A DAY TO CU CHI TUNNEL & HO CHI MINH CITY

5/5
5/5

If you're ever in Vietnam, Cu Chi tunnel tour is a must. It's a fantastic experience that travel bloggers rave about. The Cu Chi tunnels are a vast network of underground tunnels used by the Viet Cong during the war. They were ingenious and allowed the VC to move around undetected and launch surprise attacks. Today, the tunnels have been turned into tourist attractions, and you can explore them yourself.

A DAY TO CU CHI TUNNEL & HO CHI MINH CITY

Today’s tour will begin at 07:30. After breakfast drive away from the city centre toward the Cu Chi district. Leaving the city behind, the scenery changes to views of rice paddies, villagers drying noodles by the side of the road and other scenes typical to southern Vietnam.
Arrive at the entrance of the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, an incredible underground tunnel network constructed by Vietnamese resistance fighters (Viet Cong) during both the French and American wars. Hear the tales of how these tunnels were built while walking through the forest. Visit two sections of the tunnel where it is possible to crawl inside to experience first-hand what life was like living underground. There are also several other informative displays and war relics around the area to explore.
After this morning’s Cu Chi Tunnels tour, return to the city centre in time for lunch. Then take a closer look at the city itself, starting at. Reunification Hall This fascinating building, once known as the Presidential Palace, is filled with history. Hear the story of how, on 30 April 1975, North Vietnamese tanks seized the building as Saigon fell. Continue to the Old Post Office and Notre Dame Cathedral, two colonial-style monuments with interesting pasts.
The final stop of the day is Ben Thanh market. Located in the heart of the city, this market is one of the liveliest in the area. Rub shoulders with the locals while browsing the countless stalls selling fruits, tea and dry goods.
Return to the hotel and reflect back upon this incredible day of history and local culture. (L)
