    Tour was awesome, got to see it all in a day! Simon was an excellent tour guide, keeping the group moving punctual that we could see everything and move ahead of other groups to avoid crowds. He was also knowledgeable to share facts, keep fun conversation, while also not overdoing it that it didn't feel like a lecture. Totally recommend this tour if you want to see the tunnels and delta in a day, to me felt like perfect amount of time!

    Even though it felt like we were just running through a standard tourist circuit, we enjoyed the itinerary. The places we stopped at seemed like places that would be quite difficult to get to without a guide. In particular, we liked the sampan boat ride through the small canals.

    There will be many opportunities to buy things. I'd recommend the coconut peanut candy, but would not recommend the chocolate bar (we got the salt one, which tasted off and we found a hair in it).

    Our tour guide, Bac, was fantastic. He was easy to talk to and energetic despite the long day. We appreciated his HCMC recommendations, as he has a background as a food tour guide!

    This tour was more than I expected. You can have an exciting experience with sandblasting and riding on an ATV (for clarification l, you cannot ride; you get on an ATV). And you can have an inspirational photographic experience for social media or photography. You better bring sufficient money (300,000 VND and above) to enjoy he best.

    Note : For departure from HCMC only, you first boarbusn ordinary bus. The bus then goes to a bumpy remote location to board a sleeper bus. You should not be surprised with this. Arrival to HCMC is all with a sleeper bus.

    We had a fantastic day exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta, with Kai as our guide. His informative and engaging commentary brought the history and culture of these places to life. He was incredibly helpful throughout, making sure we had a memorable experience. Kai's efforts truly enhanced the day, making it an ultimate adventure.

    We had an amazing day trip to the Mekong Delta from Ho Chi Minh City with our guide, Mai! She was friendly and provided insightful information throughout the journey. It was a wonderful way to spend the day outside the city and experience a different part of Vietnam.

    The historical context provided by the guide, Kevin, was very useful in our appreciation of the tunnels tour. He also was very knowledgeable on our visit to the Mecong Delta. The bus was comfortable and the driver excellent.

    We had an incredible day and Tom was an amazing guide, his sense of humour and local knowledge really made it. It’s an early start but well worth it if you only have a day to spare, it was rushed and we had plenty of opportunities to sneak in a nap. It was easy to organise, everything as expected and whether it’s this tour or another, we couldn’t recommend Tom more!

    We booked a 2 day privete tour with our family. It was an amazing experience. We visited a lot of places, went on a couple of boats and tried so many traditional foods. We slept in a homestay which was wonderful. We also had an amazing guide with Son, who told so much, was friendly and also gave us some family time. Al together we had a wonderful experience!

    Was a very interesting and educational trip. HCM traffic is a pain as always so an early start was a great plan.
    Bunny was our guide and she was very knowledgeable with the history of Vietnam and her explanation was awesome. Highly recommend Guide!

    I highly recommend this one day trip! The guide took us to places and told us insights that most tourist wouldn't get. She can perfectly speak english, plus very kind and helpful.

    We highly recommend Countryside Adventures for an action packed day outside HCMC!
    Had the best day with our tour guide Lee who picked us up right outside our accommodation. Was a challenging but rewarding journey via boat, kayak, and bike. Disclaimer - it’s super fast paced and involves some rocky/dodgy-ish terrain. But we loved this! Truly a cultural immersion off the usual tourist tracks! You will be very well looked after (and well fed) with street food stops along the way.
    Also note: There is a minimum group of 4. We went in the low season and so had to pay an extra fee (1150.000VND/person) for a private tour for two. Well worth it we reckon!
