Itinerary
Hotel Pickup – Cu Chi Tunnels Begin your day with pickup from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and travel to the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels, one of Vietnam's most remarkable historical sites. Watch a short documentary before exploring the underground tunnel network, including hidden entrances, living quarters, command centers, and ingenious trap systems. Learn how local soldiers survived during the Vietnam War and experience crawling through an enlarged section of the tunnels. Sample traditional cassava and tea, the simple wartime food enjoyed by the soldiers. For those seeking extra excitement, an optional visit to the shooting range is available (additional cost).
Mekong Delta Adventure Continue to the beautiful Mekong Delta, known as Vietnam's "Rice Bowl." Board a traditional boat and cruise along the peaceful waterways lined with coconut palms, lush fruit orchards, and riverside villages. Enjoy seasonal tropical fruits while listening to live Southern Vietnamese folk music performed by local musicians. Glide through narrow coconut canals aboard a traditional hand-rowed sampan, taking in the tranquil scenery and peaceful countryside. Visit a local family home to experience authentic Mekong Delta life before enjoying a delicious Vietnamese lunch featuring fresh regional specialties. After lunch, take a leisurely walk or bicycle ride along quiet village paths surrounded by fruit gardens, rice fields, and charming rural landscapes.
Return to the minibus for the return journey to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving around 7:00 PM.

A wonderful way to experience the Mekong Delta! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From visiting a beautiful temple to cruising along the Mekong River to Coconut Island, every part of the tour was enjoyable and well organised. We sampled fresh tropical fruits, sipped honey tea, listened to traditional Vietnamese folk music, watched how coconut candy is made, enjoyed a peaceful sampan ride through the narrow canals, and finished with a delicious local lunch. Our guide, Jacky Hieu, was exceptional—professional, knowledgeable, well organised, and genuinely funny. He shared fascinating insights into Vietnamese culture and local life, answered every question with patience, and kept everyone engaged and entertained throughout the day. His enthusiasm and sense of humour made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Jacky as your guide!
