CU CHI TUNNELS HALF DAY

This tour, perfect for history and war buffs, will take you back to wartime, where you can explore the famous Cu Chi tunnels, try your hand at shooting accuracy with an AK-47, and even sample food eaten by Vietnamese soldiers during the war.

We depart at 8:30 am from the office rr pick up at your hotel to the Cu Chi Tunnel, which is 60 km from Ho Chi Minh City. Cu Chi is now considered a heroic district for its role in the anti–American war in Vietnam. It is legendary for its tunnel system of over 220 km and is a popular spot for both Vietnamese and foreigners.

The famous Cu Chi Tunnels are a network of underground tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City. The tunnels were used as a military base for resistance to US forces during the Vietnam War and were often used as hiding spots or for spy activities.

Along the way to Cu Chi from Ho Chi Minh City, we will pass by the scenic local countryside, where you might even spot ducks and buffalo cooling off in the river. You will find it hard to imagine the destruction and damage that once dominated the area, caused by bombing and mines when Cu Chi was “a free target zone.”

Lunch is at a local restaurant. The tour ends at about 3:30 p.m.
