Cu Chi Tunnels – 1 Day
Located a short distance away from Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi tunnels were constructed during the Vietnam/American war.  Spanning miles upon miles, they were used as an "underground village" housing Vietcong personnel.

Those who venture in to the tunnel network will be impressed and greatly admire the talent, determination and endurance of the communist guerillas. This trip can be combined with the visit of temples outside the city.

The Mekong delta is only a couple of hours away from Ho Chi Minh City. This region possesses a natural beauty that travelers need to experience. One of the main activities in the Mekong Delta is boating.

It is interesting to tour through the canals by boat to get a close look at the beautiful natural setting and to experience the floating markets. The duration of your stay depends on the islands and attractions you want to see.
