Morning Breakfast at Hotel, then take a half-day tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels, 75 km Northwest of

downtown Ho Chi Minh City, which were once a major underground hideout and resistance

base of Viet Cong forces during the two wars against the French and later on Americans. The

tunnels, entirely hand-dug, formed a highly intricate network of interlinked multilevel

passageways at times stretched as far as the Cambodian border and totaling over 120 km in

length. Its complexity was beyond imagination containing meeting rooms, kitchens, wells,

clinics, schools, depots, trenches and emergency exits all aimed for guerrilla warfare. The

tunnels were deep and strong enough to withstand destructive bombings and self-contained

enough to outlast prolonged sieges. Back to Saigon.

Morning, after breakfast, travel by road to the Mekong Delta, the world’s largest delta and

Vietnam's largest rice bowl. On arrival in My Tho City, capital of Tieng Giang Provine, embark

on a boat and navigate through intricate canals while observing the local daily life up close as

well as the landscape of waterways and lush islands. Land on the Unicorn Island to enjoy

wandering through verdant orchards, tasting fresh fruits and listening to some Southern style

traditional music. Move on to the second delta province, Ben Tre, where you will watch local

villagers make coconut candy in a rural workshop, walk around briefly and try riding a horse

pulled carriage. More cruising to some bee-keeping households to taste fresh homegrown

honey and honey tea.  Go back Ho Chi Minh City and spend time at leisure.
