Hotel Pick-up & Departure

We pick up guests at several hotels; your hotel might be the first, so please be ready by 08:00a.m./01:00p.m.

Amidst the vibrant bustle of Sài Gòn’s streets, we set off towards the historic Củ Chi tunnels, leaving behind the urban buzz for a journey through Việt Nam’s rich history and culture. We’ll be taking a brief pit stop at a local lacquerware factory to freshen up and use the restroom.

Step Into History & Explore the Cu Chi Tunnels

Upon arrival at the remarkable Củ Chi Tunnels, get ready to delve into a captivating experience that will transport you back in time. Spend approximately 1.5 to 2 hours exploring this historical site, where you’ll have the opportunity to engage in various activities and learn more about the Việt Nam War from a Vietnamese perspective.

Watch a brief propaganda video about the Việt Nam War to gain a deeper understanding of the Vietnamese perspective.

We’ll explore various underground bunkers, including a kitchen, meeting room, and ammunition storage, and also visit weapon and booby trap exhibitions during your visit.

For the adventurous, choose to navigate the authentic VC tunnels, with options of 20m, 60m, or 100m distances, offering a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by soldiers.

Take a moment to immerse yourself in history by visiting the shooting range, where you can opt to try firing AK47s and M16s. Please note that the cost of bullets is not included in the tour.

Indulge in a taste of local tea and tapioca, the sustenance that kept VC fighters going during the war. It’s a chance to appreciate the significance of these humble provisions and their role in the daily lives of those in conflict.

Tour Ends & Drop-off

After immersing ourselves in the rich history of Củ Chi Tunnels, we leave the site behind and journey back to Hồ Chí Minh City.
