Full ranked list
Two distinct clusters: Cu Chi and Mekong Delta
This list splits cleanly into two categories that don’t overlap on the ground: Cu Chi Tunnels (four listings, north of the city, a half-day war-history site) and Mekong Delta/Can Tho (the remaining twelve, south of the city, boats and floating markets). Most first-time visitors do one of each rather than picking between them, they’re different regions with different content, not competing options for the same afternoon.
Cu Chi Tunnels: four ways to book the same site
₫355,468 ($13.56) to ₫1,495,536 ($57.05) for the same underlying tunnels, the difference is transport and add-ons. The guided tour with optional shooting range at ₫355,468 ($13.56) is the cheapest at 299 reviews; the speedboat version at ₫1,495,536 ($57.05) has both the highest rating (4.9) and the fastest transfer. The full trade-off between all four is broken down in the Cu Chi Tunnels tour guide.
Mekong Delta: My Tho vs Can Tho
My Tho and Ben Tre tours (the ₫337,118 ($12.86)-₫482,871 ($18.42) range) are single-day trips close enough to Ho Chi Minh City for a comfortable there-and-back. Can Tho, where the 992-review floating market tour actually happens, sits 170km further south, most Can Tho bookings from Ho Chi Minh City are the 2-day version at ₫1,550,324 ($59.14) rather than a rushed single-day loop. If you’re only doing one Mekong stop and want the famous floating market specifically, budget the extra day. The full comparison of which single-day option to book lives in the Mekong Delta day trip guide.
The outlier: Vung Tau
Vung Tau’s beach day trip doesn’t fit either cluster, it’s a coastal city east of Ho Chi Minh City, popular as a beach escape rather than a heritage or river-delta stop. At 383 reviews and 4.4 stars it’s a solid pick if a beach day is what you actually want out of a Ho Chi Minh City base, distinct from the river and tunnel network the rest of this list covers.
What this tells you about booking priorities
With four Cu Chi options and twelve Mekong/Can Tho options all clearing 100+ reviews, Ho Chi Minh City’s day-trip economy is heavily weighted toward these two directions. If your time is tight, one Cu Chi tour and one Mekong Delta tour covers the two things this region is actually known for, everything else on this list is a variation on those two themes.
Beyond GetYourGuide’s 100+-review filter
This list only shows GetYourGuide tours clearing 100 reviews. Viator carries its own 14 Cu Chi Tunnels tours and roughly a dozen Mekong Delta options out of Ho Chi Minh City, spanning budget half-day buses up to private multi-day trips, worth a look if you want more departure choices than this filtered ranking shows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best-reviewed tour out of Ho Chi Minh City?
Can Tho's Mekong Tour, Floating Market, Cacao & Wild Canals, 992 reviews at 4.9 stars, though it departs from Can Tho rather than Ho Chi Minh City itself, most travelers book it as part of a Mekong Delta multi-day trip.
Cu Chi Tunnels: which of the four options should I pick?
For price and reviews together, the Ben Duoc Small Group tour at ₫454,821 ($17.35) with 635 reviews. For speed, the Half-Day Speedboat Tour at ₫1,495,536 ($57.05) cuts road time significantly. See the dedicated comparison for the full breakdown.
Is a one-day or two-day Mekong Delta trip better?
One day covers My Tho or Ben Tre comfortably from Ho Chi Minh City. Two days is worth it only if Can Tho's floating market, the region's most famous single sight, is a priority, it's too far for a rushed same-day add-on.
How far is Can Tho from Ho Chi Minh City?
About 170km, roughly 3-3.5 hours by road each way, which is why most Can Tho tours are sold as overnight or full 2-day packages rather than single-day trips from Ho Chi Minh City.
