Next, we’ll visit the Reunification Palace, the former residence of the President of South Vietnam and a symbol of the Southern Administration’s reign until the end of April 1975.
Our tour continues with stops at the Notre Dame Cathedral and Central Post Office, both iconic landmarks of Ho Chi Minh City. If time permits, we’ll also visit a local market. The tour concludes with a transfer back to your hotel for an overnight stay in Ho Chi Minh.
Day 2 | Ho Chi Minh – Cu Chi Tunnel (B, L)
Meet our tour guide at 08:00 and set off for Cu Chi. As you travel, watch the scenery shift from urban landscapes to rice paddies, where villagers dry noodles by the roadside and other typical scenes of southern Vietnam unfold.
Upon arrival at the Cu Chi Tunnels, you’ll explore an astonishing underground tunnel network built by Vietnamese resistance fighters (Viet Cong) during both the French and American wars. Your visit begins with the Ben Dinh or Ben Duoc sections of the tunnels.
Here, you can imagine life as a guerrilla fighter, with Russian Carbine rifles and AK-47s on display. Spend time exploring the remaining tunnel system, which includes living quarters with kitchens and bedrooms, alongside essential facilities such as weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers that supported the inhabitants’ basic needs. You’ll also discover hidden trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels, designed for security during the war.
Afterward, you’ll have the chance to taste some special tea and cassava, the staple food of the guerrillas during the war. In the afternoon, we’ll journey back to Ho Chi Minh City, enjoy lunch and be free for the rest of the day. Overnight in Ho Chi Minh
