Highlights
  • Cu Chi Tunnels - 7:30 AM: Hotel pick-up.
    — The Cu Chi tunnels serve as the starting point for those interested in learning about Vietnam’s strategic hamlet and tunnel system, which spans over 220 km. Gain insight into this historical site by watching a short documentary video 1967.
    — Crawl through the tiny passageways to understand the tactics used by the guerilla fighters, see a bunch of deathly traps, and taste tapioca with salted sesame seeds in the Hoang Cam kitchen system. It’s difficult to imagine the devastation caused by bombing and mines when Cu Chi was designated as “A Free Target Zone.”
    — Visit the shooting range (Bullet cost is not included).
    — Afterward, we will have lunch and depart for My Tho City.
  • My Tho - After our exciting tunnel exploration, we’ll go to My Tho, a beautiful province in the Mekong Delta region. You’ll love the boat ride along the upper Mekong, where we’ll see the Four Animal Islands - Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Turtle, named after creatures in Buddhist lore. This part of the tour will give us an extraordinary glimpse into local Vietnamese life and how it’s intricately connected to the river.

Next, get ready for a delightful rowboat ride through the narrow waterways, where we’ll witness the lush agriculture of the delta, including fruit orchards, coconut plantations, and beekeeping farms. And the best part? You’ll have the chance to taste some delicious honey tea, seasonal fruits, fresh coconut candy, and even some traditional southern Vietnamese folk music.

Finally, we’ll head back to Ho Chi Minh City, and I’ll drop you off at your hotel around 7:30 PM. I can’t wait for this adventure!

Super fun day - Tour guide (Jason) was so funny and definitely the highlight of the day. He had exceptionally good knowledge about the Vietnam war. Everything was planned well and he made the experience so much better through jokes and a good atmosphere in our group. Thank you Mr. Jason for a real highlight on our Vietnam holidays

Fun tour with a real superstar - Amazing way to see both the mekong delta and the Cu Chi Tunnels in one day. Our tour guide, Jason Superstar, spoke English fluently and turned into a real professor during our ride towards the tunnels, explaining the cause of the war very well. After the tunnels we went on a 2h drive towards the Mekong delta where we had lunch and visited several islands. As we arrived later than most tours the majority of tourists had already left which gaves us a better experience. Most islands were focussed on selling souvenirs (coconut candy, honey,...), but the staff was friendly and showed us how it was made. One of the highlights was rowing down the Mekong river.

Tunnels and Mekong Tour - I did the tour with my family and we all had a great time! First half of the day is spent at the Cu Chi Tunnels where you'll also have lunch and after you go on to the Mekong River. The maximum group size of 10 people is really good because it gives you the chance to ask the tour guide questions whenever you want.

Tommy an outstanding guide - Adventurous and very informative. The Cu Chi tunnels showed how resourceful you used all sorts of simple marterials. Driving on the Mekong through the forest was very nice, unfortunately short. The 1. Once I saw water coconuts. Too bad you keep seeing plastic waste. An insight into coconut processing, tasting fruit, producing very beautiful pictures, local music and honey tasting rounded off the day. We were also allowed to have a snake killed and a honeycomb held. A good lunch was also provided. Our guide Thommy has repeatedly taken beautiful pictures of everyone and also reported a lot of interesting things. There were also regular breaks. So dare you and off you go into adventure...
