Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Full Day from Ho Chi Minh
Approximately 70km away from Ho Chi Minh City's centre, Cu Chi tunnels is one of the most famous historical vestiges of Viet Nam's national liberation war. The network consists of over 200km of tunnels connected with one another like a cobweb. With determination and endurance the tunnels were dug and removed with rudimentary tools, then camouflaged the openings so well that nobody could find them.

Ho Chi Minh Tour Reviews
“3 Generations”
I took my parents back to Vietnam for the first time in over 30 years, along with my own 2 kids for the first time. Kids loved Lee and my parents loved talking to Lee about their old country. He spoke both Vietnamese and English for the kids. Lee was very accommodating, and waited over an hour and a half for us the first day as our plane was late. We ended up taking two tours with Lee over two days...

Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Full Day from Ho Chi Minh
“Great Excursion, Great Guide”
The excursion to the tunnels and the Mekong was very well planned out. Lee did a great job in structuring the excursion ensuring that our group of 4 were well isolated from the many large tour buses also visiting the tunnels. Lee's historical knowledge is excellent. The retelling of his father's stories from when his father was involved fighting for his country were extremely interesting. Lunch in the Mekong was most enjoyable, as was the boat rides and the visit to the coconut candy factory. Thank-you Lee for making the day very memorable.
