Visit the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta - the two principal and most well-known attractions of Southern Vietnam - one historical, one natural, both cultural – within only a day from Ho Chi Minh City. Yes! It’s absolutely possible! This private tour firstly includes a stop at Cu Chi Tunnels, an amazing experience for you to explore the intense battleground and learn about its crucial role during the Vietnam War. As soon as getting to Mekong Delta, we transfer to a small rowing boat to paddle along the small canals under fronds of coconut trees lining both sides, then get on the motor boat to cruise to the coconut island. We disembark at a local family to enjoy tropical fruits, taste honey tea, honey wine, see how the local products are made, and enjoy a live folk music performed by the local artists.
