This small-group day trip lasts about 11 to 12 hours and explores two key sites near Ho Chi Minh City. The first stop is the Cu Chi Tunnels, an extensive underground network used during the American war in Vietnam. After a hotel pickup in Districts 1 and 4, the group travels about 1.5 hours to Cu Chi. Visitors watch a short video explaining the tunnels' construction and wartime use, then tour sections of the tunnels showing living quarters, kitchens, weapon factories, storage areas, command centers, and field hospitals. The guide explains the traps and hidden doors designed for guerrilla security. Guests also sample tea and cassava, which were common foods for the guerrillas. Following the tunnel visit, the tour continues to the Mekong Delta region. The group has lunch at a local restaurant featuring traditional Vietnamese dishes. Afterwards, the tour heads to My Tho city for a boat cruise along the Tien River. Visitors stop at a coconut candy workshop operated by a local family, then take a ride on wooden sampans through small canals. The boat trip includes seasonal fruit tasting and honey tea. Local folk music is performed during this part of the tour. The group returns to Ho Chi Minh City around 7:00 PM. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off in central District 1 and 4, a professional English-speaking guide, admission fees, motorboat and small rowboat trips, and fruit and honey tea. Vehicle transportation is optional. Tips, gun shooting at Cu Chi, and holiday surcharges are not included.
