From Ho Chi Minh To Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Tour Day Trip
07:00 AM – Hotel Pick-Up
Our guide and driver will pick you up from the lobby of your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City for an early departure to Cu Chi Tunnel. Sit back and relax as we begin an exciting day of discovery.
Cu Chi Tunnels Exploration
Upon arrival at Cu Chi Tunnels, our professional tour guide will introduce you to one of Vietnam’s most important historical sites.
The Cu Chi Tunnels are an extensive underground network stretching over 200 kilometers, symbolizing the resilience, creativity, and determination of the Vietnamese people. Located approximately 60 km from Saigon, Cu Chi was one of the fiercest battlefields during the period 1960–1972.
During your visit, you will:
Learn how Vietnamese guerrilla fighters dug, lived, and fought underground
Gain insight into how they survived and resisted advanced military technology
Watch a documentary film showcasing self-made weapons, bamboo traps, and tunnel construction techniques
See demonstrations of traditional methods for making rice paper and rice wine
Crawl through a section of the tunnels to experience life underground firsthand (optional)
For those interested, you may also experience the thrill of firing a legendary AK-47 rifle at the shooting range (optional and at your own expense).
Historically, during the American War in 1967, the Cu Chi Base Camp served as the headquarters of the 269th Aviation Battalion of the U.S. Army. Today, the area is best known as the former headquarters of the Viet Cong and remains a powerful reminder of Vietnam’s wartime history.
