LUXURY CU CHI TUNNELS & MEKONG

This tour is perfect for those who are interested in the history of the Vietnam War or are looking for a day trip not too far away from Ho Chi Minh City. The tour takes you to two important tourist sites: the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta.

Cu Chi Tunnels, known as the “iron triangle” during the Vietnam War, are a network of underground tunnels that were used as a military base for resistance to US forces during the Vietnam War. Cu Chi itself was once known as the “dead land” that was destroyed by millions of bombs. But today, the land is still alive and combines legendary historical structures with the unique culture of the Vietnamese.

The Mekong Delta is known as “the rice bowl” of Vietnam, due to the seemingly endless fields of rice. In this water world, you will see houses and markets floating along the river. This is a fabulous destination for those who want to experience the humble beauty of the Mekong Delta, get closer to nature, and meet the hospitable people of this region.

7:30 am: Our guide will pick you up at your hotel to go to Cu Chi Tunnel for one and a half hours by minivan.

The peacefully rural rice paddy scenery contains ducks and water buffalos swimming in the rivers along the side of the road. You will find it hard to imagine the destruction, damage, and defoliation all over the area caused by bombing and mines when Cu Chi was “A Free Target Zone “. In the remnants, you will see that Cu Chi still has evidence to prove the fierce battleground that took place there. Ever wonder what it feels like to fire an AK-47. Visit the Cu Chi tunnels, you have a chance to find out!

Afternoon: We will depart from Cu Chi to My Tho city for two hours by car. On the way to My Tho, we stop at a restaurant to have lunch.

Upon arrival in My Tho City, the boat takes you to a small canal, where you can totally escape from the busy town. The boat cruise in the coconut tree canal takes you to a coconut island in Ben Tre. We disembark and take a walk around the village. Stop at a local family to enjoy tropical fruit, taste honey tea, and honey wine, and listen to Vietnamese traditional music, and performances by the villagers.

Continue walking on the village’s road to the coconut candy shop, learn how to make candy, and show some handicrafts made by coconut trees. Take a walk through the village with two sides; there are so many kinds of fruits, flowers, trees, local houses, and children in the Mekong Delta. Take your time to take nice photos and enjoy natural scenery.

17:00–17:30 going back to Ho Chi Minh City.

19:00 The tour ends at your hotel.
