Itinerary
Travelers will explore the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, an extensive underground network used during the war. Your guide will explain how the tunnels were constructed and how local people lived, fought, and survived beneath the ground. Visitors can see hidden trapdoors, air vents, weapon workshops, kitchens, and reconstructed living areas. Those who want can crawl through a safe section of the tunnel to experience the underground atmosphere. The guide will also demonstrate several types of traps and share real historical stories that bring the site to life.
Travelers will cruise along the Tien River to see local fisherman’s ports, riverside life, and the four famous islets: Dragon, Kirin, Tortoise, and Phoenix. The main visit takes place on Kirin Islet. Walk through orchard gardens, taste fresh seasonal fruits, and enjoy “Don Ca Tai Tu”, traditional Southern Vietnamese folk music. Then relax on a horse-cart ride through the village and take a hand-rowing sampan along peaceful coconut-lined canals. After a short village walk, enjoy lunch at a riverside restaurant with Mekong specialties such as deep-fried giant gourami, spring rolls, and giant fried sticky rice ball.
