Day 2 Ho Chi Minh City Tour - Cu Chi Tunnels

Take a family breakfast at your hotel and await the arrival of our guide. Our first stop on today’s half-day city tour will be the Independence Palace, also called the Reunification Palace, both of which refer to Vietnam’s successful 20th-century campaigns to both oust the colonial French and reunite the divided country. We follow this with a visit to the War Remnants Museum, which will give us a better understanding about the Vietnam War. We finish the city tour with a look around the impressive colonial architecture of the Notre Dame Cathedral and adjacent Post Office before sitting down to lunch at a local restaurant.

After this, we take the drive to the Cu Chi Tunnels, a staggering 250km underground network of Viet Cong hospitals, command centres, living quarters and weapons factories, all on the doorstep of Saigon. We will walk around the tunnels and explore the modern history within, emerging afterwards to find examples of past skirmishes in the bomb craters and burnt out tanks that litter the jungle floor above.

Our departure time this morning is 08:00 AM, so you can enjoy breakfast with your family before meeting our guide in your hotel lobby. We will head south past some typically beautiful Vietnamese countryside scenery, ending on the shores of the mighty Mekong River within the Mekong Delta. We stop at Cai Be, the location of one of the delta’s best floating markets, into which we will cruise on a quaint local boat and discover the vibrant sights within.

After this, we dock on the lush green shores of the Mekong River and take a look at some of the local trades in operation here. Rice popcorn and rice paper are just two of these, operating out of humble, family-run workshops in attractive riverside villages. At a local house, the obliging owners will cook a delicious lunch for us, followed by a chance to relax in their verdant gardens or explore more of the Mekong Delta via cycling along picturesque village paths.

The driver will arrive in the early afternoon to take you to Ho Chi Minh City’s airport, where your domestic flight to Danang awaits. In Danang, our tour guide and driver will collect you and complete the journey with a 45-minute transfer to Hoi An Ancient Town. 

Whatever is left of the day is yours to spend as free time, so this offers a great chance to head to Hoi An’s tailors, who will create personally fitted clothes for a fraction of the price that you would get them for back home. These clothes can take a few days to make, so it’s best to order them early and pick them up before leaving the town. Overnight in Hoi An.

Day 5 Hoi An Farming & Fishing Eco Tour

After breakfast this morning, your family can take the choice of either a transfer or a pleasant cycle to Tra Que, a nearby organic farming village. The welcoming farmers here will show us the traditional techniques that they still use to grow their crops, letting you and the kids get stuck into the planting, watering and harvesting of exotic produce. A popular highlight for children is riding atop a placid water buffalo and ploughing the rice fields – truly a precious family moment.

From here, we board a local coracle – a round-bottomed ‘basket boat’ used as simple but effective fishing vessels by the locals. We continue to learn more about agricultural traditions as our guide explains the locals’ continued use of age-old techniques, giving the chance to the kids to cast their fishing nets into the river and paddle the unique basket boats upstream. We head through beautifully luxuriant canals flanked by deep-green nipa palm and emerge on land, where we will tour the gorgeous local villages, returning to the boat afterwards for a tasty lunch.

We return to Hoi An after this for a free afternoon. After all the excitement of the morning, perhaps your family would appreciate some relaxing time at the beach, available on Hoi An’s northwestern white-sand coast at Cua Dai and An Bang. Overnight in Hoi An.
