Morning, we will drive overland to Cu Chi Tunnels, an incredible underground network
constructed by Vietnamese guerrillas to protect the region against the American attacks
during the Vietnam War. The tunnels were used by Viet Cong soldiers as hiding
spots during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes, hospitals,
food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous North Vietnamese fighters.
The tunnel systems were of great importance to the Viet Cong in their resistance to
American forces, and helped to counter the growing American military effort. We can
even crawl a part inside the tunnel, visit their infirmary, kitchen.... to discover how
people had survived hereby. Back to Ho Chi Minh city in the afternoon and start to visit

Vietnam's victory, peace, and territorial integrity. This place has a glamorous design,
hundreds of rooms equipped with luxurious furnishings and decorations, and an
enormous and gorgeous exterior space; next is War Remnants Museum: Formerly

this is one of the best examples of classical French colonial architecture. End of the tour
