- CU CHI TUNNELS HO CHI MINH CITY TOUR 1 day At its height the tunnel system stretched over 250km. from Saigon to the Cambodian border and was three levels deep. The network included innumerable trap doors, specially constructed living areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers and kitchens. Today the remaining tunnels have become a major tourist attraction giving the visitor a unique experience and a feel of what underground life in the American war must have been like. The tunnels have been widened for our benefit (otherwise we would not be able to enter them!) For those interested there's even the opportunity to fire off rounds from an AK47 or MK16 at the nearby rifle range. AM: Leaving Saigon we drive through pleasant countryside before arriving at Cu Chi. Before entering the tunnels we watch a short introductory video showing how the tunnels were constructed. We then spend the next hour exploring the maze of tunnels. Also on display are various mantraps and the remains of an American tank as well as numerous bomb craters made by 500 pound bombs dropped by B52 bombers. We then drive back to Ho Chi Minh City arriving at approximately 1pm. We are transfer to Pho 24 for some traditional Vietnamese noodle soup. PM: We start by looking at the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Post Office. Notre Dame Cathedral and Old Post Office: Built between 1877 and 1883 this is one of the best examples of classical French colonial architecture. Remarkably every stone used in its creation was shipped from France to Vietnam. Her two 40m towers, topped with iron spires dominate the citys skyline. The Old Post Office is another example of French colonial architecture and is also the countrys largest post office. Then, we move on to see the Reunification Palace. The Reunification Palace: This is one of the most important buildings in the city. Here on April 30th 1975 the American War officially ended when tank number 843 of the North Vietnamese Army crashed through the gates of what was, at the time the residence of the President of the Republic of Vietnam. War Remnants Museum: Formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes, this is a poignant display of the futility of war. Some of the black and white photography in the Requiem exhibit is particularly touching, dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who perished during the conflict. The courtyard outside contains the spoils of war, namely rusting jets, tanks and cannons captured from the American military machine. After that we drive to Ben thanh market: Ben Thanh Market: This bustling market is very popular with tourists, primarily due to its central location. It has a wide selection of goods ranging from fake Nike shoes to beautiful silk Ao Dais. The tour finishes at approximately 6pm when you will be transferred back to your hotel. (you have the option of staying on at Ben Thanh market and make your own way back to hotel) PRICE PER PERSON IN US DOLLARS No of pax 1 2 3 4 > 5 6 7 > 8 Price 85 49 43 35 31 28 26 24 TRIP INFORMATION Depart from: Return to: Activities: Highlights: Ho Chi Minh Ho Chi Minh Walking, historical sightseeing Cu Chi tunnels, Reunification palace, War Museum, Ben Thanh market What to take We suggest a small, lightweight daypack for cameras, spare film, drinking water and comfortable walking shoes.
