Ho Chi Minh City & Cu Chi Tunnels (full day)
Trip Code: SCC
Ho Chi Minh City is the commercial hub of Vietnam and this morning your guide will give you insights and history about the various interesting places that this bustling city has to offer. Stroll along Dong Khoi street to visit Notre Dame Cathedral and the French designed post office. Visit the historically significant Reunification Palace and the sobering War Remnants Museum.

After lunch travel 60km west of Ho Chi Minh City and visit the Cu Chi Tunnels. This maze of underground tunnels was begun in 1949 by local Vietnamese guerrillas and the area became known as the Iron Triangle and a base of resistance by Vietcong (VC) forces against American and South Vietnamese troops. Today parts of the tunnel system have been preserved and widened to allow tourists to see how the VC lived and fought during the war. Here you will have a chance to go inside the tunnels, see meeting rooms and storage bunkers, field hospitals, and kitchen facilities.
