Explore the Cu Chi Tunnels at Bến Dược

  • Meet your tour guide at 7:30 am for hotel pickup and depart for Ben Duoc Tunnel, about a 1.5-hour drive away. For a long time, Vietnam has been known to international visitors as a country that experienced many years of war and achieved remarkable historical victories. One site that continues to attract visitors who want to broaden their understanding of these historical stories is the Cu Chi Tunnels.
  • Upon arrival, see firsthand the remnants of wartime, including the secret bunkers used as military shelters by Vietnamese soldiers, and watch a documentary film to better understand how Vietnamese people fought bravely to gain independence.
  • Experience crouching and even crawling through the tunnels to imagine how difficult people's lives were in the past.
  • Visit the shooting range at your own expense, with bullets excluded. Before leaving, try tapioca and tea, which were daily dishes of the soldiers in the past.
  • Head back to Ho Chi Minh City, where guests will be dropped off at the hotel.
