Itinerary
- 1Your guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel and after leaving Hồ Chí Minh City, we drive about 1,5 hours through the pleasant countryside before arriving at Bến Dược tunnels, Củ Chi. We may stop along the way for refreshments and toilet. • Upon arrival, you’ll watch a brief of propaganda video, which explains how the tunnels were used to successfully defeat American military forces in combat. • The tour continues and the guide explains some traps that were placed in the jungles of Việt Nam to either maim American soldiers or create panic amongst the ranks. • From here, you can enter one of the tunnel entrances and crawl through the tunnels is a real experience to imagine how people could live there for an extended period! • Take some rest at the end for a taste of Củ Chi boiled tapioca and thinking what humans are capable of when having to defend their home. We drive back to Hồ Chí Minh city. At the end of your morning tour, you will have 2 options: • Option 1: Drop you back to the pick-up point. • Option 2: We can take you to a local restaurant in the city center, where you can enjoy a complimentary Vietnamese three-course lunch, and then make your own leisurely way back to your place.

- ryanpE9994FO0 contributionsIt was a long but unforgettable day in Da Nang!I arrived at the cable car station around 9:30 AM, joining a lively crowd of fellow travelers. By 10 AM, I was thrilled to reach the first part of the hill. Walking across the stunning Golden Bridge was a highlight-I couldn't get enough of the incredible views and snapped plenty of photos. Exploring the charming French garden added to the magic of the day. Lunch was another treat, with a delicious buffet offering a variety of flavors that truly represented the local cuisine buffet offering a variety of flavors that truly represented the local cuisine. Our tour guide was fantastic, with a bubbly personality that made the experience even better. She encouraged us to explore freely while ensuring everyone was comfortable, especially an elderly woman who felt uneasy during the cable car ride. Her kindness really stood out and made the day all the more special!Written 24 October 2024
- M8315FNlukeg0 contributionsThe tour was an unforgettable experience, especially since the Golden Bridge had always been at the top of my travel wisThe transfer was smooth, and seeing the bridge in person was breathtaking-something photos can’t capture. The buffet lunch was a pleasant surprise, offering a variety of dishes from different cuisines. Sun World, with its magical atmosphere and stunning attractions, felt like a city floating in the sky. Ba Na Hills exceeded all expectations. There was so much to explore, and although time was short, we made the most of it. Our guide was enthusiastic and full of helpful insights, which added to the experience. Seeing the kids have such a great time was a highlight for me, too. Overall, its was worth every moment and every penny, and we left with unforgettable memories.Written 23 October 2024
- harig3150 contributionsWe had a great time on the Mekong River tour. This tour is a must-do!The tour was an amazing experience that I couldn’t have planned on my own. Everything, from the pick-up time to the location, was carefully arranged. The guide was full of energy, making it fun to connect with other travelers, and I enjoyed meeting people from different countries. Even though it was hot, the activities were so engaging that the day passed quickly. The lunch, with fish and rice, was delicious! Our evening BBQ was such a fun and memorable experience. We all gathered to cook delicious food together, and the atmosphere was perfect with everyone enjoying the meal under the stars. Earlier in the day, we took part in a cooking class Lunch with several nice choices of delicious local tasty food, Especially Fish and Xeo cake…It was a great hands-on activity, and the food turned out amazing! We also had a blast kayaking on the calm waters, which gave us a chance to take in the beautiful surroundings. Later, we tried our hand at fishing, which was relaxing and exciting at the same time. Biking around the area was another highlight-it allowed us to explore more of the local scenery and enjoy the fresh air. Overall, each activity added something special to our day, and I would love to do it all again!Written 3 October 2024
- kiranlivz0 contributionsAwesome tourGreat tour, awesome trip! Guide was good and we had an awesome time. French village is awesome, must spend more time. Lots of activities for kidsWritten 27 April 2024
- Kevin W0 contributionsNice trip, let down by transportThis is a really good trip, the cable car, the views, the amount to do at the top is really good. Our trip did start badly, an hour late to pick up, we got a phone call 25 minutes after agreed time to ask if we were coming today, when I said yes we were waiting in lobby he said he'd be 10 minutes, it was another 30 minutes before he arrived. I texted there office but have never received a reply. The first stop at the marble shop was not needed, the extra hour at Ba Na hills would of been better. Also the buffet lunch is horrendously busy! Nothing I had was remotely warm. There are so many other eating options at the top I would not recommend the buffet.Written 24 April 2024
- 928parthr0 contributionsABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDABLEThe guide was lovely. He told us about all the spots and carried a group flag for us. We enjoyed up a lot. It's hard to describe it all in words but he was very informational and humurous.Written 21 April 2024

