Saigon City tour & Cu Chi Tunnels
Overview
: HCM City tour & Cu Chi Tunnels
Customizable itinerary
Morning (Lunch is included):
Your private guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel and take you to visit the City’s historical landmarks including the 1880s General Post Office and the late 19th century Notre Dame Cathedral located in a peaceful part of the city. Next, we will visit the Reunification Palace which was once headquarters for the Former Government during the “American War”, and the War Remnants Museum which displays relics from the American War. We’ll have lunch at a local noodle soup restaurant called Presidential Pho 2000, named due to a surprise visit by the former US president Bill Clinton during his visit that year.
Afternoon:
After lunch, we will travel out of the city to the Cu Chi Tunnels. This vast network of tunnels, stretching over 150 kilometers, was built by the Viet Cong in the battles for the south. The tunnels are a sobering insight into the dedication of the Viet Cong who lived almost entirely underground in the narrow and claustrophobic tunnels. Upon arrival, we’ll have a chance to watch a brief video that will introduce you to the Cu Chi tunnels, followed by a walk through the reserve. Nearby is a chilling demonstration of the traps and weapons used against the American GIs. The Cu Chi tunnels have been made wider and cleaner for western visitors, however, they can still be dark and claustrophobic inside so please keep in mind if you do not like enclosed spaces. Late this afternoon, we will return to our hotel where our tour ends.
N.B: Remember to take insect repellent today as mosquitoes are more common in the Cu Chi district. At the Cu Chi Tunnels, you will be given the opportunity to shoot a range of guns (example AK47, M16). If you decide to do this, please be aware that the level of noise is pretty high and although ear muffs are available, they may not provide the level of protection required.

Incredible Vietnam experience with Tony
Fantastic
Great company, great service
Amazing People and Great Service
We travelled for 7 weeks so the tour that we structured gave us a great mix of guided and free time. We were able to see the normal tourist sites, as well as spend some in-depth time in the villages and communities. This gave us a much greater insight into life in Vietnam and Cambodia. All I can say is that they are amazing and incredible people!
Our guides were great. Our drivers were safe and looked after us very well. I would not recommend anyone try driving on thier own if you are coming from a country where people obey the traffic laws. We learned over time that is is actully very organized chaos!
If you are looking for a great agency, we can assure you that Asia Pioneer cares about you and will look after you with every detail!
Thank you to Mr. Lam and the entire staff.
