Experience Vietnamese history firsthand with a visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels, an extensive network of underground tunnels that served as a secret city for Vietnamese fighters during the war. This complex includes hospitals, living areas, food and weapons caches, and more. Unlike classic tours, this half-day speedboat tour allows you to arrive early, avoiding the crowds of domestic tourists and holiday-makers. Additionally, you'll get a glimpse of daily life along the banks of the Saigon River, transitioning from city sprawl to the lush jungles of the Mekong Delta. Join us for this unique excursion and make it a highlight of your Vietnam travel.

Highlights

  • Join a half-day tour to Cu Chi Tunnels by speedboat
  • Navigate through various underground bunkers
  • Observe traditional Mekong river life and capture stunning photos of the rural scenery
