Full description
First, be picked up from your hotel and after about 1.5 hours, you will reach Cu Chi tunnels. On arrival, through a short video, you are given an introduction into how the Cu Chi Tunnels were made and how the Vietnamese people suffered the hardships during the period of war. Be taken to discover the remaining area and a part of the tunnel network which embraces special living areas – kitchens and bedrooms side by side, and martial facilities – weapon factories, storage, command centers, and field hospitals. Additionally, learn about dangerous traps and hidden trap doors inside the maze-like tunnels for the guerrillas’ security purpose during the wartime. Interestingly, taste special tea and cassava which was once the everyday food of the former Vietnamese guerrillas. Have lunch at a local restaurant and then visit My Tho city. Take a leisurely cruise along Tien River. After, pay a visit to a coconut candy mill, a family business, then be taken down the small canals by wooden sampans to soak up the pleasant atmosphere of the river region. Savor seasonal fruits, take a sip of honey tea and get a sense of Southern Vietnamese folk music through music performed by the locals. You will return to Ho Chi Minh City at approximately 7:00 PM.

Really enjoyable day. Guide knowledgable about history of Vietnam and was funny & attentive to the group’s needs. Enjoyed seeing the cu chi tunnels with the guide demoing some of the traps. Also the Mekong delta had a range of activities eg biking round the island, trying coconut candy & fruits and boat trips. Would definitely recommend!

We where lucky, we had one guide for the two of us. The guide ‘Jack’ Diem has a lot of fun in his work what make our day unforgettable. Well known explanations about the places we went. Even we could ask about everything that wasn’t related to this tour. The places where beautiful and we even drink alcohol that was in a jar full of snakes.

Anh your tour guide was amazing, she was so engaging and had a lot of knowledge on the tour - Cu Chi Tunnels is such an important part of the Vietnam history to go see. Mekong detla tour in the afternoon is also excellent and you get to travel on many different boats. Lunch supplied is very good and make changes for me as I do not like fish.
