Overview

The full-day small-group tour begins with a hotel pickup in Ho Chi Minh City between 7:00 and 7:30 in the morning. The group travels by private vehicle for about one and a half hours to the Cu Chi Tunnels. The visit to the tunnels lasts around three hours, during which the guide explains how the Viet Cong built the tunnels, their use during the Vietnam War, and the living conditions of those who used them. After the Cu Chi Tunnels, the tour continues by private transport to a farm in Ben Luc, Long An province, where participants enjoy a Vietnamese barbecue lunch. Following lunch, the group travels to My Tho in the Mekong Delta. At about 2:40 p.m., guests board a private boat for a three-hour cruise along the Mekong River (Tien River). The cruise includes a stop at Thoi Son islet to taste seasonal fruits and listen to traditional Southern Vietnamese folk music called Đờn Ca Tài Tử, recognized by UNESCO. The boat trip also includes a ride on a hand-rowed sampan through small canals, a visit to a bee farm to sample honey tea, and a tour of the largest coconut candy factory in the Mekong Delta to see how coconut sweets are made. The tour ends with a return trip to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving back at the hotel around 6:30 p.m. Included are private transportation between all locations, entrance fees, the private boat cruise, lunch, bottled water, an English-speaking guide, travel insurance, and access to a free internet center. Additional services not mentioned in the program, as well as tips for the guide and driver, are not included. Dietary restrictions such as vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free can be accommodated if indicated at booking. The tour group size is limited to 12 participants.
