Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)8hThu, Sep 19, 2024
Explore the major attractions of Ho Chi Minh City, visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, and gain insight into Vietnam's history.
Our tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in downtown Ho Chi Minh City (District 1). From there, we'll begin our exploration of the city.
Our first stop will be the Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace, built on the site of the former Norodom Palace. The Independence Palace is a famous landmark in Ho Chi Minh City and was designed by the architect Ngo Viet Thu.
Next, we'll admire the beautiful structures from the French Colonial era, such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Central Post Office. We'll then visit the remarkable War Remnants Museum, which has a vast display covering both the Indochina wars.
Afterward, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant, then, we'll head to Cu Chi, which will take approximately one and a half hours by bus.
Upon arrival in Cu Chi, you'll first watch a short introduction video about how the tunnels were constructed and how people survived in the harsh conditions of wartime. After the video, you'll have time to explore the remaining areas and tunnel systems. These include specially constructed living areas with kitchens and bedrooms, alongside military facilities such as storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers that helped tunnel inhabitants meet their basic needs. Additionally, you'll see many hidden trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels that provided security during the war.
Afterward, special tea and cassava (the guerrillas' food during the war) will be served. You'll then have some break time to relax or, for those interested, to try real shooting guns (for an additional charge).
Finally, we will return to Saigon, and you will be dropped off at your hotel at around 7:00 PM, concluding the trip.
