What To Expect

Cu Chi Tunnels
Option1: Morning Speedboat tour

7:00am: Your guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel and bring you by car with air-conditioner to your boat at Ho Chi Minh City’s central pier at District 1.

7:20am: Depart Saigon by boat. Within 15 minutes, the banks of the river change from city sprawl to lush jungle. A light breakfast of sandwiches or pastries, fresh tropical fruits and Vietnamese iced coffee (Ca phe sua da) is served, as your guide explains rural traditions and aspects of riverbank life.

8:50am: Arrive at the Cu Chi Tunnels site, before the majority of larger bus tours arrive. Watch a brief introductory ‘propaganda’ video to the Cu Chi area.

9:00am: Explore the Cu Chi site, which includes weapon and booby trap exhibitions, navigating authentic Viet Cong tunnel, visiting different underground bunkers (kitchens, meeting rooms, ammunitions etc.), a firing range and much more. Try the local cassava root that sustained Viet Cong fighters for years.

11:00am: Enjoy a delicious traditional Vietnamese lunch by the river, consisting of authentic fried spring rolls, chicken and beef dishes and soup.

11:30am: Depart Cu Chi and return to Ho Chi Minh City.

01:00pm: Arrive back at Saigon’s central pier. Staff will take you back to your hotel by car.
