Get a taste of Southern Vietnam's vibrant energy and lush landscapes on this compact 4-day tour. Perfect for a short break, this itinerary covers the essential highlights: explore the historical landmarks and bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City, gain insights into wartime history at the Cu Chi Tunnels, and experience the unique culture and scenery of the Mekong Delta on a fascinating day trip to My Tho and Unicorn Island.
Welcome to Vietnam! Upon arrival at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN), please look for our driver holding a sign with your name. You will be transferred to your hotel in the city center (approx. 45-60 minutes). Check-in time is 2:00 PM. Settle in and enjoy the rest of the day exploring the vibrant surroundings at your leisure.
(Pick up approx. 7:45 AM) Your day begins with a pickup from your hotel or meeting point for a tour of Ho Chi Minh City's downtown area. See famous landmarks along Dong Khoi street, including the Opera House, City Hall, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Central Post Office, and the historic Independence Palace. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, travel about 70km northwest to Hoc Mon district to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels. Learn about this extensive underground network, originally built in 1948 and significantly expanded during the Vietnam War. Explore the site and gain insights into the conditions faced during wartime. Return to your hotel in the late afternoon.
(Depart approx. 8:15 AM)
Depart from your hotel by air-conditioned bus for a day trip to My Tho city in the Mekong Delta. Upon arrival, board a motorboat and cruise along the mighty Mekong River, observing floating fish farms along the way. Reach Unicorn Island (Cồn Thới Sơn) and take a traditional horse cart ride to a performance site. Here, you'll enjoy seasonal tropical fruits while listening to Vietnamese folk music (Đàn Ca Tài Tử - UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage). Next, experience a peaceful ride on a small hand-rowing sampan boat, gliding through narrow creeks lined with overhanging coconut trees. Visit a bee-keeping farm to enjoy honey tea and see a typical Mekong house. After a short walk, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Following lunch, board the motorboat again to visit a workshop where you'll learn how traditional coconut candies are made (and taste some samples!). Around 3:00 PM, board the bus for your return journey to Ho Chi Minh City.
Enjoy a final breakfast at your hotel. This is a free and easy day for any last-minute souvenir shopping or exploration until it's time for your departure. Please note the check-out time is 12:00 PM.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the length of your stay. Many nationalities are eligible for visa exemptions for short stays (usually 15-45 days). Others may need to apply for an e-visa online in advance or obtain a visa via a Vietnamese embassy/consulate. We strongly recommend checking the latest official visa requirements for your specific passport country well before your travel date. We can provide general guidance, but the responsibility for obtaining the correct visa lies with the traveller.
While we do not include travel insurance in our standard packages, we highly recommend that all travellers purchase comprehensive travel insurance before departing for Vietnam. Good insurance protects you against unforeseen circumstances like trip cancellation, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and travel delays. Proof of insurance may sometimes be requested.
