Itinerary
We will pick up all the travelers and meet the travelers who are not staying at Districts 1 and 4 from here. The tour starts at 7:30 AM to Cu Chi Tunnels.
The Cu Chi Tunnels, located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, were an extensive network of underground tunnels that served as a critical strategic location during the Vietnam War. Constructed over several years, the tunnels spanned more than 250 kilometers and were made up of multiple layers, including living quarters, kitchens, meeting rooms, hospitals, and even schools. The tunnels were dug by hand, using rudimentary tools such as shovels, hoes, and picks, and the workers would remove the soil from the tunnels and conceal it in nearby fields to avoid detection. Navigating through the Cu Chi Tunnels was a complex task, requiring specialized knowledge and training. The tunnels were narrow, with a height of only a few feet, and were often filled with traps and obstacles, such as spike pits and hidden doors. The Viet Cong soldiers were trained to move silently and quickly through the tunnels, using their knowledge of the terrain to avoid detection. Then, we will drive to My Tho.
We will have the Southern Vietnamese 5-courses set menu lunch with the amazing view at Huong Sen Restaurant with the local taste. Vegan/Vegetarian lunch is available upon request.
Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey as we take you to the magical Unicorn Island. Hop on a boat and experience the local way of life as you witness the process of growing fruit and bees right in the comfort of their homes. Taste the sweet nectar of the local honeybee before taking a stroll through the charming village and admiring the lush fruit orchards. Let the soothing melodies of traditional Southern Vietnamese music fill your ears and captivate your soul. The real highlight of the tour is a serene rowing boat ride through the tranquil waters of a small canal surrounded by majestic water coconut trees. As you float along, soak in the natural beauty of your surroundings and let your worries fade away. To top it all off, we'll take you to a floating fishing farm on the other side of the island, where you'll get a chance to witness the vibrant local fishing community in action and then taste the coconut candy
You'll return to Saigon around 6:30 - 7:00 PM.

About Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City, still widely called Saigon, is Vietnam's buzzing commercial hub of French colonial landmarks, war history and superb street food.
District 1 holds the main sights within walking distance: the red-brick Notre-Dame Cathedral, the elegant Central Post Office with its vaulted hall, the colonial Opera House and the ornate City Hall. The Independence Palace preserves its rooms as they were at the end of the war, and the War Remnants Museum tells the story of the conflict with sobering directness.
