What We Include…
We start our trip with pick-up directly from the port by your English speaking guide for the Cu Chi Tunnels with Speedboat & Saigon City tour. We start off with a drive to the center of Saigon and board our boat at another pier for the 1 hour ride to Cu Chi. On board you will be served a light breakfast including Pat a Chou cake and seasonal fruit. After disembarking, we go to the tunnels which are a preserved monument of the Vietnam War used by the Vietcong.
The tunnel system runs for some 200km and extends to the Cambodian border, with over 100km being preserved and enlarged by the Vietnamese Government. Here you will be guided through the portal to an underground world in the jungle. Once there you can get a better idea of the spaces that thousands of troops called home for extended periods. The system includes living spaces, storage areas, small factories, and hospital facilities. Then at the end of the journey try your hand at some target practice by firing live ammo from AK47s at the range. time providing we also take a short break to learn about rice paper and rice wine production before having tea and cassava and heading back by car to Saigon.
Along the way we will stop for a traditional Vietnamese lunch, and then take a brief Saigon city tour of the main attractions such as Notre Dame Cathedral, the historic central post office, and Ben Thanh Market based on the time left. Then we head back to the port and drop you off in the harbor to board your ship before your departure time.
