On the half-day tour, you will spend the morning exploring this large underground area that used to be filled with soldiers.

Start your journey to the Cu Chi Tunnels by leaving your hotel around 8 a.m. You will travel through the countryside that used to be a stronghold of the Viet Cong. When you arrive, you will watch a short video about what life was like for the soldiers during the war.
The small tunnels played a key role in important battles, including the famous 1968 Tet Offensive, and they were damaged by American B52 bombers, which left big craters. The tunnels were not only homes but also served as supply routes and hospitals for many guerrilla fighters. Sadly, many people died there from malaria and other illnesses, but some were also born or married in the tunnels. Today, they are seen by many as a symbol of the strength and resilience of the Vietnamese people.
You will return to Ho Chi Minh City by 12:30 p.m.

26 December 2024 ★★★★★Our group of 6 couples traveled from North to South Vietnam through many cities in 18- days tour. Stephen, from My Way Travel, provided quality service in the planning and organizing our trip, and he was very patient with our changes. The hotels were great; especially in Hoi An, Hanoi and Saigon, as we were within walking distance of the restaurants, shops, and markets. Our personal tour guides in every city were respectful, knowledgeable, and ensured our safety. They guided us through many beautiful places from caves in Halong Bay in the North, to the historical city of Hoi An in central Vietnam, to the picturesque Mekong Delta in the South. Furthermore, every guide recommended fantastic places for regional food specialties. This was a great and memorable experience! We highly recommend their service and will definitely contact Stephen for our next tour.

26 December 2024 ★★★★★The host of our hotel in Saigon (Stephen from the My Way hotel) booked us a tailor-made stay in the Mekong Delta. We didn't worry about anything and the stay met our expectations. The first day we visited the Mekong Delta by boat (Ben Tre and Can Tho) with many tastings. We spent the night in a 4 star hotel with swimming pool in Can Tho. The next day we visited the floating market on the Mekong (coffee on a shopping boat and breakfast at the hotel). In the afternoon we were taken by taxi to a port near Soc Trang which allowed us to take the boat early the next day to go to the island of Con Dao. It is a magnificent island where we were able to hike and enjoy the beautiful views. A great stay, thank you Stephen
