A closer look at VietnamThe experience
Two perspectives. One memorable day.
This itinerary brings city sightseeing and Cu Chi together. In the morning, visit landmarks of Ho Chi Minh City. After lunch, travel to the tunnels to explore a very different setting.
It is a good starting point if you want both experiences in one organised day. If you only want to visit the tunnels or prefer a shorter outing, check with the team before choosing this full-day itinerary.
The day ahead
From city streets to hidden passages.
- Morning
Meet the city
After District 1 pickup, visit Independence Palace, see Notre Dame Cathedral from outside and stop at the Central Post Office. Continue to the War Remnants Museum for wartime exhibits.
- Lunch
Pause over a local meal
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before the afternoon journey to Cu Chi. Let the team know about dietary needs before booking.
- Afternoon
Discover Cu Chi
Watch an introductory film and explore the tunnel site, including underground sections and wartime structures. See how kitchens, bunkers and hidden entrances formed part of the network, then sample cassava and tea.
- Later
Return to Ho Chi Minh City
Head back to the city in the late afternoon. Keep your evening plans flexible, as road conditions can affect the return time.

A little clarity
Before you go
Does this tour include Ho Chi Minh City sightseeing?
Yes. This is a combined full-day tour: city landmarks in the morning, followed by Cu Chi Tunnels in the afternoon. It is not a tunnels-only half-day excursion.
Where does the tour pick up?
The published itinerary lists hotel pickup in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, between 07:30 and 08:00. Confirm your hotel and exact pickup arrangements with the team before departure.
Is lunch included?
The published tour includes lunch at a local restaurant, an English-speaking guide, air-conditioned return transport, entrance fees and one bottle of mineral water. Check the current inclusions on the tour page before booking.
What if I am uncomfortable in enclosed spaces?
Tell the team before booking if you are concerned about narrow spaces or have mobility needs. Ask which parts of the visit are suitable and what arrangements are possible; do not assume every underground section will be suitable for you.
Is the optional shooting experience included?
No. The optional shooting range experience is at your own expense. Travel insurance, extra food and drinks, tips and personal expenses are also excluded from the published tour.
Where can I find the cancellation policy?
Read the cancellation policy on the tour detail page before booking. Check the terms for your selected departure and contact the team if you need clarification before paying.
