You'll journey for two hours in a northwesterly direction along a busy highway thronged with people, trucks, bicycles and heavily-laden buses.

Your one-hour stay at Cu Chi will begin with a video explaining the history of the tunnels.  (Guests should be aware that some of the propaganda items may cause offense as the film was produced in 1967, during the war!).

Only the most rudimentary tools were used to dig this subterranean network through rock-like soil to a depth of 12 feet.  Although thousands of tons of earth were scattered from this massive burrowing operation, the entrance to the tunnels could not be found.  This underground village was then used as a base to launch strategic attacks, following which the Viet Cong seemingly disappeared.

A guide awaits to lead our more hardy adventurers underground through a lighted tunnel which has been enlarged for the comfort of visitors.  Remaining guests may view some of the tunnel rooms which have now been ventilated and opened for easier viewing of such facilities as an underground meeting room, office, dining room and hospital.

After this fascinating experience, you'll return along the same route to Ho Chi Minh city and the ship.

Approximately 6 hours.
