WHAT TO EXPECT
Step into History at Cu Chi
The tour starts from your hotel, but the adventure begins at the Cu Chi Tunnels, a huge underground network used for living, hiding, communicating, planning attacks, storing weapons, and conducting surprise guerrilla warfare. Explore reconstructed bunkers, crawl through a section of a tunnel, and appreciate the innovation and perseverance of Vietnamese freedom fighters. Interesting facts and background information from your guides enrich the experience.
Journey into the Green Heart of the Mekong Delta
After exploring Cu Chi Tunnels, the next part of the tour is a visit to the Mekong Delta, where the fast-paced environment of Ho Chi Minh City is being replaced by palm-fringed canals, rice paddies, and fruit orchards. Board a traditional vessel and glide past stilt houses and riverside communities. The activities at the site include visiting local workshops, sampling seasonal tropical fruits, and enjoying traditional music performances that reflect the region’s laid-back lifestyle.
A Taste of Southern Vietnam
The tour also includes a delicious local lunch, allowing you to taste authentic Mekong cuisine in a riverside setting. It is a relaxing break that pairs well with the day’s sightseeing and offers a unique food experience.
