This private day trip lasts about 7 to 8 hours and includes hotel pickup from Ho Chi Minh City in an air-conditioned car. The journey to Cu Chi District takes around 1.5 hours through countryside scenery. Upon arrival, visitors spend an hour at the Cu Chi Liberation Area Reconstruction Zone, which covers 50 hectares and presents the living conditions and wartime experiences of locals and soldiers from 1961 to 1972. Next, the tour focuses on the Ben Duoc tunnel complex, where visitors explore underground bunkers such as a kitchen, meeting room, and ammunition storage areas. Exhibitions of weapons and booby traps are on display. A propaganda video about the Vietnam War is shown to provide the Vietnamese perspective. Guests can choose to navigate authentic Viet Cong tunnels over distances of 20, 60, or 100 meters. The visit includes tasting local tea and tapioca, which supported fighters during the war. There is also an optional stop at a shooting range to try firing AK47s and M16s; bullet costs are not included. Lunch is served as a five-course meal at a local restaurant near the Ben Duoc Memorial Temple, the largest war memorial in Vietnam dedicated to those killed at Cu Chi. After lunch, the tour returns to Ho Chi Minh City, with drop-off at the original pickup point or another central city location upon request. The itinerary and timing may vary without prior notice, but the operator will attempt to maintain the planned schedule.
