OPT I: Cu Chi tunnels - HCM City tour (L)

Depart at 8.00AM from your hotel to visit the incredible underground Cu Chi Tunnels.

This network of tunnels, which stretched for over 200km, became legendary during the 1960s. The Cu Chi tunnels played a vital part in the U.S - Vietnam War in that they allowed the Viet Cong to control a large rural area only 30 to 40 km from Saigon.

At its height, the tunnel system stretched from Saigon to the Cambodian border. The network, parts of which were several levels deep, included innumerable trap doors, specifically constructed living areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command central and kitchens.

Today the remaining tunnels have become a major tourist attraction giving the visitor a unique experience and feel of what underground life during the war must have been like.

For those interested there's even the opportunity to try an AK47 or MK16 at the nearby rifle range.

Lunch at Local restaurant

In the afternoon, visit the moving War Remnants Museum which presents a partial, but riveting, view of the American War, as it is known in Vietnam.

Continue to the Reunification Palace, former residence of the Indochina Governor General and later President of the Republic of Southern Vietnam until the fall of Saigon in April 30, 1975.

The day ends with visit to Notre Dame Cathedral and the bustling Ben Thanh Market for shopping. Back to your hotel.
