Schedule
Group size: 12 people
Pick up: 07:30 – 08:00 (the time of pick up depends on customer’s hotel/accommodation’s exact position).
Route: HCM City – Cu Chi
Take the morning trip to visit Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace, built on the site of the former Norodom Palace. The Independence Palace is a widely known landmark of Ho Chi Minh City and was designed by architect Ngo Viet Thu.
Continue seeing the beautiful structures from the French Colonial times such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Central Post Office. Followed by the remarkable War Remnants Museum, which has a vast display of both the Indochina wars.
Have lunch at a local restaurant.
Depart for Cu Chi Tunnels; the trip will take approximately one and a half hours by bus. Upon arrival, before exploring the tunnels, enjoy a short introduction and an introductory video about how the tunnels were constructed and how people survived in the harsh conditions of wartime.
Then, spend your time exploring the remaining areas and tunnel systems, which include specially constructed living areas with kitchens and bedrooms side by side with martial facilities like storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers. These systems supported the basic needs of those living inside. There are also many hidden trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels for security purposes during the war.
Afterward, special tea and cassava (guerrilla’s food during the war) will be served.
Break time for relaxation or for those who want to try shooting real guns.
Return to Saigon. End trip.
Return: 19:30
