Start the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour in Ho Chi Minh City when the driver picks you up at your hotel.
You will need to take a bus for roughly one and a half hours to get to Cu Chi. You will see an introductory movie about the tunnels' construction and how Vietnamese people dealt with the difficult circumstances of the war before going underneath.
Explore the remaining areas and tunnel system, which offer unique living quarters with kitchens and bedrooms next to other military facilities like weapons manufacturers, field hospitals, and command centers, aiding whoever lives inside the tunnels in meeting their basic necessities. For further protection throughout the battle, there are numerous concealed trap doors and perilous traps throughout the maze-like tunnels.
After that, a special tea and cassava (a staple of the insurgents during the conflict) will be served.
Break time.
Continue to visit My Tho city. With the My Tho boat trip on the Tien River, you will be excited by the light breeze from the river and the natural beauty of four beautiful islands: Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise.
Ride a sampan through the narrow canal, indulge in the natural beauty of the area, and take a quick bicycle ride through the hamlet for an experience you won't soon forget when participating in the Mekong Delta tour. Visit the coconut candy workshop while sipping seasonal fruit with honey tea and enjoy the Southern Vietnamese traditional music performed by locals. It is also the closing activity for this Mekong Delta tour!
Return to Ho Chi Minh City.
