Escape the bustling city for a perfect blend of history and nature on this full-day journey from Ho Chi Minh City. Discover the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels, a remarkable underground network built during the Vietnam War, and experience the peaceful beauty of Tân Lập Floating Village, known as the “mini Mekong Delta” of Long An Province.

Begin with a pickup from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and depart for Cu Chi. Arrive at the Ben Duoc section of the Cu Chi Tunnels, a less-touristy area. Watch a short documentary about the tunnel system, then explore the underground tunnels, hidden bunkers, trapdoors, and weapon factories. Learn how the Vietnamese soldiers survived and fought during the war, and taste the special boiled cassava with tea — the local wartime snack.

Next, depart for Tân Lập Floating Village, located in Long An Province. Enjoy a Vietnamese set lunch at a local riverside restaurant. After lunch, walk along the peaceful wooden bridge path through the cajuput forest. Take a boat ride along the canal to explore the serene landscape, and climb the observation tower for panoramic views of the wetlands.

Finally, depart back to Ho Chi Minh City and get dropped off at your hotel.
