Ben Dinh Tunnels, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - Pick up at 7am from your hotel in Saigon
- Kick start our exciting day with a pleasant 60-km drive through some nice country areas toward the northwest of Saigon. You are going to visit a massive underground network located near by the area once called "Iron Triangle" and was the termination of the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
- The tunnels were designed and used by Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous guerrilla fighters. The role of the tunnel systems was so important to the Viet Cong in resisting American operations and protracting the war, eventually persuading the weary Americans into withdrawal.
- Watch a short war documentary film, see other relevant displays, and get through a short stage of the tunnels (optional) 180 minutes
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - After spending around 2 hours at the tunnels, we will head off for Saigon (65 km or 1.5 hours) then a short drive to Cho Lon (china town) where we’ll introduce you to the enormous variety of exotic local produce at the sprawling Binh Tay Market and pay a short visit to Thien Hau Pagoda.
- The morning will end at a Vietnam’s possibly best-ever Pho (rice-noodle soup with beef or chicken) restaurant, Pho Hung.
- After lunch, drive back to district 1 where we will visit the sobering War Remnants Museum, former Presidential Palace or Unification Hall, Notre Dame Cathedral, and then Central Post Office.
- Drop-off: 5:30pm – at your hotel in Saigon where our service ends 240 minutes

We did Cu Chi tunnel tour with Kim Travel and was really good. You must visit if you are in Saigon. Also please visit War Museum after visiting Cu Chi Tunnels

Enjoyed a full day traveling around Ho Chi Minh city and surrounding areas with a very small, friendly group and our guide, Mr. An. He fought in the Cu Chi tunnels for 11 years when he was a child, and had some amazing insider knowledge of the area and the tunnels. We spent all morning at the tunnels., arriving before the larger tour groups and bypassing the introductory film so we could get up close views and experiences of all the sights. We watched the video before we left for the day, and then stopped for pho at a very nice and clean restaurant before driving through China Town for a while. Next we stopped at the War Remnants Museum, where we had plenty of time to look around at all the exhibits. After the museum, we went to Reunification Palace and were once again given some very detailed and interesting information as we explored the building. And finally, we stopped at the Saigon Norte-Dame Cathedral for a few photos. It was great experience, and I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone with a day to spare in Saigon. Well worth the cost and the time!

Quang was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable and speaks English well. The Cu Chi tunnels and displays were fascinating. But you need to be prepared for learning the horrors of the war. The lunch was generous and delicious. The tour in the city was equally interesting. We enjoyed the day
