About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- JalynCa9080 contributionsFive stars for everythingWe are a family of four and chose this tour because it was our second time traveling with this company. We were once again thrilled with our choice. The tour was quite long, a full day, but it was definitely worth it. The scenery from the top of the mountain, with the flower garden and Buddha statue, was stunning. Lunch was excellent, with vegetarian options as requested. The highlight of the tour was definitely the tunnels. We had an amazing time as a family. Five stars for everything!Written 11 September 2024
- Foodeveloper0 contributionsGreat Thuan to cu chi tunnelsFirstly, it was very good value for money. Secondly, the tour guide, Thuan, was excellent. His English may not be the best, but he tried & succeeded like a hero! Thirdly, I'm really impressed by the efficiency & organisation...again, this can be attributed to Thuan. I've been on many such tours to mekong, cu chi tunnels, etc bringing guests & family who visit when I'm in HCMC. This one significantly left me feeling that we got our money's worth. Congratulations & keep up the good work!Written 11 September 2024
- Manti990 contributionsAwesome tourAwesome trio with an Eric as an excellent guide who spoke excellent English and full of humour . The places were awesome .Written 13 June 2024
- harryn4890 contributionsIt was a perfect choiceHad a blast at Cu Chi Tunnels and Ba Den Mountain! The tunnels were like discovering a secret world, and our guide was so into it. Ba Den Mountain's view was stunning. Five stars for a trip that mixed cool history with a super fun guide!Written 8 January 2024
- marishae20180 contributionsBest Tour of the TripOur guide Phat was absolutely amazing!! We had such a great day. Everything that was listed was included and Phat was so informative. We visited a lacquer facility that had those affected by agent orange doing the artwork. We then went to the Cao Dai Temple and were able to watch them worshiping. After that we had a fantastic lunch then we headed to the mountain. We even stopped for coffee on the way to the temple at our request. The day was perfect we are so glad we booked the tour.Written 25 September 2023
- Kaycee C0 contributionsAmazing tour with our guide, Tony!This is the perfect private tour exploring the communities along the Mekong Delta! Our tour guide, Tony, was very hospitable, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made our tour very comfortable and fun with many different activities throughout the day. We were picked up promptly, was given cold water and enjoyed a comfortable ride in a clean SUV. Tony was so engaging during the car ride to the Mekong Delta by showing us a map of Vietnam and having conversation about the facts and history of the country. We really enjoyed our conversation. On our way to Mekong Delta, we stopped by a pagoda where Tony shared with us the 3 different Buddhas and their meanings. We then went through the town of My Tho where Tony gave us historical background. Even though it rained, Tony was great at keeping the timing and our safety in mind. We enjoyed our boat ride over to the first island where we enjoyed fresh fruit while listening to traditional live music. We then went to see how coconut candy was made and tasted honey bee tea, banana chips and peanut candy. We took a boat ride to another island where we enjoyed a delicious meal by the river. 5/5 for the lunch where they served a whole fried elephant ear fish and rolled up 4 fresh spring rolls using the fish meat in front of us. We also enjoyed shrimp directly from the Mekong. Afterwards, we were able to work off our lunch with a 20 min bike ride throughout the communities. Perfect way to end the tour. We really enjoyed our experience and have to thank Tony and our driver, Victory, for making it a smooth and fun experience. Highly recommend this private tour from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta!Written 14 September 2023
- sheejies0 contributionsA great experience!Our tour guide, Phat, was wonderful! He is friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Phat constantly engaged with us to ensure our trip was enjoyable and memorable. I travelled with my mother, who is above 60 years old, and we had a great time with him. If Phat is your tour guide, you know you're in good hands!Written 2 July 2023
- thanonl0 contributionsAmazing dayAmazing day with Harry to Cuchi Tunnel and Top of Mountain. Our tour was perfect. Harry was so kindly and informative knowledge. The tunnels in Ben duoc was highlight which was not crowded. Really highly recommend.Written 24 April 2023
- M9427GUsusana0 contributionsGreat tour and guideGreat tour with a good guide and well-planned program. The Cu Chi Tunnels were fascinating and the Mekong Delta was beautiful. Highly recommend!Written 5 April 2023
- JamieTC1710 contributionsExcellent Full-Day TourOur family of four (kids 10 & 11 years old) had a great time on this tour. Our only difficulty seems to be in deciding which part was our favorite. Every part was interesting and provided historical and cultural context but also interactive and kept our kids interested. The cable car and mountain experience is absolutely beautiful. Tony is a wonderful guide. His English is excellent and he is always helpful with photos.Written 14 March 2023
- lenkaa1100 contributionsGood tourMy family and I had a wonderful experience with this agency. We visited tunnels and had an impressive time learning about their history, and spent a short time exploring them. The cable car ride to the top of the mountain was amazing, offering beautiful views of the flowers and the Big Buddha. We enjoyed the tour immensely.Written 13 March 2023
- christiona20230 contributionsInteresting dayI went on a tour with Mekong Silt Travel to the Mekong Delta and had an amazing cycling experience through the beautiful coconut plantations in Ben Tre. Our tour guide was fantastic and the scenery was breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of the region.Written 11 March 2023
- selamat980 contributionsA truly unforgettable experienceI had the pleasure of taking a day tour that included a cable car ride to the top of a mountain, as well as visits to the Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Temple. It was an absolutely fantastic experience that I won't soon forget! We started the day with a visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels, which was a truly eye-opening experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of information about the tunnels and their role in the war. We even got to go inside the tunnels ourselves, which was a unique and exhilarating experience. Next, we visited the beautiful and serene Cao Dai Temple, where we learned about the unique beliefs and practices of the religion. The temple was incredibly ornate and colorful, and it was a pleasure to take in all the sights and sounds. But the highlight of the day for me was definitely the cable car ride to the top of the mountain. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the ride itself was an adventure in its own right. Once we reached the top, we were able to hike around and take in the stunning views from every angle. The combination of history, culture, and natural beauty made for a truly unforgettable experience. And of course, the cable car ride to the top of the mountain was an absolute must-see.Written 11 March 2023
- christiona20230 contributionsWell- organized tourI recently took the Cu Chi Tunnels, Cao Dai Temple, and Black Mountain tour in Vietnam, and it exceeded all of my expectations. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, providing excellent commentary throughout the tour. The Cu Chi Tunnels were a truly unique and impressive experience that gave me a new appreciation for the resourcefulness and bravery of the Vietnamese soldiers. The Cao Dai Temple was a serene and colorful place that showcased the country's vibrant spiritual traditions. The Black Mountain cable car ride was a highlight of the day, offering breathtaking views of the stunning Vietnamese countryside. The tour was well-organized, with comfortable transportation and ample time to explore each attraction.Written 11 March 2023
- JalynCa9080 contributionsIncredible experience day tourI had the opportunity to take a tour of Cu Chi Tunnels, Cao Dai Temple, and the mountain, and it was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend to everyone visiting Vietnam. The Cu Chi Tunnels were the highlight of the tour for me. It was fascinating to see how the Viet Cong used the tunnels to outsmart their enemies during the war. The guide provided an informative tour of the tunnels, and it was amazing to see the traps, underground living quarters, and weapons used during that time. The Cao Dai Temple was also a unique experience. It's a colorful and vibrant temple that showcases the Cao Dai religion. The guide provided a good explanation of the religion and its practices, and it was great to see the different representations of different religions in one place. Finally, the mountain was a pleasant surprise. We took the cable car to the top, and the view was breathtaking. We could see the entire region from the top, and it was truly amazing. I learned so much about Vietnam's history and culture and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the countryWritten 10 March 2023

