Day 01
Saigon Highlights and the Cu Chi Tunnels
- In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel lobby and begin the trip with visits to the city's highlights, including Notre Dame Cathedral, the historic Central Post Office, the Reunification Palace, and the War Remnants Museum. You will learn more about this fascinating city with our knowledgeable tour guide.
- After lunch at a local restaurant, we will head to the Cu Chi Tunnels, 60 km from the city centre. This network of more than 200 km of tunnels became legendary for playing a vital role in the war. In their heyday, the tunnels functioned as underground cities, with numerous trap doors, specially constructed living areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centres, and kitchens. You will spend the next hour exploring the tunnels.
- Afterwards, enjoy tea and cassava, the guerrillas' food during the war. We will return to Sai Gon in the late afternoon.
