Itinerary

  • Asiana Link Travel (Pass By)

    We pick up guests at several hotels; your hotel might be the first, so please be ready by 08:00a.m./01:00p.m. Amidst the vibrant bustle of Sài Gòn’s streets, we set off towards the historic Củ Chi tunnels, leaving behind the urban buzz for a journey through Việt Nam’s rich history and culture. We’ll be taking a brief pit stop at a local lacquerware factory to freshen up and use the restroom.

  • Ben Dinh Tunnels

    Upon arrival at the remarkable Củ Chi Tunnels, get ready to delve into a captivating experience that will transport you back in time. Spend approximately 1.5 to 2 hours exploring this historical site, where you’ll have the opportunity to engage in various activities and learn more about the Việt Nam War from a Vietnamese perspective. *Watch a brief propaganda video about the Việt Nam War to gain a deeper understanding of the Vietnamese perspective.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Cu Chi Tunnels

    * We’ll explore various underground bunkers, including a kitchen, meeting room, and ammunition storage, and also visit weapon and booby trap exhibitions during your visit. * For the adventurous, choose to navigate the authentic VC tunnels, with options of 20m, 60m, or 100m distances, offering a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by soldiers. * Take a moment to immerse yourself in history by visiting the shooting range, where you can opt to try firing AK47s and M16s. Please note that the cost of bullets is not included in the tour. *Indulge in a taste of local tea and tapioca, the sustenance that kept VC fighters going during the war. It’s a chance to appreciate the significance of these humble provisions and their role in the daily lives of those in conflict. * After immersing ourselves in the rich history of Củ Chi Tunnels, we leave the site behind and journey back to Hồ Chí Minh City.

A great, fun and informative trip.

Published on Feb, 2025

It was a great trip. Loi was very knowledgeable and made our trip enjoyable. We got a lot of information, not just about the tunnels, but also about the history of Vietnam. Thank you Loi and thank you for your little quizzes.

Loved it!

Published on Feb, 2025

Loi is a very enthousiastic tour guide! Proud of his culture and explaining with the help of pictures on IPad, very helpful. Asked questions too and is interested in other cultures as well. Loved the your and small personnel group.

Memorable

Published on Jan, 2025

Our half-day tour was hosted by James. Luckily, the tour plan includes a hotel pick-up since the Cu Chi tunnels are over an hour away from Ho Chi Mihn City. We were clearly communicated with via WhatsApp. During the long drive, James (our guide) filled the van with informative facts and entertaining questions. He had our attention the entire time, making the drive fly by. In consideration of the guests, the van makes a restroom and snack stop. Ladies (!!) make sure you bring toilet paper or grab some hand towels in the sink area before entering a toilet stall ~ there is NO TOILET PAPER. As for the tour? Be prepared if you are claustrophobic ~ you will be going through the tunnels. They're narrow. Also, they make a pit stop to the gun range where you can shoot a semi-automatic or machine gun. The fee for bullets is quite pricey. Overall, James was very transparent about the past and present lives of Vietnam. We learned a lot.

Highly recommend tour

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour was great. Vo (James) was an excellent and insightful tour guide who was very nice and clear to understand. James was able to provide a very In depth understanding of the Cu Chi tunnels as well as the history of the Vietnam war. Mr Hao was a great driver and made the drive very comfortable and safe.

Awesome tour, friendly tour guide, good vibes, educational

Published on Jan, 2025

Very awesome experience! We could not have asked for a better tour guide! James was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well with great enthusiasm. The traditional food they served was a great end to the tour as well! Would highly recommend this tour!
