What To Expect
Cu Chi Tunnels
We’ll pick you up at your Ho Chi Minh City hotel in the early morning, and you’ll travel with your English-speaking guide to the Cu Chi tunnels. The drive is around 60 km. At Cu Chi, you’ll be shown a documentary film about the tunnels and learn how the locals made bamboo traps, rice paper, and rice wine. You’ll then have the opportunity to explore the web of underground tunnels dug by Vietnamese resistance fighters.
My Tho
After exploring the tunnels, we’ll drive to My Tho. This is one of the provinces that comprise the Mekong Delta area. We’ll cruise by boat along the upper Mekong through a region with islands named after 4 animals that appear in Buddhist writings – Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Turtle. On this part of the tour, you’ll observe some of the activities of regional Vietnamese daily life and appreciate how life here depends on the River. We’ll then take you on a trip by rowboat along the small waterways. You’ll see the agricultural richness of the delta region in its fruit orchards, coconut groves, and bee-keeping farms. We’ll stop so you can enjoy honey tea, seasonal fruit, fresh coconut candy, and southern Vietnamese folk music. At the end of our tour, we’ll drive back to Ho Chi Minh City and drop you off at your hotel at around 18:00.

5.00What a fantastic experience! Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels was truly unforgettable. Crawling through them and imagining how people managed to dig and maintain tunnels stretching for many kilometers was simply mind-blowing. A special thanks to Emily, our guide, who was absolutely amazing. She kept us engaged throughout the journey with her knowledge, energy, and constant attention to every detail. The Mekong Delta was another highlight of the trip. From the boat rides and paddle boats to enjoying fresh tender coconut and local fruits, every moment was enjoyable. Even the electric car rides and the thoughtful preparations Emily made along the way added to the experience. I also want to mention our driver Dung, who remained calm and professional during a period of torrential rain. Despite the challenging conditions, he ensured we reached our destinations safely and comfortably. The entire team was outstanding, and the hospitality we experienced throughout Vietnam was exceptional. Thank you, Emily, your team, and the wonderful people of Vietnam. You made this trip truly memorable and amazing. 😍🙏💐👍
