Ho Chi Minh - Cu Chi Day Tour (HCM1B)

Overview:

Formerly Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City has enough to occupy your attention. It doesn’t quite appear to be as historic as other parts of Vietnam, but the dynamism, personality and spirit are enough to charm you. Today Ho Chi Minh City is very much the heart of Vietnamese business and entrepreneurs. Here dozens of elegant temples and pagodas can be seen. The French also left their mark with some fine colonial-era buildings such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office. And we specially introduce you a historic place: Cu Chi Tunnel, the location of several military campaigns, famous for being used as a hideout for surprise attacks against the American and their allied troops in the Vietnam War.

Itinerary:

In the morning, the guide will pick you up at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City at about 8:30 and head to Cu Chi tunnels, an underground tunnels network constructed by Vietnamese fighters during their struggle for independence. Before going underground, a short introductory video showing how the tunnels were constructed will be given. We then spend time exploring the maze of tunnels including the secret cellar-door, museum of self-made weapons, shooting range, garment-factory ammunition, and tunnels to have a real look at how the Vietcong communists were able to survive in this tiny underground network.

After lunch in Cu Chi, we transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City, visiting the Notre Dame Cathedral located in a very peaceful picturesque corner of Ho Chi Minh City. Let’s visitors escape the maniacal buzz of motorbikes for a few minutes. And crossing the road, we will reach the Central Post Office - a significant symbol of the city then. This trip ends at around 17:30 at your hotel.
