Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Tour 1 Day

Leave the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City behind and head towards the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, located about 60km from the city. Upon arrival, watch a short documentary that brings to life the history and resilience of the people who built this remarkable underground network. Wander through sections of the tunnels, discover ingenious handmade weapons and traps, and get a real sense of life during wartime. A simple yet authentic treat awaits – steamed tapioca with sesame salt and a cup of hot tea. Before leaving Cu Chi, visit a small workshop where locals make rice paper in the traditional way.

From here, the journey continues to My Tho in the heart of the Mekong Delta. On the way, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant featuring delicious Southern Vietnamese dishes. Once in My Tho, step aboard a boat and cruise along the Tien River to explore peaceful islands surrounded by lush greenery. Taste fresh tropical fruits, listen to the soulful melodies of Southern folk music, and visit a bee farm where you can try honey tea, sample coconut candy, and even hold a friendly python if you dare.

A short rowing boat trip will then take you through narrow canals shaded by water coconut trees – the perfect moment to breathe in the fresh countryside air and enjoy the tranquil rhythm of the Mekong Delta. As the day winds down, return to Ho Chi Minh City with beautiful memories of two very different yet equally fascinating sides of Vietnam
