Exploring Southern Vietnam

Upon arrival, our driver without a tour guide will pick you up and take you to your hotel in Saigon. The rest of the day is free at your leisure.

Accommodation: Hotel in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City

Meals included: None

After breakfast, around 8 A.M, our driver and the tour guide will pick you up at your hotel and take you to Cu Chi. (Our Cu Chi Tunnels tour will last for 5 hours: 1,5 hours driving to the tunnel, 2 hours of visiting, and 1,5 driving back to the city.)

Before exploring the tunnels, you will watch an introductory video about how the tunnels were made and how Vietnamese people survived the harsh conditions of wartime.

When arriving at Cu Chi Tunnels, you will experience lots of interesting activities, including:

• Experience the thrill of crawling down the tunnels
• Visiting underground bunkers
• See the collection of guns and traps, bomb crater
• See Hoang Cam’s smokeless kitchen and understand how the VC soldier hides their cooking smoke
• Firing range (Bullets fee is not included.)
• Try tapioca (the most common food the VC ate throughout the war)

In the afternoon, after you are done exploring, the driver will take you to HCM City and take you on the city tour.

Start with a visit to the city’s most iconic building: Reunification Hall. Formerly called the Presidential Palace, images of the building were seen around the world on 30 April 1975 when tanks stormed the gates as Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese. Hear the echoes of time while walking through this historic downtown site.

Then take a stroll to Ho Chi Minh City’s colonial quarter, walking past scenes of everyday life on the way. Admire the beautiful architecture of the Opera House, City Hall, and the old Saigon Post Office, and hear about the glory days of French Indochina and how that era continues to influence aspects of modern Vietnamese culture.
