Short but deeply enriching experience
Only had a few days in Vietnam and this tour fit perfectly. The Cu Chi Tunnels were fascinating—crawling through them really puts things into perspective. The Mekong tour was peaceful, with boat rides, coconut candy, and local life. Free day in Saigon was great for shopping and café hopping. Very smooth service!

Excellent balance of culture and relaxation
The itinerary was just what I wanted—history, nature, and a day for myself to explore. Cu Chi was moving and informative. Loved the Mekong vibe and the small group felt very personal. Everything was handled with care, and the team checked in regularly. Super impressed.

Cu Chi and Mekong in one neat package
This was a solid option for a quick Vietnam intro. Guides were clear and engaging. The Mekong trip was my highlight—cruising under the palms, sipping tea, seeing local crafts. I used the free day to visit the War Remnants Museum and Ben Thanh Market. Great mix!

Bonne organisation, bon rythme
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la visite des tunnels de Cu Chi, c’était très instructif. Le tour dans le delta du Mékong était charmant, très typique. Un jour libre à Hô Chi Minh pour flâner dans la ville était bienvenu. Service impeccable, hôtel propre et bien situé.

Does the Mekong Delta tour involve a lot of boat travel? I get seasick easily and want to know what to expect.

Hi Camille! No worries — the Mekong Delta tour includes short, calm boat rides along narrow canals and the main river, usually on traditional wooden boats. The water is very smooth, and the rides are slow and peaceful, with plenty of stops on land to explore local villages, gardens, and workshops. Most travelers who get seasick on the ocean have no problem at all on this tour!
Is the Cu Chi Tunnels tour physically demanding? I have some knee issues and I'm worried about crawling.

Hi Benjamin! Great question. The Cu Chi Tunnels tour includes a walking tour through the historical area, with the option to crawl through a short section of the tunnels — but it’s completely optional. Many visitors with mobility concerns choose to skip the crawl and still enjoy the outdoor displays, trap demonstrations, and history shared by the guide. You’ll still get a great sense of the site without needing to go underground.
