  • Explore Ho Chi Minh city & Cu Chi tunnels 1 day (join-in)

    Our tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in downtown Ho Chi Minh City (District 1). From there, we'll begin our exploration of the city.

    Our first stop will be the Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace, built on the site of the former Norodom Palace. The Independence Palace is a famous landmark in Ho Chi Minh City and was designed by the architect Ngo Viet Thu.

    Next, we'll admire the beautiful structures from the French Colonial era, such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Central Post Office. We'll then visit the remarkable War Remnants Museum, which has a vast display covering both the Indochina wars.

    Afterward, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant, then, we'll head to Cu Chi, which will take approximately one and a half hours by bus.

    Upon arrival in Cu Chi, you'll first watch a short introduction video about how the tunnels were constructed and how people survived in the harsh conditions of wartime. After the video, you'll have time to explore the remaining areas and tunnel systems. These include specially constructed living areas with kitchens and bedrooms, alongside military facilities such as storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers that helped tunnel inhabitants meet their basic needs. Additionally, you'll see many hidden trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels that provided security during the war.

    Afterward, special tea and cassava (the guerrillas' food during the war) will be served. You'll then have some break time to relax or, for those interested, to try real shooting guns (for an additional charge).

    Finally, we will return to Saigon, and you will be dropped off at your hotel at around 7:00 PM, concluding the trip.

  • Mekong Delta day trip (join-in)

    Our tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in downtown Ho Chi Minh City (District 1). From there, we'll head to My Tho, a town on the left side of the Mekong River.

    Upon arrival, we'll visit Vinh Trang Pagoda, which dates back to the late 19th century. Then, we'll board a sampan and cruise down the river around the four beautiful islands known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise Islands.

    We'll stop at Unicorn Island to walk along the country lanes, visit orchards, enjoy tropical fruits, and listen to folk songs performed by local people. We'll also visit a fruit plantation.

    Next, we'll ride a hand-rowed sampan through Thoi Son Canal to experience the beauty of the countryside. We'll visit a family business, a honey-bee farm, and enjoy honey tea and a coconut candy workshop.

    We'll have lunch at a local restaurant, followed by a break. In the afternoon, we'll cycle around Tan Thach Village, meeting local villagers to experience daily life in the Mekong Delta. For those who prefer not to cycle, there will be time to relax in a hammock and enjoy the cool breeze.

    Finally, we'll return to Saigon, and you'll be dropped off at your hotel around 5:30 PM, concluding the trip.
