Itinerary
- Day 1
Ho Chi Minh City to My Tho
Start your morning with a guided tour through the Cu Chi Tunnels, where you'll walk through the underground network and learn about the history of guerrilla warfare during the war. You'll see weapons and traps up close, and if you're interested, there's a chance to crawl through some of the actual tunnel sections yourself. After grabbing lunch, you'll head to My Tho for an afternoon boat trip down the Tien River. From there, you'll visit several local islands, stop by floating fish farms and honey bee farms, and check out some coconut candy shops. The boat ride includes traditional southern folk music playing throughout, so you get a real sense of local culture while you're on the water.
