CU CHI TUNNELS AND CITY TOUR WITH BUGGY BUS

MORNING: CU CHI TUNNELS

Located 60km from HCMC, Cu Chi is now a popular spot for both Vietnamese & foreign tourists - the network of over 200km of tunnels became legendary when they played a vital role in the War. In their heyday, the tunnels were functioning underground cities including numerous trap doors, specially constructed living areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers & kitchens.

Today, ducks and water buffalos happily co-exist in the rivers along the side of the road. However, the peaceful rural rice paddy scenery belies the area’s violent history. Visitors will find it hard to imagine the destruction, damage & defoliation over this whole area, caused by bombing and mines. Ample evidence remains of the intense battles that raged here during the 1960s, when Cu Chi was designated a "Free Target Zone."

Start our tour in the morning, before entering the tunnels visitors can watch a short introductory video showing how the tunnels were constructed. You will spend the next hour exploring the tunnels. Afterwards, enjoy tea, cassava (guerrilla’s food during the war) then Return to HCMC.

AFTERNOON: HO CHI MINH CITY BY BUGGY BUS

After coming back from Cu Chi Tunnels, we will stop by the restaurant for you to have lunch on your own. Then you hop on a buggy bus and start the journey to explore HCM city from a buggy bus.
