Full-day Cu Chi Tunnels & Ho Chi Minh City Highlights

Begin your journey with a fascinating visit to the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels, an extraordinary underground network stretching more than 250 kilometers. Built in 1948 during the resistance against French colonial rule, these tunnels later became a vital base for the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. They served as living quarters, hospitals, storage rooms, and command centers for thousands of soldiers. Walking through the narrow passageways offers a profound glimpse into the resilience, intelligence, and determination of those who once lived and fought underground. The intricate system also showcases the ingenuity of the Vietnamese people in overcoming immense challenges under wartime conditions.

In the afternoon, the tour continues through the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City to explore its historical and cultural highlights. Visit the War Remnants Museum, which presents powerful exhibits about the country’s history, and the Reunification Palace, once the home of South Vietnam’s president and a symbol of national unity. Admire the striking French architecture of the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Old Post Office before heading to Thien Hau Pagoda, a serene Chinese-style temple in the heart of Cho Lon (Chinatown). This full-day exploration perfectly combines Vietnam’s rich history, spiritual culture, and architectural charm.
