5 Day Tour of South Vietnam

Day 1: Ho Chi Minh - Da Lat

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your Ho Chi Minh hotel at the scheduled time, marking the start of this exploration through the southern region of Vietnam.

First, we will head to the Vietnam War Remnants Museum. After two hours of delving into the exhibits that educate about one of history's most visible conflicts, we will enjoy a traditional meal before proceeding to the Cu Chi Tunnels.

Following a two-hour journey, we will arrive at this significant historical site, where insights into the strategies, traps, and valiant efforts of the Viet Cong await. You'll have the chance to experience the narrow tunnels firsthand and, if you're inclined, you can also try your marksmanship with some war weapons, including the AK47.

After savoring local delicacies, we will return to Ho Chi Minh City around 7 pm, giving you time to relax. By 11 pm, we will board a sleeper bus to Da Lat for a journey that lasts approximately six hours.

Day 2: Da Lat

Rise early at 8 am for a motorbike tour, where we will connect with the last matriarchal ethnic minority in Vietnam, traverse through scenic waterfalls, serene lakes, silk production sites, and even visit a cricket farm known for its culinary use. Will you have the courage to taste them?

By 6 pm, we will return to Da Lat, where you'll enjoy a delightful Vietnamese dinner paired with the renowned local liquor. Later, a restful night awaits.

Day 3: Da Lat - Ho Chi Minh

The day commences at 8 am with breakfast at a popular restaurant followed by a guided exploration of Da Lat. Known as the City of Love, we'll wander through the enchanting Valley of Love, taking in the hidden temples, palaces, and gardens that characterize the area.

We will commence our return to Ho Chi Minh City at 4 pm, and upon arrival, you'll have the opportunity to rest at your hotel.

Don't miss the chance to experience a cable car ride that leads to the lake, offering breathtaking vistas of the historic architecture of the town.

Day 4: Ho Chi Minh - Can Tho

At 7 am, we will gather at your Ho Chi Minh hotel for a transfer to the bus station, where we'll board a sleeper bus to Can Tho. Upon arrival, a local family will be waiting to welcome us, and we'll store our luggage at riverside accommodations. Next, our bike tour begins, as we explore the Mekong mangroves and the impacts the Vietnam War had on this natural reserve.

After this excursion, a traditional cooking class awaits in the village—an opportunity to learn and taste dishes you've prepared, along with the famous rice liquor.

Day 5: Mekong Delta - Ho Chi Minh

Early risers will be picked up at 5:30 am at the pier for a fascinating exploration of the Mekong Delta, featuring rice fields, lush vegetation, and unique aquatic life. We'll navigate the waterways to visit floating markets and enjoy our lunch aboard the boat, soaking in the picturesque vistas.

The journey continues along the river, including stops at a local rice factory and a cacao plantation. By 4 pm, we will return to Ho Chi Minh City, concluding the 5 Day Tour of South Vietnam approximately three hours later.