Our tour guide, Mr. Eric, was absolutely fantastic! In just one day, he provided us with so much information about Vietnam that this tour easily became the most interesting one I took throughout my entire trip. He made the tour fun and engaging the entire time, and the day passed by so quickly that I was amazed at how much we managed to cover. If you're visiting Ho Chi Minh, I highly recommend this tour to anyone. The Cu Chi tunnels are a must-see, but I also enjoyed the combination day tour as I had limited time in the area and wanted to see both. Thank you, Mr. Eric, for being an excellent tour guide!

This tour is perfect for those who have limited time but want to visit two of the most popular attractions in Vietnam. Phong ,our tour guide, was exceptional - he was not only informative and entertaining, but he also made good use of visual aids to help us appreciate the rich culture and history of Vietnam and its people. Erik and Tony , the tour operators, were also very accommodating to our needs throughout the entire tour. They made sure that we were comfortable and well-informed. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the best of Vietnam in a short amount of time.

Harry was impeccably presented and had a wealth of fascinating information on the tour. He was both friendly and knowledgeable, sharing personal insights from his family that added an extra layer of depth to the experience. The tour around the tunnels was truly eye-opening and sobering, but vital for understanding the history. We're grateful for Harry's efforts in making our tour a fantastic day out

We visited Ho Chi Minh City for just four days and decided to join a tour, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The day was quite long, starting at 7am and finishing at around 6pm, but there were many fun and interesting things to do. The highlight of the tour was the tunnels, which we were excited to explore. Fortunately, it was not too crowded when we arrived. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history of the tunnels and shared some interesting stories about the war. The Mekong Delta was also beautiful, with plenty of delicious fruits and food. Overall, we had a great time on the tour.

We had the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour with Eric as our guide and it was absolutely fantastic! Eric was a lovely guide who was very knowledgeable about the history of the tunnels and the culture of the Mekong Delta. He made the tour informative and fun at the same time.
The Cu Chi Tunnels were an incredible experience, and Eric's explanations made it easy to understand the importance of these tunnels in the Vietnam War. The boat ride in the Mekong Delta was beautiful, and we got to see a side of Vietnam that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Eric was also very flexible and made sure we got to try some of the delicious local food.
I would highly recommend this tour and Eric as a guide. He made the experience unforgettable, and I learned so much about Vietnam's history and culture. Thank you for an amazing day.

We had a beautiful day with Erik exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong River. The program was very flexible and well-timed. We started at 7am and fortunately, the places we visited were not crowded. The tunnels were amazing, and we had the opportunity to explore long and narrow tunnels. The Mekong River was great with a small private boat, and rowing through the coconut canals was perfect.

We went on the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong River tour in one day and really enjoyed it. The entire tour was private, so we didn't have to wait for any services. We had plenty of time to explore the Cu Chi Tunnels in the morning, and the experience was quite immersive. Later, the Mekong Delta boat trip was fantastic, and we also enjoyed a local music performance and had some fruit. Overall, it was a great day and we highly recommend the tour
