Descrizione

Discover the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta on a guided tour from Ho Chi Minh City. Visit a lacquerware workshop, war tunnels, learn coconut life cycle and enjoy the Mekong river local life.
Leave the energy of Ho Chi Minh City behind and journey through two contrasting worlds in one immersive day — from the underground resistance networks of Cu Chi to the peaceful river culture of the Mekong Delta.

Unlike standard combo tours that simply rush between attractions, this experience focuses on Southern Vietnam’s hidden craftsmanship, wartime resilience, and authentic local heritage.

Begin with a scenic drive to the Cu Chi countryside. Before exploring the tunnels, visit a social-impact lacquerware workshop where skilled artisans create intricate handmade paintings and crafts. More than a souvenir stop, this visit offers insight into one of Vietnam’s most respected traditional art forms.

Continue to a local rice paper workshop and try the first step of traditional rice paper making before entering the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels. Discover hidden trapdoors, ventilation systems, field kitchens, and the smoke-less Hoang Cam stove once used during the war.

For adventurous travelers, crawl through preserved tunnel sections to experience the underground conditions endured by Vietnamese soldiers. Taste boiled tapioca and local tea — a simple wartime meal once shared inside the tunnels.

After Cu Chi, continue south toward My Tho and the Mekong Delta, where the atmosphere shifts from wartime history to slow river life and artisan culture.

Cruise along the Tien River by motorized boat, passing floating houses and coconut-lined waterways before arriving at Unicorn Islet.

Instead of a quick sightseeing stop, this tour transforms the famous coconut candy workshop into a true hands-on cultural experience. Step inside a local riverside family workshop and discover the full “Coconut Life Cycle.”

Watch local hosts crack, scrape, press, and simmer fresh coconuts into rich caramelized candy using traditional methods passed down through generations. Then sit together with village ladies and learn how to hand-wrap warm coconut candy using ultra-thin edible rice paper — a historic zero-waste technique unique to the Mekong.

Continue your island experience with honey tea, tropical fruits, and live Don Ca Tai Tu folk music in a traditional garden setting.

Then board a hand-rowed sampan boat and glide through peaceful coconut canals, one of the Mekong Delta’s most iconic experiences. After a relaxing local lunch surrounded by tropical gardens, return to Ho Chi Minh City in the evening.
