Your Itinerary
It’s an 0800 start from Ho Chi Minh City for the drive to Cu Chi*. Gradually, the city scenery merges into views of rice paddies, villagers drying noodles by the side of the road and other typical scenes of southern Vietnamese life. Arriving at the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, you are about to experience a remarkable taste of recent history. This vast, three-tiered tunnel network was constructed by Vietnamese resistance fighters (the Viet Cong) during both the French and American wars. The tunnels played a major role as a refuge for villagers and soldiers alike. Now widened for easy access, the tunnels are open for you to explore. Head back to Ho Chi Minh City for lunch at a popular BBQ restaurant for a ‘grill your own’ lunch. Leave the centre of the city for Cholon, the Chinese quarter, for a wonderful tour of the bustling local streets by cyclo – the perfect way to taste local life! At the end of the afternoon indulge the kids with a special surprise – an intimate musical performance at a private Truc Mai House which belongs to a couple renowned as Vietnam’s most accomplished exponents of traditional Vietnamese music. After enjoying the expert performance, it’s time to have a go yourself… Get the feel of these ingenious, handmade instruments and have a go at making sweet music! Following the performance, drive back to your hotel.
*As an optional extra treat, the return journey can be taken by speedboat along the Saigon River.
