Located about 60 kilometers to the northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, it is an extensive labyrinth of underground tunnels that stretch all the way to the Cambodian border. The Cu Chi Tunnels network was built within 25 years from 1948 during the war against the French. It served as a means of communication between villages and helped the Vietnamese to evade scouting French soldiers.

Upon on arrival, we will watch a short documentary film about this tunnels tell you how about the histories and how fierce the war happened.

Still called Saigon by many locals, is a center of commerce, finance, culture and tourism in Vietnam. This bustling metropolis, contradiction of its northern counterpart, is crowded with bikes and motorbikes, excited by numerous shopping area and sidewalk café. A city tour takes us in the Reunification Palace which was the former residence of the President of South Vietnam until end of April 1975. Close to the palace are some French colonial structures including the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Old Sai Gon Post Office.

Depart Saigon for a 1.5hr drive to Ben Tre Province in the Mekong Delta, famous for its tropical fruit gardens and traditional products made of coconuts. Visit a brick factory to learn how bricks are made by hand using centuries-old traditional methods before boarding your private local boat and cruising along the waterways to observe the way of life on the river.
Shore excursions include a coconut workshop where almost every part of the coconut is used for candies and crafts, and a family-run mat workshop where you can try your hand at weaving the ubiquitous straw sleeping mats. A 3km (2mi) ride by tuk-tuk or bicycle takes you to the home of a fruit farmer where you can sample tropical fruits. After lunch at a local restaurant, board a rowing sampan for close up views of the water palm-lined waterways of the Delta. Go back to your car and continue the journey to Can Tho

There are many boats from small to big gather on a part of river to do their daily business with the agriculture produces like fruits and vegetables (many kind of fruits & vegetables of the tropic weather).
( But this legacy of Mekong Delta we may no longer find in the next 10 years because of the development of roads as well as the living conditions of people have become increasingly better )
Later, we will stop at the rice noodle and the rice husking mill village to see how the local people produce their produces. Then, the boat made another cruises around the small countryside of Can Tho. Here, we will have a chance to experience how to pass a “Monkey bridge” which is built by only one bamboo before the car transfern you head straight to An Giang province, to visit the charming beauty of Tra Su Forest, cruise on a rowing sampan through the mysterious forest and take time to observe all creatures living there, FANTASTIC!
