Description
Explore the Ben Duoc Cu Chi Tunnels with a guide and enjoy a Vietnamese lunch. Then, relax on a dinner cruise along the Saigon River and admire Ho Chi Minh City's illuminated skyline.
Begin your journey in the morning with a drive to the Ben Duoc section of the Cu Chi Tunnels, located in the quieter western part of the tunnel network. Away from the busiest areas of Cu Chi, Ben Duoc offers an opportunity to learn more about the tunnel system and the people who lived and worked underground during the war.
With your local guide, explore the tunnel area and learn how the underground network was constructed and how it supported daily life during wartime. Discover hidden entrances, underground rooms, kitchens, and other wartime facilities. You can also taste traditional cassava and tea, and, if you wish, experience crawling through a section of the tunnels.
After the visit, enjoy a Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant before returning to Ho Chi Minh City. In the afternoon, you'll have free time to relax before continuing to your evening experience.
As the sun sets, head to the port and board the Ben Thanh Princess Dinner Cruise. Enjoy dinner while cruising along the Saigon River and watching Ho Chi Minh City's skyline transform after dark. Relax with live entertainment on board while taking in views of the city's riverside landmarks.
From the historic tunnels of Ben Duoc to dinner on the Saigon River, this experience combines Vietnamese history, local culture, food, and modern Ho Chi Minh City in one day.
