Itinerary

The Southern Vietnam itinerary is an easy and interesting schedule to visit the bustling Ho Chi Minh City, explore the Cu Chi Tunnels and take your time cruising around in the small canals of all the Mekong delta tours have to offer. This trip offsets the best look at local lives in the area with the choice of luxury or deluxe taste of overnight onboard a Mekong cruise. This is the best itinerary for those who are looking for an effective South Vietnam tour in a reasonable timeframe. Here are the highlights of this tour:

  • Get lost in the crazily weaved traffic of Saigon and to live with its hustle-bustle
  • Surprised with the complicated tunnel networks at Cu Chi during the Vietnam War, followed by a unique praying ceremony of Caodaism followers in Tay Ninh.
  • Explore the local life and people of Mekong in style with many hands-on experiences
