✨ DETAILED ITINERARY
⏰ Start: 08:30 | Return: ~14:00

(Times may shift slightly due to traffic and site flow.)

Hotel pickup (Saigon / HCMC) – Your guide and driver meet you in the lobby. As the skyline fades to rice fields and village lanes, your guide sets the scene: why this area mattered, and how people adapted.

Guided walk at the Cu Chi site – Explore pathways shaded by forest. Learn how residents designed a multi-level tunnel network for shelter, movement, and survival. See camouflaged entrances, air vents, kitchens that vented smoke, and defensive traps crafted from simple materials.

Optional tunnel crawl – Try a short, optional crawl in a widened section (supervised and well lit). It’s the best way to understand scale and conditions. Skip or adapt if you’re claustrophobic—your guide will offer alternatives.

Human stories & reflection – Throughout, your guide shares lived accounts and community perspectives—how conflict reshaped families and the countryside, and how remembrance and everyday life coexist today.

Return to Saigon – Depart Cu Chi and arrive back at your hotel around 14:00, depending on traffic.
