This one-day small group tour lasting about 12 hours focuses on the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta near Ho Chi Minh City. The trip begins with a hotel pickup in District 1 by air-conditioned vehicle, followed by a drive of approximately 90 minutes to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Upon arrival, visitors watch a short video explaining the tunnels’ construction and the hardships endured by Vietnamese soldiers during wartime. The tour then explores the preserved tunnel network, including living quarters like kitchens and bedrooms, as well as military facilities such as weapon factories, storage areas, command centers, and field hospitals. Guests also learn about the tunnels’ defensive traps and hidden doors. A tasting of tea and cassava, typical foods of the guerrillas, is included. There is time to relax and purchase souvenirs before continuing. Next, the tour proceeds to My Tho city in the Mekong Delta region, where lunch is served at a local restaurant offering Vietnamese cuisine. After lunch, a boat trip along the Tien River provides views of a fishing port, traditional stilt houses, and boat-building workshops. The boat ride passes four islands named Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise. Visitors then explore a coconut candy workshop and meet local gardeners. Another boat ride through small canals shaded by water coconut trees follows. Seasonal fruits and honey tea are served while guests listen to Southern Vietnamese folk music performed by locals. The tour ends with a return to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving around 7 PM, though the exact time may vary due to traffic or weather conditions. Throughout the tour, an English-speaking guide leads the group, which is limited to 12 participants. Included are hotel pickup and transfers within central District 1, mineral water (two bottles per person), entrance fees, boat rides in the Mekong Delta, and lunch. Optional expenses such as travel insurance, tips, personal costs, and a gun shooting experience are not included.
