Tour Itinerary

From Ho Chi Minh To Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Tour Day Trip
 
07:00 AM – Hotel Pick-Up
 
Our guide and driver will pick you up from the lobby of your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City for an early departure to Cu Chi Tunnel. Sit back and relax as we begin an exciting day of discovery.
 
Cu Chi Tunnels Exploration
 
Upon arrival at Cu Chi Tunnels, our professional tour guide will introduce you to one of Vietnam’s most important historical sites.
 
The Cu Chi Tunnels are an extensive underground network stretching over 200 kilometers, symbolizing the resilience, creativity, and determination of the Vietnamese people. Located approximately 60 km from Saigon, Cu Chi was one of the fiercest battlefields during the period 1960–1972.
 
During your visit, you will:
 
Learn how Vietnamese guerrilla fighters dug, lived, and fought underground
 
Gain insight into how they survived and resisted advanced military technology
 
Watch a documentary film showcasing self-made weapons, bamboo traps, and tunnel construction techniques
 
See demonstrations of traditional methods for making rice paper and rice wine
 
Crawl through a section of the tunnels to experience life underground firsthand (optional)
 
For those interested, you may also experience the thrill of firing a legendary AK-47 rifle at the shooting range (optional and at your own expense).
 
Historically, during the American War in 1967, the Cu Chi Base Camp served as the headquarters of the 269th Aviation Battalion of the U.S. Army. Today, the area is best known as the former headquarters of the Viet Cong and remains a powerful reminder of Vietnam’s wartime history.

    Natur, eventyr

    Mekongdeltaet var helt utroligt smukt! Vi nød især den fredelige stemning ved de små kanaler, der var omgivet af kokospalmer. En tur i en traditionel robåd var en helt uforglemmelig oplevelse. Vi besøgte også et lokalt værksted, hvor vi kunne se, hvordan kokoskarameller bliver lavet. Vores guide var meget hjælpsom og tog nogle skønne billeder af os. Det var en vidunderlig dag, fyldt med spændende oplevelser og smukke minder.

    En afslappende dag på landet

    Vi havde en fantastisk dag, hvor vi udforskede Mekongdeltaet. Vi besøgte en frugthave, smagte lækre tropiske frugter og nød en fredfyldt sejltur langs floden. De små kanaler, omgivet af kokospalmer, var smukke. Det var en vidunderlig måde at opleve det lokale liv i Vietnam på.

    Een dag die we ons zullen herinneren

    We hebben een heerlijke dag gehad waarbij we de Cu Chi-tunnels en de Mekongdelta hebben verkend. De ochtend stond in het teken van de geschiedenis, en 's middags genoten we van een boottocht, waarbij we een andere kant van het Vietnamese leven zagen. Het was een fantastische combinatie van meer te weten komen over het verleden en kennismaken met de lokale cultuur. Absoluut een aanrader!

    Niin paljon jännitystä

    Vietimme mukavan päivän tutustuen Mekongin suistoon. Retkeen kuului veneretki joella, lyhyt kierros kanavilla sekä hunajateetä, trooppisia hedelmiä ja perinteistä vietnamilaista musiikkia. Kävimme myös kookoskarkkeja valmistavassa työpajassa. Oppaamme oli ystävällinen ja asiantunteva, ja kaikki oli hyvin järjestetty.
