every stop incredibly meaningful. He explained everything in such an engaging way and made sure our group was comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. The experience was both educational and fun, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for the culture and history here. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have DragonKing as your guide!

We had a great experience visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels. It was amazing how much we were able to see and learn in such a short amount of time. If we had tried to do this on our own, it would have taken much more time and effort, so the tour was very convenient for us. The price was also very reasonable for the experience. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the history of the tunnels, which made the visit even more meaningful. Our tour guide, Leo, was also very good. he even contacted us the day before the trip to make sure everything was clear and well organized. Also, gave us restaurant and shopping place recommendations. Bonus points as well for the hotel pick-up and drop-off, which made the whole experience even more convenient and hassle-free. Overall, it was a smooth, informative, and enjoyable tour. 😊

When you explore the Cu Chi Tunnels Vietnam, you’re not just walking through history—you’re crawling through it.
