Private Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Trip
Description
Experience the world of the Cu Chi freedom fighters with a visit to their famous tunnel system. This network of over 200 km of tunnels became legendary during the 1960's when they played a vital part in the American War, allowing the Viet Cong to control a large rural area close to Ho Chi Minh City. In their heyday, the tunnels were functioning underground cities.

Itinerary
In the morning, we depart from Ho Chi Minh city to Cu Chi Tunnels. Cu Chi is now considered a heroic district for its role in the anti – American war resistance during the Vietnam war. It is legendary for its over 220km underground tunnel system and is a popular tourist site for both Vietnamese and foreigners. Along the way to Cu Chi from Ho Chi Minh city, we will pass by the scenic local countryside, where you might even spot ducks and buffalo cooling off in the river. You will find it hard to imagine the destruction and damage that once dominated the area, caused by bombing and mines when Cu Chi was “a free target zone.”
After the tunnels, we’ll stop for a lunch of local Vietnamese cuisine before heading back Ho Chi Minh. Here, we’ll visit the Reunification palace, which was the former residence of the President of South Vietnam until the end of the war in April 1975, The Notre Dame cathedral, the General Post Office and the War Remnant Museum. The tour finishes at 17:00.

Tai was a great guide. We didn’t have time to do Ho Chi Minh tunnels due to the limited time we had in port, but he showed us some great attractions around the city and took us to eat the best lunch we had during the entire cruise. Some of the attractions were a little too strenuous for most of our group, but overall it was an amazing day. Thank you, Tai!
We had a private half day tour to Cu Chi Tunnels. The driver was very experienced and kind. We felt safe during the ride. Katie from the office was also very kind. She kept in touch and confirmed our needs and requests. The communication with her was always clear. She always replied quickly. We decided to book another private car with driver for a whole day. A different driver and he also was kind, patient and helpful besides being a experienced driver. My mom got sick during this trip and he was being so helpful and patiently. This exceeded all our expectations. What a wonderful drivers and service! Would definitely recommend this travel agency.
We booked a private transfer to Cu Chi Tunnels and a Half-day City tour in HCMC. Everything was perfect from the first moment till the end. Their prompt response, new vehicle, a friendly driver who can just understand basic English but always smiling and helping us is really touch. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family who are coming to visit Vietnam. Thank you so much!!!
