Cu Chi Tunnels, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam In the morning, your guide and drive will be waiting for you in the hotel lobby to start a comfortable ride in a north-western direction towards Cu Chi. Just 70 kilometres outside Ho Chi Minh City the Cu Chi tunnels are one of the best-preserved examples of Vietnamese warfare ingenuity. Built by resistance fighters to the French occupation, and later further expanded by the Viet Cong as war raged across Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s. A vast underground network of tunnels, you will marvel at their ingenuity and resilience with various secret trapdoors, underground kitchens, living areas and meeting rooms. For those preferring to remain above ground, there is ample opportunity to view excavated areas from above. A local lunch is included before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City. 60 minutes
135 Đ. Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa, Phường Bến Thành, Quận 1, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam In the afternoon, we make our way back to Ho Chi Minh City and visit the former Presidential Palace. Now called Reunification Palace, it was here where the war came to an end in 1975. Visits to this palace museum include seeing to the underground communications bunkers, headquarters for the Saigon Government during the American War. 75 minutes
War Remnants Museum, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam At the end of the day, you will visit the War Remnants Museum with its display of grim realities of the war. Formerly known as the War Crimes Museum, the War Remnants Museum is by far the most well-known museum in Saigon, exhaustively documenting the horrors of the long Vietnam- American war. Newly housed in a modern building, exhibits include explicit photographs of civilian casualties and a collection of tanks, planes and weapons in the yard outside.
Within a day's drive, we will cover several attractions well-worth the trip and that is a constant reminder about the Vietnam past. By the end of the day, we will transfer you back to your hotel. 90 minutes

This has been the most fun and exciting trip I have ever made. The agency planned out a perfect 3 days trip for us in Ho chi minh city and its surroundings.
We are glad to be given a super friendly, good English speaking and lovely guide - Mr Thang Phong. He made our tours superb and took very good care of our whole team of 11 members! This must not have been easy to accommodate all our needs
Big shout out to Phong and a mesmerizing 3 days tour of Vietnam. Excellent job!

The tour was very informative and well organised. Plenty of time to take in what life must have been like during the war and living in and around the tunnels.
Lunch a set menu - which we had not appreciated, but was pointed out by our guide - very filling and tasty!
The Remnants War Museum was interesting as was the Reunification Palace - both worth a visit.
The Guide Martin was extremely knowledgeable and kept the pace just right.
