Embark on a thrilling one-day tour from Ho Chi Minh City to explore the historic Cu Chi Tunnels and the picturesque Mekong Delta.

These tunnels were crucial in the Viet Cong’s guerrilla warfare during the ‘American War’, allowing them to manage a vast area of the countryside near Ho Chi Minh City.