- TracyK10960 contributionsSee how the locals liveThis was an amazing trip. The highlight was the stay at Tiny Family Garden. We rode bikes around the village and saw farmers at work. Had cooking classes and also planted rice and caught fish to truly immerse ourselves into the life style! In the morning we set off and watched sunrise over rice fields, eating pomelo and i took a bottle of champers as it was my birthday. The owner Mr Hue was a fantastic host surprising me with a beautiful birthday cake and flowers! Food provided at accom was so tasty and fresh. We went into the local village and drank coffee with the locals and had the tastiest pho of all our trip for our breakfast. The rooms are air-conditioned with shower and toilet. Our tour guide Son was very knowledgeable and warm and friendly.Written 19 December 2023

- davidaN392MP0 contributionsIt’s very worthwhile and memorable. i will recommend it to friends and come back again.The 2D1N trip at Tiny Garden homestay was an amazing experience that allowed us to delve deeper into the local culture of the Mekong Delta. The serene scenery of the river complemented our delightful BBQ dinner, creating a picturesque setting as we relished a top-notch meal. Engaging in local activities like fishing enabled us to connect with the lives of local people and gain a better understanding of their daily routines. The stunning sunset served as a backdrop, painting the sky with enchanting hues as we unwound from the day’s adventures. The second dayc cycling along the stunning canals of the Mekong Delta was a tranquil experience, offering glimpses into the vibrant local life and the breathtaking landscape the region boasts. Overall, the 2-day journey was a perfect blend of cultural immersion and natural beauty, leaving us with unforgettable memories of the captivating Mekong Delta.Written 14 December 2023
- orchardsa20230 contributionsUnforgettable and An Exquisite Blend of Culture and Adventure.I highly recommend the 2-day-1-night Mekong Delta tour from Ho Chi Minh City to anyone visiting for the first time. The perfect blend of history, culture, and adventure is worth every penny. Our guide, engaging and knowledgeable, shared deep insights into his homeland and local customs. Throughout the tour, we engaged in various activities, including visits to Unicorn Island, Thoi Son Island, and Vinh Trang Pagoda. Experiencing the bee farm, coconut candy workshop, tropical fruit gardens, and Southern folk music was memorable. Rowing through the small canals was an enjoyable experience. Rowing through the small canals was an enjoyable experience. The tour’s highlight was enjoying a BBQ dinner beside the Tien River. On the second day, cycling through fruit orchards, rice paddies, immersing in serene and beautiful landscapes, and interacting with local people made this day particularly special. Don’t miss this unforgettable opportunity to explore, learn, and have fun while visiting Ho Chi Minh City.Written 12 December 2023

unforgetable tour. Our guide Peter was awesome. Learned a lot about the war and tunnels and that was exactly what I was looking forward to. Peter was the perfect guide for this tour. He is an upbeat and knowledgeable individual who knows a lot about Vietnam’s history. Private cu chi tunnels was great, he handled everyone very professionally 😀 I thoroughly enjoyed my trip and would recommend this experience and Peter to anyone who is keen to explore the cu chi tunnels!

Normally I'm always scared of narrow and small space. So when I was introduced this group tour from a friend, I was hesitating. Then my bf encourage me to give it a try. And it turned out we had such a very awesome experience with our tour guide Kien. The tunnel is really really exclusive and creative. It helped me to imagine how smart Vietnammese people are. It's helpful to understand Vietnammese history as well.

We had a great and very informative day discovering the tunnels of Cu Chi! Our guide Theo was very energetic and took the time to explain Vietnam's history vividly without losing his sense of humour! A great day of discovery and respect for all the people who lost their lives in the numerous wars that took place in this country. Not to be missed!
