Comfort will be number one in the quest through Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. Please wear light, breathable clothing for comfort in this tropical environment; at the same time, opt for darker shades to minimize showing dirt. Comfortable and sturdy shoes are must-haves, especially while walking in the narrow tunnels and during island exploration. Be sure to protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat and sunglasses, and applying plenty of sunscreen. Do not forget the insect repellent for the Mekong Delta. Refillable water bottle to keep you hydrated, camera for great scenery, lovely moments of our tour completion.
Your health and safety come first. Keep yourself well-hydrated by drinking water throughout the day, especially during the heat. Never leave the group, and always stay with your guide. These instructions, however, are more relevant when going to explore inside the tunnels. Move slowly while inside because some of them are very narrow and closed-in. Basic first-aid products will be provided, but please carry any personal medications that you might need. Always carry some hand sanitizer to keep your hands clean, in particular, after you touch anything around the tunnels or during our river cruise.
One has to respect the local customs and traditions while visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta. Though comfortable clothes are a must, one must dress modestly, especially in the native villages. Greet with a gesture of your hand combined with a slight bow or nod, for that will be most appreciated by the locals. A simple “Xin chao" means hello. Be observant of, and show respect toward, the local customs and traditions; ask before taking pictures of people. Put trash in its places to keep clean the environment. That is a beautiful Mekong Delta area, so we would like to help keep it that way. Be respectful and quiet while visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels because this is an area of great bloodshed and solemn remembrance.
