🕳️ Morning: Cu Chi Tunnels Exploration

The day begins early with a convenient pick-up from your centrally located hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. You’ll travel by air-conditioned van to the Cu Chi district — approximately a 1.5-hour scenic ride through Vietnam’s countryside.

🎥 Introduction & Documentary

Upon arrival at the Cu Chi Tunnels, the experience begins with a short introductory film. This video helps you understand how the tunnels were built and used by the Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War to evade and fight enemy forces in difficult conditions.

🚶 Tunnel System Tour

After the film, your guide will take you through the preserved sections of the underground network. This includes:

• Living quarters and kitchens
• Storage rooms and weapons factories
• Field hospitals and command centers
• Trap doors and hidden exits for defense

The tour offers a remarkable insight into the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietnamese guerrilla fighters during wartime. Don’t miss the chance to crawl through a short section of the tunnel (optional) to truly feel the experience.

🍵 Guerrilla Snack

Wrap up the Cu Chi segment with a sample of traditional wartime food — boiled cassava and hot tea, just as the guerrillas once ate underground. After a short rest, it’s time to continue your journey.

🍽️ Vietnamese Lunch

Before heading to the Mekong Delta, you’ll stop for a delicious Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant. Enjoy authentic dishes that reflect the flavors of the region, perfect for recharging before the next leg of your full day tour.

🌿 Afternoon: Discovering the Mekong Delta

After lunch, drive onward to My Tho city, the gateway to the Mekong Delta. Here, the calm rhythms of the countryside provide a beautiful contrast to the morning’s historical exploration.

🛶 Boat Cruise on the Mekong River

Start your Mekong Delta experience with a boat trip on the Tien River. Feel the gentle breeze and take in the picturesque views of the lush landscape and four famous river islets: Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise islands.

🌴 Sampan Ride & Canal Cruising

Hop on a traditional hand-rowed sampan and glide along the small canals, shaded by water coconut trees. This peaceful ride offers the best way to enjoy the quiet charm of the Mekong countryside and see daily life in the delta up close.

🚴 Village Biking (Optional)

Stretch your legs with a short bicycle ride through the village. Explore quiet lanes, meet friendly locals, and soak in the rural vibe — this is a truly authentic way to connect with the spirit of the Mekong Delta.
