Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Central Post Office, At the top of Dong Khoi St opposite Notre Dame Cathedral, Ho Chi Minh City 70000 Vietnam

We will meet our guide there.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Cu Chi Tunnels, Ho Chi Minh City 700000 Vietnam

Journey 2.5 hours west towards the Cambodian border. Before arriving at the Cu Chi tunnels, we'll visit with some local friends and gain an insight into local life in the area, both past and present. Learn about their lives, culture, and customs and get an insight into the recent past through local eyes.

Continue on to the Cu Chi tunnels. The location of the tunnels was of significant strategic importance: they're at the end of the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail, and within striking distance of the southern Vietnam capital.

Your local guide will take you on a fascinating tour of the Cu Chi tunnels, where you'll learn more about the conditions the people lived in, the hardships they faced, and the amazing ingenuity employed to maintain life in the tunnels. We walk past huge bomb craters - evidence of the heavy bombing campaigns in the region during the Indochina conflict, discover hidden entrances right beneath your feet, wander past tiny little chimneys in the ground that dispersed smoke from the underground kitchens, sample some of the simple cuisine that local fighters would have survived on, and have an opportunity to venture into the tunnels and explore the complex.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Ho Chi Minh City Museum, 65 Ly Tu Trong, Ben Nghe ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City 70000 Vietnam

You'll end this historical Ho Chi Minh City tour with a greater understanding of the local impacts of the conflicts of the 20th century.

Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

Wow! This was an amazing tour! Our guide, Tan, shared SO much history and background regarding Cu Chi and Vietnam in the 19th and 20th centuries - I was transfixed by it all! To see and learn about this history firsthand is truly an incredible experience and he made it very easy and pleasant for us. Don’t come to Ho Chi Minh and miss the tunnels!

Tan provided an excellent overview of the Cu Chi tunnels, as well as providing context around what led to their creation. He shared that his parents were actually former Viet Cong and shared important details that helped bring to life what it meant to survive underground. Tour was timely, well run, and conducted with key historical detail. Helpful for day 1 in HCMC!

Linda was our tour guide—she was very knowledgeable and made sure all of our questions were answered. She did not rush but explained thoroughly the details of the cu chi tunnels. We were impressed and signed up with her for the next day’s tour to the Mekong Delta.
