Day 1

CU CHI TUNNELS & MEKONG FULL DAY

This tour is perfect for those who are interested in the history of the Vietnam War or are looking for a day trip not too far away from Ho Chi Minh city. The tour takes you to two important tourist sites: Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta.

Cu Chi Tunnels, known as the “iron triangle” during the Vietnam war, are a network of underground tunnels that were used as a military base for resistance to US forces during the Vietnam War. Cu Chi itself was once known as the “dead land” that was destroyed by millions of bombs. But today, the land is still alive and combines legendary historical structures with the unique culture of the Vietnamese.

Mekong delta is known as “the rice bowl” of Vietnam, due to the seemingly endless fields of rice. In this water world, you will see houses and markets floating along the river. This is a fabulous destination for those who want to experience the humble beauty of the Mekong Delta, get closer to nature and meet the hospitable people of this region.

7:30am: Our guide pick you up at your hotel to go to Cu Chi Tunnel for one and half hours by mini van.

The peacefully rural rice paddy scenery contains ducks and water buffalos swimming in the rivers along the side of road. You will find it hard to imagine the destructions, damage and defoliation all over the area, caused by bombing and mines, when Cu Chi was “A Free Target Zone “. The remnants you will see that Cu Chi still has her evidence to prove the fierce battleground that took place there. Ever wonder what it feels like to fire an AK-47? Visit Cu chi tunnels, you have a chance to find out!

Afternoon: We will depart from Cu Chi to My Tho city for two hours by car. On the way to My Tho, we stop at restaurant to have a lunch.

Upon arrival to My Tho City, The boat take you to small canal, where is the place you totally escape from the busy town. The boat cruise in the coconut trees canal takes you to a coconut island in Ben Tre. We disembark and have a walk around the village. Stop at a local family to enjoy tropical fruit, taste honey tea, honey wine and listen to Vietnamese traditional music, performance by the villagers.

Continue walking on the village’s road to coconut candy shop, learn how to make candy, show some handicraft made by coconut tree. Take a walk through village with two sides there are so many kind of fruits, flowers, trees, local houses, children in Mekong delta, take your time to have nice photos and enjoy nature scenery.

17:00 – 17:30 going back Ho Chi Minh City..

Excelente tour. Nossa guia Nâm foi especial. A van é muito confortável. O passeio leva aos túneis de Cu Chi e a algumas ilhas do delta do rio Mekong, onde tivemos explicações em um passeio tranquilo e fácil (inclusive para minha mãe que tem dificuldade de locomoção).
Nas ilhas vimos a cultura vietnamita e descobrimos frutas diferentes.
Em cada diferente atividade, logicamente você pode (ou não) comprar os produtos.
Ao longo do dia experimentamos muitas frutas , doces e petiscos.
Adorei o nosso grupo que tinha 10 pessoas, Nice to meet you guys!!!
Vale a pena!!!

Mr Binh Le (Mr Bean ) and student guide Lucy were excellent. Mr Bean had first hand knowledge of being involved in the Vietnam war and had so many interesting stories to tell. His experience and knowledge was invaluable. Mekong Delta was very interesting and we to see local farms and taste local foods was great. Well worth the trip with excellent guides. Highly recommended.

We had a very comfortable trip, all thanks to our tour guide Nam the Man for being so helpful and approachable. He was able to adjust to our hectic schedule. He was also very clear in giving instructions. It is also plus that he takes good photos. The facilities of the van were also good (e.g. aircon, seats). The wifi was fast. Our bellies were also full because they served delicious traditional food. I could say that the payment is all worth it.

To add to that, the customer service was very prompt in answering all our concerns about the tour.

Highly recommended. We did the tour at Christmas time and though it was a busy period, we were able to enjoy the various attractions at a comfortable pace. The group size of 7 is just right for this tour. The transfer via Limo was excellent and there was WIFI throughout the whole journey. Zedd (our guide) was friendly, knowledgeable and gave us great insights into the places he brought us. Zedd and the driver always made sure we are comfortable, providing us bottled water and tissues at every stop. Overall, an excellent tour, great service and a comfortable way to see both attractions in a day

My husband and I visited Vietnam for the first time! We found the tunnels and Me Kong Delta tour in one and liked the idea of getting to see both sites in one day – we were not disappointed! Thao (Bunny) our guide was fabulous and full of knowledge. Everything was timely, the visit times were perfect and the surprise treats during the Me Kong tour were an added bonus! We HIGHLY recommend this trip and don’t forget to ask for Bunny as your guide – she will not only make you smile she will enhance your experience!

Great trip with Duc!
My group of 4 had an awesome trip with Duc. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful throughout the tour. Duc did a great job of explaining the historical attributes of the Cu Chi tunnel complex and gave a great introduction on the ride over. Overall a great trip and a great guide as well.

Born, grow up, never get sick or die
Mr. Lockie was our guide for the Cu Chi tunnels and an aborted trip to the Delta die to rain. Very strong Saigon guide with opinions to share. We enjoyed the private bus very much and his singing. The tour and impromptu run in the rain near the freeway were a blast. He’s not a Bernie Sanders fan FYI.
