Our tour starts at 8:30 in the morning, where you'll meet our experienced tour guide and skilled driver at your hotel lobby. We will then begin driving towards Cu Chi district, located 60km away from Ho Chi Minh City.
Cu Chi is a historic district that played a significant role during the anti-American war in Vietnam. It is best known for its legendary original tunnels system, which spans over 220km, making it a must-visit destination for both Vietnamese and foreign visitors. The fascinating tunnel system was used as a base for guerrilla fighters who launched surprise attacks and transported supplies during the war.
As we drive towards Cu Chi, you'll pass through serene rural rice paddy scenery, where you'll see ducks and water buffalos swimming in the rivers alongside the road. However, this peaceful setting stands in stark contrast to the destruction, damage, and defoliation caused by bombing and mines during the war period when Cu Chi was considered a Free Target Zone. Visitors can explore the remnants of this period that remain scattered around the area, reminding us of the fierce battlegrounds that took place there and the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike.
After exploring the historic Cu Chi tunnels system with our knowledgeable tour guide, we'll head back to Ho Chi Minh City, where you'll arrive at your hotel by 1:30 PM.
