The tour begins with a drive from the city center to Cu Chi, where you will explore the legendary underground tunnels. This guided walking tour provides a compelling insight into the brutal nature of guerrilla warfare during the two Indochina wars. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to enter sections of the tunnels, experiencing the enveloping darkness and gaining a firsthand understanding of the term “claustrophobia.” After exploring the tunnels, you will return to the city.

Your next stop is a short walk through a local park to reach Cathedral Square, where you will encounter two remarkable examples of French colonial architecture from the late 19th century: the Notre Dame Basilica and the Central Post Office. Today, these historic buildings serve as popular backdrops for wedding photography. The tour continues with a visit to a lacquerware center, where you can observe the intricate process of creating lacquer art.
