This half-day bus tour lasts about 6 to 7 hours and focuses on the Ben Duoc section of the Cu Chi Tunnels, known for being less crowded and offering a more authentic visit. The tour begins with pickup from accommodation in Districts 1, 3, and 4 of Ho Chi Minh City, which takes approximately 30 minutes. After the pickup, the group travels to the Cu Chi Tunnels area. At Ben Duoc tunnel complex, visitors explore the extensive underground network used during the Vietnam War. The tunnels extend over 250 kilometers and include living spaces, kitchens, meeting rooms, hospitals, and schools, all dug by hand with simple tools. Guests can enter sections of the narrow tunnels, see the wartime booby traps, and view an ex-US Army tank from the period. The guide explains how Viet Cong soldiers moved through the tunnels and avoided detection. Nearby, visitors can taste tapioca, a local Viet Cong food, beside the tunnels. The tour concludes with a return to the starting point in Ho Chi Minh City, dropping guests back at their hotels or, on request, near the airport. The vehicle includes air conditioning, and bottled water is provided during the trip.
