Tour Options
Itinerary
- Pick-up at your accommodation at 4:30 AM. - Take a few minutes to explore Cai Rang Floating Market. The route passes houses built on stilts over the water and boats of various sizes, shapes, and colors docked along the shore. - You can stop by the side of such a food-court boat to climb on the local vessel or ask the boat’s driver to stop at some floating huts along the shore. - Enjoy beverages and dishes throughout the Mekong Delta River, such as Ca Phe Sua Da (Iced coffee with condensed milk) or bun rieu (a rice vermicelli soup with a crab meat mixture made of freshwater mini crabs, pork, etc.). You will also get to experience making Hu Tieu (a rice noodle dish). After that, we will bike along a peaceful trail through the village, passing many fruit gardens with a variety of fruit. We will enjoy the fresh air and the simple life of the locals.
After enjoying the Floating Market trip, we will leave for the Cu Chi Legend Tunnel. The journey to the Cu Chi tunnel takes around 3.5 hours, and we will have lunch at a local restaurant on the way. Upon arrival, you will have the opportunity to explore remnants of wartime, such as the secret bunkers used as military shelters for Vietnamese soldiers. You can watch a documentary to understand how the Vietnamese bravely fought for independence. Visitors can crawl and crouch through the tunnels to gain insight into the challenging conditions people faced in the past. Additionally, they can visit the shooting range at their own expense (excluding bullet costs). Before departing, you'll have the chance to sample tapioca and tea, which were staples of the soldiers' daily diet in the past. After the Cu Chi Tunnels visit, we will return to Ho Chi Minh City, where guests will be dropped off at their hotels to conclude the tour.

Special experience with a fanatical guide. He knew how to tell it right. Remains impressive how the Vietnamese were able to dig in and hide in 250 km of corridors Then shoot with AK47 and M16 Very nice

We did today the tour combo Floating market and cu Chi Tunnels. Our Gide was Tri and he really took care of us. We had so many interesting experiences: tasty breakfast on the boat, demonstration of how rice noodles are made (my daughter tried to make it as well), fruit tasting, delicious lunch and tea snack. Tri was very attentive and made sure we were comfortable. He also took a lot of pictures of us. We learnt a lot. I would really recommend this to everyone. In one day you are able to visit two attractions by private car. The driver was also very careful and drove safely.
