Arrive in Cu Chi tunnels and tour guide will give you an overview introduction of Cu Chi Tunnels and its legendary history. Enjoy the scenic drive northwest towards the Cambodian border. You will get to explore a section of the network of some 125 miles (200 kilometers) of subterranean passages and rooms. Upon arrival at the Cu Chi Tunnels, take a short documentary film about the Cu Chi tunnels tell you how about the tunnels histories and how fierce the war happened. Then the tour guide will help you to learn the pivotal part they played in the war such as trap doors, and climb inside to see where the Viet Cong built storage facilities, weapons factories, kitchens. Afterward travelers can try local special foods like rice tapioca and hot tea which was main food in Cu Chi during the war. Visitors can try to fire off an AK47 or MK16 or machine guns at the nearby shooting range (not included, participate at own expense and risk).
Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral
The Notre Dame Cathedral and the Saigon Old Post Office. Designed by Gustave Eiffel and built between 1877 and 1883, the Post Office truly reflects classical French colonial architecture style. We finish our day with some shopping time at the Ben Thanh Market, a very popular tourist spot mainly due to its rich history and prime location. It offers a wide selection of goods ranging from faux Nike shoes to beautiful silk Ao Dai. After that, we will return to the port in good time for cruising.

5.00We had the pleasure of being on a tour led by guide Liam & driver Ut. Liam's knowledge & enthusiasm for Vietnam was apparent when he gave a detailed history of Vietnam. The visit to the tunnels was thoughtful as well as fun and again background explanation was given by Liam. As a small tour group, we made faster progress and less hanging about than other larger groups. The visit to the Remnants museum included a delicious local baguette lunch! We were returned back to the cruise port in good time for our departure. Thanks again to Liam & Ut for a fantastic trip!
Great tour

5.00There wasn’t enough time to see the Tunnels, and we were refunded for that component. Memorable were the War Remnants Museum and the terrific lunch. The guide and driver were excellent.

4.00Very good tour guide. Her English was great! The tunnels were great to visit. After we thought we would have more time in Ho Chi Minh city but we stopped at a local art fair. Were given a tour and felt a lot of pressure to buy things. It was nice but with that stop and longer lunch we didn’t have any time in Ho Chi Minh. Basically a drive buy with a fast trip through the market. Glad we did it but wish the write up was more accurate on what to expect.
