The Cu Chi district played a significant role during the Vietnam War, known for its extensive tunnel network spanning over 220 kilometers. This area, now rural and peaceful, contrasts sharply with its wartime past, when it was heavily bombed and mined. Visitors will travel through rice paddies and river scenes with ducks and water buffalos, while observing remnants of the war that remain visible. This half-day bus tour lasts about 6 to 7 hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off within District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City. The tour starts with a visit to a lacquer workshop en route to the Cu Chi Tunnels site. At the tunnels, participants watch a documentary explaining the site’s history, explore a command center, and see various parts of the tunnel complex including fighting bunkers and booby traps. There is also a chance to try an optional shooting activity. The visit includes local refreshments of steamed tapioca and hot tea, reflecting the food once eaten by guerrillas in the area. Bottled water and wet tissues are provided during the tour. The group returns to Ho Chi Minh City by mid-afternoon, concluding the tour around 2:30 PM.
