In the morning, drive to the Cu Chi Tunnel Complex to explore an incredible feat of perseverance and war time engineering born of necessity, and gain important insight into the prolonged struggle against invading armies. The residents of Cu Chi took the war underground into a highly developed network of tunnels that at its height stretched as far as Cambodia and included meeting rooms, kitchens and triage areas. Imperceptible from the ground, opposing armies could roll their tanks over the bunkers without causing damage to the tunnels below. Living conditions were harsh – in addition to fighting the war, residents battled food and oxygen scarcity, venomous insects, and cramped living quarters. Meeting with a VC veteran who lived and fought during the Vietnam War in this area to get to know more about the tunnel and their lives during the war.

In the afternoon, discover the lasting legacy of the Vietnam War during a guided tour of Ho Chi Minh City’s most significant wartime sites.

Continue to the Reunification Palace, the former presidential residence of South Vietnam and the site where the war officially came to an end on April 30, 1975, when North Vietnamese tanks entered the palace gates during the Fall of Saigon.

Next, explore a secret underground bunker hidden inside a century-old building. Here, you’ll learn about its construction and the crucial role it played during the Vietnam War era, offering valuable historical context.

Then visit Do Phu coffee, once a secret Viet Cong weapons bunker and meeting point hidden beneath an ordinary coffee shop during the Vietnam War. Enjoy a cup of coffee while your guide tells you fascinating stories about how the local guerrillas operated in the heart of Saigon.

Apart from the runway, however, there is not much to see here in terms of remaining buildings.

Then we will head back south on Thunder Road and back to Ho Chi Minh city.
