In Vietnamese culture, the act of sharing meals with family is considered to be an important aspect of maintaining strong family ties. Family meals are viewed as a time to not only nourish the body, but also to nourish the soul. Family meals are a way to strengthen these relationships and reinforce the importance of family ties. They provide an opportunity for family members to come together, share their thoughts and feelings, and connect on a deeper level.

Many persons towards the end of their lives remember the teachings and entrusting of family members over meals. This is a truly unique culture.

Travel by speedboat via Saigon River to the Viet Cong tunnel network at Cu Chi, an important base in the communist guerilla campaign against US and South Vietnamese forces, to learn about the Vietnam war in this half day trip.
The Cu Chi Tunnels stretched over 250 miles from the western outskirts of Saigon to the Cambodia border. The tunnels had bunkrooms, hospital rooms, kitchens, and even a few classrooms. And there were escape hatches and trap doors everywhere. Proximity to Saigon and the communist supply lines across the Cambodian border, gave the Cu Chi area great strategic importance from French colonial times through the American war. The simplicity of the tunnels concept and the deadly determination of Viet Cong fighters, made this place a bitterly contested battleground.
After the historical exploration, return to Ho Chi Minh city and the rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy.
In the evening, cruise the scenic Saigon River while indulging in a delightful Vietnamese buffet dinner on board, take in view of Ho Chi Minh City's illuminated landmarks as the sun goes down and the city lights up. It’s a brilliant way to conclude the day.
