The Cu Chi Tunnels - an amazing underground network was dug by Vietkong soldiers throughout the war is a must-see historical destination in Southern Vietnam. Mekong Delta is a fascinating destination on holidays. Besides stunning and peaceful rural landscapes, the hospitable and welcoming locals play a vital role in attracting sightseers. This combined tour is specially designed for people who do not have much time in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), but we still highly suggest to sightsee them separately if you could arrange your time.
