Sample Tours >> Vietnam Classic Tours :>> South Vietnam highlights 12 days A twelve-day introduction to the south of Vietnam including a tour of Indochina's largest city, the fascinating Mekong Delta, Phu Quoc Island and the wartime Cu Chi Tunnels. As you'll be travelling tailor-made, you can use our unique tour design service to modify this itinerary to suite your preferences – extend your tour, change Phu Quoc Island to Mui Ne Beach – whatever you wish. We don't charge to the service no matter how many changes you want to make. :> Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City Arrival (D) Arrive at the Tan Son Nhat airport, you’ll be greeted by your guide and driven to the city centre for hotel check-in. You’ll have time to relax after your journey before a welcome dinner at a Vietnamese traditional restaurant. Your overnight will be in Ho Chi Minh city. :> Day 2: Ho Chi Minh City Orientation (B/L) After breakfast, your guide will arrive to show you around Ho Chi Minh City. You’ll visit the History Museum where there is a special exhibition of the 5th century ‘Oc Eo’ civilisation. The Museum of War Remnants provides a very partial, but riveting, perspective of the ‘American War’: not for the squeamish! The Notre Dame Cathedral, the Centre Post Office and the huge Ben Thanh market, one of the liveliest areas of Ho Chi Minh City. You’ll also call in at the Jade Emperor Temple. You’ll spend the night in Ho Chi Minh City.
:> Day 3: Ho Chi Minh City – Tay Ninh – Cu Chi (B/L) A morning drive will take you to Tay Ninh to visit the temple of Cao Dai and attend the fantastic mid-day ceremony. After lunch, you’ll visit the famous Cu Chi tunnels, a byzantine maze of underground passages, chambers, rooms and booby traps used by both the Vietminh and the Viet Cong to suddenly materialise as if from nowhere, launch a lightning ambush, and vanish equally rapidly. Your overnight will be in Ho Chi Minh City. :> Day 4: Ho Chi Minh City – Vinh Long – Can Tho (B/L) After escaping from Ho Chi Minh City’s urban sprawl, you’ll travel to Vinh Long. There, you’ll cruise on the Mekong River, visit Cai Be floating market, fruit orchards, a traditional family-run brick kiln, and drop in to look at some traditional cottage industries - a workshop making the huge coffins unique to the Mekong is particularly interesting. Your overnight will be in Can Tho. :> Day 5: Can Tho – Chau Doc (B/L) In the morning, a boat cruise will include visits to a bonsai garden, the old house, local houses making confectionery and Cai Be floating market. You’ll also have chance to enjoy the Mekong Delta music performed by local people. In the afternoon, you’ll drive to Chau Doc. You’ll spend overnight in Chau Doc. :> Day 6: Chau Doc (B/L) After breakfast, you’ll board a small sailing boat to visit floating houses farming Basa fish, Cham ethnic minority villages and a mosque. Next, you’ll take a drive to the Sam Mountain. It’s an easy climb to the summit of Sam Mountain, and worth the effort because the views of the pancake-flat Mekong and the plain across the Cambodian border are striking. At the foot of the mountain, a visit to the Temple of Lady Chua Su can be arranged. After lunch in town, you can choose another option to visit the ‘Bone Pagoda’ in Ba Chuc, so-called because it houses a collection of skulls of Vietnamese people killed by the Khmer Rouge during 1975 and 1978.
