Located 60km from Ho Chi Minh City, Cu Chi is now considered a heroic district for its role during the American war in Vietnam. It is legendary for its network of tunnels, which extend over 220km, and is a popular destination for both Vietnamese and foreign visitors.

The fighters of Cu Chi took the war underground by developing a network of tunnels that stretched as far as Cambodia, which included: meeting rooms, kitchens and ventilation systems. These tunnels served as an effective network for engaging in guerilla warfare against U.S troops.

Explore the Cu Chi Tunnels which display the loyalty and creativity of Viet Cong Soldiers during the struggle for Vietnam independence. This guided tour brings you to one of the most remarkable attractions in South of Vietnam. Started early from the lobby of your hotel or specific place, your tour guides pick you up then drive straight to the Cu Chi Tunnels.

This connecting underground system took nearly 25 years to be built and it included everything needed for the life of local inhabitants: command center, meeting rooms, kitchens, hospitals, factories, weapon storage and much more! On this historic tour you get to spend a day walking and exploring this broad underground network that was buzzing in the past with ten thousands of commandos.

You will have a chance to learn how these soldiers incredibly survived while hiding themselves undetected by Americans through many years, also their fine technique for controlling smoke while cooking. Get ready to crawl inside an allocation of 121 kilometers long of the numerous and complex layered tunnels! Surprisingly, this locus is totally different from the modern appearance of Vietnam nowadays. After learning interactive lessons about the Vietnam’s guerilla, you have a delicious family-style lunch with many Southern traditional foods while you can also enjoy the peaceful rural atmosphere here.

 

PHU MY PORT - CU CHI TUNNEL - HO CHI MINH CITY TOUR FROM CRUISE (-/L/-)
 

Upon your arrival in Phu My Port, you will be welcome by Luco Travel's tour guide & driver and transfer to Cu Chi tunnel, otherwise known as the “Iron Triangle” or “Iron Land” in war time. On the way we will drive through pleasant countryside; rubber plantations and rice paddies.

 

 

Before entering the tunnels, we will see a short introductory video showing how they were constructed, followed by an exploration of the maze of tunnels, some of which have been widened to allow tourist access.

Also on display are various mantraps and the remains of an American tank as well as numerous bomb craters made by 500lb bombs dropped by B52 bombers.

After that travelers can try delicious manioc which was the main food for guerilla-warriors in Cu Chi during the war. Visitors can try to fire off an AK47 or MK16 or machine guns at the nearby shooting range. (on request and under control by Vietnamese Army, allow above 18 years old)

We have a special lunch at Ben Nay Restaurant before going back to Ho Chi Minh city.

After lunch time, we will go to Ho Chi Minh City center to visit the War Remnants Museum: Formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes, this is a poignant display of the futility of war. Some of the black and white photography in the ‘Requiem’ exhibit is particularly touching, dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who perished during the conflict. The courtyard outside contains the spoils of war, namely rusting jets, tanks and cannons captured from the American military machine, The Reunification Palace: This is one of the most important buildings in the city. Here on April 30th 1975 the ‘American War’ officially ended when tank number 843 of the North Vietnamese Army crashed through the gates of what was, at the time, the residence of the President of the Republic of Vietnam. (outside). Visit the former US Embassy where the last helicopter flew out of Saigon in 1975.

 

Ho Chi Minh City

 

We also stop to visit Notre Dame Cathedral, Old Post Office to get good shots for our memory of the big, modern city of Vietnam. And then go to Ben Thanh market / Saigon Square- here we can experience our Vietnamese Southern daily life.

Our car and guide will take you back to Phu My Port.
