Cu Chi Tunnels
Begin your day with a seamless hotel pickup from your accommodation in central District 1. Journey beyond the city to the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels, an extraordinary underground labyrinth once used by Vietnamese soldiers during the war. Step back in time as you explore the field hospital, weapon workshop, and command post—all ingeniously constructed beneath the earth’s surface. Venture through the tunnels yourself, watch a fascinating documentary, and discover intricate dioramas that vividly recreate the stories of resilience and ingenuity. For the adventurous, an optional live shooting experience is available at the on-site range *(extra charge applies).

From this breathtaking vantage point, take in panoramic views of the lush countryside, where endless rice fields stretch gracefully toward the Cambodian border.
