Itinerary
08.00 - 10.00: Cu Chi tunnel is one of the most popular historical sites that you could do not miss it when in HCMC. Our Saigon Jeep Adventure team picks you up and heads directly to the site for 1.5 hours on the road.
10.00 - 12.00: Visiting this site, you can make your mind full knowledge to answer many questions such as: What were VC soldiers? How 250km of Cu Chi tunnel were created and which was important for this system during the war period? How did Vietnamese people in the very hard conditions of life and weak weapons could survive and win against Americans? Which tactics were used by two opposite militaries to fight? Also, the most interesting activity is that you have a chance to navigate in authentic tunnels like real VC soldiers.
12.00 - 13.00: Local tea and cassava - sustained VC fighters for years in the past – is for your appetite. Then, lunch at a local restaurant is included.
13.00 - 14.00: Experience yourself making the rice paper – one of the traditional ingredients in Vietnamese cuisine (optional and depends on the working time of local people).
