City Tour & Cu Chi Tunnels 1 day

Once hailed as the "Diamond of the Far East," Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) still dazzles visitors with its vibrant blend of old-world charm and modern dynamism. As Vietnam’s largest and most populous city, it pulses with energy—from traditional street vendors and bustling markets to sleek shopping malls and trendy cafes. This full-day tour offers a deep dive into the city's rich cultural tapestry and turbulent history. You'll visit significant landmarks such as the Reunification Palace, a symbol of the end of the Vietnam War; the sobering War Remnants Museum; the elegant Notre Dame Cathedral and Central Post Office, both remnants of French colonial rule; and the mystical Jade Emperor Pagoda, a haven of spiritual reflection.

After a flavorful Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant, the tour continues with a journey to the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels. This vast underground network played a crucial role during the Vietnam War, serving as a base of operations for the Viet Cong. Begin your visit with a short documentary, then descend into the tunnels to explore narrow passageways, trapdoors, field hospitals, and hidden kitchens that reveal the remarkable ingenuity and resilience of wartime life. This immersive experience offers a powerful look into both the past and present of a city that continues to evolve while honoring its complex history.
