This is another variation of our popular Cu Chi tour, combining the legendary historical site with visiting surrounding cultural attractions.
This full-day Cu Chi Tunnels tour is perfect for those interested in Vietnam’s wartime past, but also want to experience traditional life of Vietnam countryside, which few tourists get to see.
Over the course of an hour, our speedboat will whisk you from central Saigon to Cu Chi, past tranquil countryside pastures that offer a glimpse into life along the river.
You will then explore the historic Cu Chi Tunnels site, before enjoying a traditional Vietnamese lunch prepared by our chef. Then, depending on your choice, either a minivan or Jeep will pick you up and take you on a journey through the scenic Vietnam countryside.
You will visit an authentic cricket farm, and organic herb farm and a local country house, where traditional rice paper is made by hand as it has unchanged for centuries.
