HO CHI MINH CITY & CU CHI TUNNELS

First half day is to explore Ho Chi Minh City’s highlights including the Reunification Palace, War Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral, Old Centre Post Office and Ben Than Market.

 

In the afternoon, visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, which are 70 kilometers North West of Ho Chi Minh City, created in 1948 to assist the Viet Minh to combat the French. This is an underground city with living areas, kitchens, storage, weapon shops, field hospitals, command centers. During the American/Vietnam War, the entire area of Cu Chi was designated a fire free zone and was heavily bombarded. Since 1988, two sections of the tunnels have been open for visitors. You can try shooting real guns in Cu Chi with M16, M60 & AK47 (on your own expense)!
