Cu Chi Tunnels & Ho Chi Minh City Private Tour 1 Day

Cu Chi Tunnels & Ho Chi Minh City Private Tour 1 Day is one of best-selling Ho Chi Minh City Tours; you will travel like a VIP to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels historical site (also pronounced as Chu Chi Tunnels by some foreigners). Because this is a popular attraction with Vietnamese school children and holiday-makers, we set out early to avoid large crowds, ensuring that our boats arrive before everyone else.

You will have an opportunity to uncover the secrets of the Cu Chi Tunnels, a vast network of underground passageways built and used by the Viet Cong to evade detection as they moved troops and supplies throughout Ho Chi Minh City’s northern districts. During the trip to Cu Chi Tunnels tour, our English speaking tour guide will introduce you about underground tunnels network constructed by Vietnamese fighters during the struggle for independence.

In the middle way, you will have a chance to visit Lacquer ware factory which has been running by local government to produce famous handmade art works, which help those handicaps who were victims from Vietnam War to have basic incomes for survival. This one can be explored in Ho Chi Minh if you visit other Ho Chi Minh City Tours.
