SAIGON - MY THO - CU CHI TUNNELS

Why choose this tour?

Southern Vietnam is not just Ho Chi Minh City.

Within a relatively short distance from Saigon, the landscape changes dramatically — from a busy modern city to the rivers, canals and coconut plantations of the Mekong Delta, and then to the historic Cu Chi Tunnels.

This private tour brings these experiences together in one well-organised programme, so you can see several very different sides of southern Vietnam without having to arrange separate excursions yourself.

Ho Chi Minh City

Start your journey in Vietnam's largest city and explore some of its most important historical and cultural landmarks.

Depending on the programme, you can visit places such as the former Independence Palace, the Central Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral, Ben Thanh Market and other important sites in the city centre.

But Saigon is more than a collection of monuments. It is a city where traditional Vietnamese life, French colonial architecture, rapid modern development and everyday street life exist side by side.

My Tho and the Mekong Delta

The Mekong Delta offers a completely different experience from Ho Chi Minh City.

Around My Tho, you leave the urban environment behind and enter a landscape of rivers, canals, coconut palms and smaller communities.

Boat transportation and local activities give you a chance to see how people live and work in one of Vietnam's most important agricultural regions.

It is not simply a sightseeing stop — it is an opportunity to experience a very different side of southern Vietnam.

Cu Chi Tunnels

The Cu Chi Tunnels are one of Vietnam's best-known historical sites.

The extensive underground tunnel system was used during the Vietnam War and played an important role in the area's military history.

A visit here provides context that is difficult to understand from photographs or history books alone. Your guide can explain how the tunnel network was organised, how it was used and what life in the surrounding area was like during the conflict.

Who is this tour suitable for?

This tour is a good choice if you are visiting southern Vietnam for the first time and want to combine:

• Ho Chi Minh City's main sights
• a Mekong Delta experience
• an important historical site
• private transportation
• a local guide
• a comfortable, organised programme

It is particularly suitable for travellers who prefer a private tour rather than joining a large group and want the flexibility to adapt the programme if necessary.

Can the itinerary be changed?

Yes.

This ready-made tour is a starting point, not a fixed package that you have to accept exactly as presented.

If you would like more time in Ho Chi Minh City, a different Mekong Delta experience, additional sightseeing, different hotels or a different pace of travel, we can adapt the itinerary to your needs.

We are a licensed travel agency based directly in Vietnam, with more than 15 years of local experience. That means we can adjust the programme based on actual local conditions rather than simply selling a standard catalogue itinerary.
