ITINERARY

Pick up from Saigon port in Ho Chi Minh City and take 1,5 hour drive to visit the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, an incredible underground network constructed by Vietnamese fighters during the Vietnam War. The tunnels contained accommodations, schools and hospitals and were used as a military base for the Vietcong. The sight supports a small museum of photos and artifacts, as well as an extensive outdoor exhibit of guerilla snares and reconstructions of the original tunnels and bunkers.

Upon arrival in the tunnel area, you will learn the history of the land with a documentary film.
Continue to wander past little trail and discover secret entrances and booby-traps beneath your feet, visiting little bunkers, individual shelter and fighting holes, living rooms, military workshops, underground smokeless kitchens and so on.

You will have chance to sample some of the simple cuisine that local fighters would have survived on and have an opportunity to venture into the tunnels and explore the complex. All will help you to learn more about the conditions the people lived in, the hardships they faced and the amazing ingenuity employed to maintain life in the tunnels. Complete with a try of firing Russian Carbine rifles AK 47’s if you wish to. Driving back your cruise ship after about nearly 2hours exploring the tunnel.
