05:00 AM: Pick up from the lobby of your hotel in Mui Ne.
Our one-day Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour, including a cruise excursion.
At Cu Chi, our tour guide will provide you with fascinating information about this historic site.
The Cu Chi Tunnels are a sprawling underground network spanning over 200 km. They symbolize the resilience and creativity of the Vietnamese people. Located about 60 km from Saigon, Cu Chi was one of the most intense battlefields during 1960–1972.
While visiting Cu Chi, you'll learn how guerrillas dug, lived, and fought in these tunnels. You'll gain insight into the determination and ingenuity of the Vietnamese in overcoming sophisticated weaponry.
You can watch a documentary on self-made weapons, bamboo traps, and the construction of the tunnels before crawling through the tunnels yourself. You’ll also witness how the locals produce rice paper and rice wine.
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to fire an AK-47? At Cu Chi, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the power of this legendary rifle.
During the American War in 1967, the Cu Chi Base Camp served as the base for the 269th Aviation Battalion of the United States Army. Today, Cu Chi is renowned for its historic tunnels, which served as the Viet Cong’s headquarters during the Vietnam War.
