This small group tour focuses on two important sites near Ho Chi Minh City: the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. The day begins with a hotel pickup in Districts 1, 3, or 4, followed by a drive of about 60 kilometers to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Upon arrival, the guide shows a documentary about the tunnels and explains local crafts such as bamboo traps, rice paper, and rice wine. Visitors then explore the network of tunnels used by Vietnamese resistance fighters during wartime. After spending around four hours at Cu Chi, the tour continues to My Tho, a province within the Mekong Delta. There, participants take a motorboat cruise along the upper Mekong River, passing islands named after animals from Buddhist texts: Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Turtle. This section highlights daily river life in the region. Next, a hand-rowed boat ride navigates smaller waterways, revealing the area's fruit orchards, coconut groves, and bee farms. Guests have time to taste honey tea, tropical fruits, and fresh coconut candy while listening to traditional southern Vietnamese folk music. The full tour lasts approximately 10 hours and includes lunch featuring Vietnamese cuisine with a vegan option. Hotel pickup and drop-off in central Districts 1, 3, and 4 are included. Air-conditioned transport, all boat rides, bottled water, seasonal fruit, entrance fees to the Cu Chi Tunnels, and an English-speaking guide are part of the package. The tour returns to Ho Chi Minh City by around 6 PM.
