Uncover Southern Vietnam’s heart with our carefully curated Ho Chi Minh City-Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Tours – an adventure that’s perfect for curious people looking for more than surface-level sights. Unlike standard Ho Chi Minh City Tours, these 3- or 4-day tours reveal hidden alleys, ancient pagodas, subterranean war tunnels, and lush river scenery. Whether you’re drinking coffee in a forgotten corner of Saigon or gliding past coconut-lined canals in the Mekong, this is where authentic stories unfold – and you’ll be a part of them.
Tour Highlights – Ho Chi Minh City-Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Tours
Here’s what makes our Ho Chi Minh City-Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Tours so unforgettable:
Discover Ho Chi Minh City’s off-the-beaten-path angles with our quintessential vintage street walks – from worn French balconades in Chung cu Ton That Dam to local-only rooftop cafes. These tours embody what genuine Ho Chi Minh City Tours are all about: authentic, engaging, and full of personality.
Go deep into the Cu Chi Tunnels, where history comes alive under your feet. Get up close with strong war accounts, personal recounts, and Vietnamese ingenuity from the resistance movement.
Travel through the Mekong Delta, whose rhythm is that of nature. Floating markets with fruit, serene waterways, and gardens on islands are in store in this living mosaic of Southern civilization.
Bonus for 4-day visitors: Take an excursion to Can Gio Biosphere Reserve, a tropical wilderness just beyond the city. See mischievous monkeys, sail past mangrove forests, and taste the sea salt breeze of an off-the-beaten-path eco-world.
Every aspect of our Ho Chi Minh City Tours is carefully crafted with care, expertise, and assurance of experiences to be remembered.

3-Day Ho Chi Minh City-Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Tours
Day 1 – Arrival & Vintage Walk Through Old Saigon
2:00 PM – Welcome to lively Ho Chi Minh City! Upon your arrival at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, our professional Impress Travel guide and driver will welcome you with a friendly smile and take you to your trendy abode at Orchids Saigon Hotel 4*. Once you have checked in, relax for a bit and take some time to freshen up.
5:00 PM – Twilight falls, and we start your Ho Chi Minh City-Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Tours journey with a guided stroll along Chung cu Ton That Dam’s quaintly nostalgic backstreets. We lead you through a tucked-away ward with abandoned apartment blocks from the French era, decaying balconies, and staircases from a bygone century that offer hushed whispers from Saigon’s colonial era.
6:30 PM – Scale a hidden staircase to an intimate rooftop art loft café, discreetly located above Saigon’s bustling streets. Sit back with a Vietnamese coffee while hearing local legends and stories of Saigon’s evolution. It’s not just sightseeing tonight; it’s an unfolding page of Vietnam’s cultural history.

Day 2 – Urban Oasis & Hidden Cultural Gems
8:00 AM – Food for breakfast at your hotel, then we break free from that urban bustle and travel over the Thu Thiem tunnel to Binh Quoi Peninsula, a scenic enclave along the Saigon River. We find ourselves amidst this rural haven within urban boundaries, traditional stilt houses, palm-shaded walks, minimal garden farms, and an idyllic rural village life that now exists in our Ho Chi Minh City Tours.
11:30 AM – We return to the city for a scrumptious local lunch at a local restaurant before our continuation of cultural exploration.
1:30 PM – Tour Giac Lam Pagoda, which dates to 1744, the oldest temple in Ho Chi Minh City. With a seven-story stupa and more than 100 antique wooden statues, this holy site provides a peaceful window into southern Vietnam’s religious past.
3:30 PM – We next visit the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum, located in a beautiful colonial-era villa. Housed within, there is an outstanding collection of war sketches, sculpture, and paintings that capture the essence of Southern Vietnamese art.
6:30 PM – Spend a memorable rooftop dinner at the 1960s-inspired Saigon home-style Secret Garden Restaurant. Under warm light from lanterns, surrounded by antique-style décor, this is a culinary trip through time, an intimate evening that enriches your Ho Chi Minh City Tours

Day 3 – Antiques, Coffee & Farewell
8:30 AM – On your last morning, take a leisurely walk along Le Cong Kieu Street, a quaint strip that is renowned for its antique stores and valuable trinkets. From war medals to vintage maps and antique cameras, this street is one that both history buffs and collectors appreciate.
10:00 AM – We reward you with one final sensory treat before we take you to the airport: a Vietnamese salted coffee at a local roastery — rich, creamy, and unforgettable.
11:00 AM – Your team accompanies you to the airport for your next flight, closing an enriching journey through Ho Chi Minh City’s sights, sounds, and unspoken history with Ho Chi Minh City Tours

Tour of Vietnam
Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!

The tour was fantastic
I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating! We started our holiday in the north (Sapa)of Vietnam and travelled down to HCMC. The tour was fantastic, Tommy's arrangements were to the"T". I will always use them if I have to visit the area again and recommend them to one and all. Thank you once again Mr.Tommy and the Impress Team. Sulaiman Pochee
