Detailed Itinerary
Moring Departure | Approximately 7:30 AM – 2:30 PM
Ho Chi Minh City → Ben Duoc Cu Chi Tunnels
Your guide and air-conditioned vehicle will pick you up from your selected hotel in central District 1 and depart for the Cu Chi countryside.
As you leave Ho Chi Minh City behind, the urban landscape gradually gives way to green countryside, rice fields, waterways and rural villages. It is difficult to imagine that this peaceful landscape was once heavily affected by the war.
Upon arrival at the Ben Duoc Cu Chi Tunnels, your English-speaking guide will introduce the history and strategic importance of the tunnel network.
Explore selected sections of the underground system and discover how the tunnels were used for living, cooking, storing supplies and military operations. You will also see hidden entrances, wartime traps and underground structures.
For those who are comfortable with it, there is an opportunity to enter parts of the tunnels and experience their narrow dimensions.
You can also learn about the smokeless cooking stoves used by Vietnamese soldiers and taste simple foods such as boiled cassava, which formed part of the wartime diet.
For guests interested in firearms history, an optional shooting experience with weapons such as the AK-47 may be available at the designated shooting range for an additional fee.
After the visit, return to Ho Chi Minh City and arrive at approximately 2:30 PM, with drop-off at your hotel or designated location in central District 1.
Afternoon Departure | Approximately 12:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Ho Chi Minh City → Ben Duoc Cu Chi Tunnels
For travelers who prefer a later start, the same experience can be arranged with an afternoon departure around 12:00 PM.
Travel from Ho Chi Minh City to Ben Duoc Cu Chi Tunnels, explore the historic underground system with your English-speaking guide, discover the wartime kitchens, hidden entrances and tunnel sections, and learn about the lives of the people who lived and worked underground.
After the visit, return to Ho Chi Minh City in the early evening, arriving at approximately 7:00 PM.
Optional: Shooting range experience, subject to local regulations, availability and additional fee.
Suggested Experience: Take time to walk through the quieter areas of Ben Duoc and ask your guide about everyday life inside the tunnels during the war.
