History packed day - An excellent tour with a fabulous guide Max. We heard and learned so much about the tunnels and the history of this country. The trip to the Mekong deltas was a contrast to the tunnels & again enjoyable. Its a long day with 2 hrs travel between locations but well worth it. Thank you Max for a great day and sharing your knowledge.

Wonderfull and interesting day trip to Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta from HoChiMinh City - A very fulfilling and interesting day. Our experience commenced with a punctual pick up from our hotel and a journey first to a lacquer ware studio where the works are produced by handicapped people who are victims of Agent Orange. The works are of very high standard and many in our group were tempted to purchase them. From there we headed to the Cu Chi Tunnels, where our excellent guide Max truly set the tone for the day. Knowledgeable, sympathetic and wonderfully friendly, Max brought Vietnam's history to life with depth and passion, sharing detailed facts about the extent, history and varied use of the tunnels across the war years. His warm personality fostered a great group dynamic from the very start. A highlight not to be underestimated was the opportunity to crawl through the tunnels yourself. It is a dense, claustrophobic experience that makes the hardship and human endurance of that era feel viscerally real in a way that words alone simply cannot convey. Lunch was served at a restaurant right at the Cu Chi site and was absolutely delicious, with all dietary requirements catered for. The relaxed setting over a shared meal sparked interesting conversations within the group — a natural and enjoyable extension of the morning's experience. All entry fees and expenses were included in the one fee, which made everything feel effortlessly well organised. Then came the long drive to the Mekong Delta — and what a reward it was. A boat crossing brought us to a typical organic farm where we were welcomed by genuinely lovely people and treated to a traditional dance performance that was both charming and memorable. The farm offered a fascinating glimpse into local production, with chocolate made entirely by hand in the most non-industrial way imaginable, a wonderful variety of coconut products, and the rather adventurous rice wine with snake — not for the faint-hearted, but certainly an experience. We then continued to see the manufacturing of coconut sweets of great variety and flavour before boarding small row boats for a peaceful journey along the river, surrounded by water coconut trees. The Mekong Delta boat trip was simply wonderful. Back across the Mekong to our bus, which transported us quickly and safely back to our accommodation. It was a long day — from 7.10 am to around 5.30 pm — but every hour was filled with something meaningful, beautiful or thought-provoking. A great and truly interesting experience, all round. Can just recommend it!

Fun times exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta - We had an incredible day with Tony (Tue) as our tour guide! He took us to the Cu Chi Tunnels, where we learned so much about Vietnam’s history and even had the chance to explore parts of the tunnel system ourselves. Tony explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and kept the experience engaging and meaningful. After that, we headed down to the Mekong Delta, which was such a beautiful and relaxing contrast to the morning. We enjoyed a peaceful rowing boat ride with local villagers, surrounded by lush greenery and calm waterways — it felt authentic and unforgettable. The food was absolutely delicious, and the whole day was filled with laughter, good conversation, and great memories with friends. Tony truly made the experience special. He was knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and made sure we were comfortable and having a great time from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City!

Excellent experience and guidr - Last week we went on the Cu Chi tunnels + Mekong tour with tour guide Max. I must tell you that my wife and I found Max to be an excellent guide. Let me explain: -Max’s English is good -Max taught us about the locations -Max taught us about the history of Vietnam -Max drew pictures on the ground to help us learn (maps)(I am a retired teacher. I often used pictures and visuals to help my students) -Max took photos and videos and shared them with us We have taken many tours in many locations around the world. Max is one of the best tour guides we have worked with. We will leave Vietnam smarter because Max was our “teacher”. Thank you. Crawling in the tunnels was a great experience. My wife & I were the oldest in our group of 6 in the vehicle and we crawled the longest length of all.

Tour and lovely guide Max are amazing - Our tour was full, we first went to the tunnels, then to the Mekong Delta, and had lunch in between. (Vegan and Muslim options are available) Our guide, dear Max, kept us alive throughout the day with his wonderful narration, endless energy and smile. I highly recommend choosing Max as your guide for those who will join this tour.

Cu chi is nice, Mekong delta is not - The driver and the guide are very nice, nice and confortable car. The cu chi tunnels is very nice, very interesting, but after the tour, the lunch is there, at 11 in the morning. It was not nice. The Mekong delta tour is a complete tourist trap, terrible.
