Highlights
Within one short day, this tour brings you over a distance of nearly 300km, to the two most contrast but equally interesting sites near Saigon. One site is the Cu Chi tunnel system which experienced one of the most destructive wars in the history of mankind. The other site is the pleasant Mekong delta in My Tho with exuberant orchards and rice fields. After sweating yourself out from going into the underground tunnels which are stuffy and hot, you can relax yourself on a boat ride on the Mighty Mekong river and numerous small canals in pleasant breezes.

Itinerary
Visit the Cu Chi tunnels which show the most meticulous war techniques and strategies of Vietnamese guerrillas during the Vietnam War against American troops. You will be surprised to observe different structures of the tunnel system such as fighting bunkers, booby traps, storage rooms, meting rooms, health bunker, special kitchen, secret ventilation holes etc and how they functioned effectively in the war.
Then take a wonderful boat ride for 3 hours on the Mekong River with a stop at the Thoi Son island to taste delicious tropical fruits and enjoy traditional folk songs. Enjoy a lovely sampan ride through palm shading canals. This boat ride really brings you great feelings of real tropics. Visit a workshop where you will learn how they make typical coconut candies. Taste this nice sweet and drink a great mixture of green tea – honey – lime.

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.
