Itinerary
Our tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. Sit back and relax on the comfortable drive to Cu Chi, which takes about 1.5 hours. Upon arrival, you'll watch a short documentary that gives insight into the construction of the underground tunnel network and how local people managed to live and fight in such challenging conditions during wartime.
Next, we’ll explore the remaining sections of the Cu Chi Tunnels, including underground living quarters, kitchens, weapons storage, medical stations, and command rooms. You’ll also discover how cleverly hidden trapdoors and various booby traps were designed to protect the area. Before leaving, enjoy a traditional snack of tea and cassava—the typical wartime food of guerrilla fighters. Short break before moving on.
Afterwards, we’ll have lunch at a local restaurant before heading to My Tho in the Mekong Delta.
In My Tho, enjoy a boat ride on the Tien River, passing by the charming islands named Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise. Continue the experience with a peaceful sampan ride through narrow canals shaded by coconut palms. Take a leisurely bike ride through a local village, and visit a coconut candy workshop.
You'll also get to taste fresh seasonal fruits, sip honey tea, and enjoy a live performance of traditional Southern folk music by local artists.
We return to Ho Chi Minh City in the late afternoon. Tour concludes.
