Private Full-Day Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta

The journey, in full

Around 7:30AM. Be picked up at your central hotels in Ho Chi Minh city and head to Cu Chi Tunnels. Enjoy a 2-hour drive northwest of Saigon, through the southern countryside to the legendary Cu Chi tunnels. Stretching from Saigon to the Vietnam-Cambodia border, the network includes countless trapdoors, entangled living areas, storage facilities and weapons factories, mini military hospitals, command centers, and even kitchens. Stretching over 200km, this tunnel network -dug by hand- connected shelters, posts, hospitals, and weapon bunkers. You can walk through the area and learn about the life of VC, face the cleverly disguised entrances, and elaborate booby-traps. Then the mini-van will drive around 2 hours to reach the Mekong area. Enjoy lunch in a local restaurant on the way to the Mekong. After lunch, leave the big city behind as the scenery is gradually replaced with rice paddies and rural villages on your drive to My Tho. Then the trip will start by taking small boats and cruising on the river to visit a coconut factory to learn about the way how to make coconut candy here and taste some local products. Enjoy a leisurely horse-drawn carriageride through the village and sample some tropical fruits. After that, the amazing rowing boat trip on the small canal is something you cannot miss. One more islet on this trip will bring you to a small bee farm to enjoy honey tea and other local products.
