This tour provides poignant insight into the war and the life of the Vietnamese people during this time.
The journey begins at the Cu Chi Tunnels which were once a stronghold of the Viet Cong. The cramped tunnels were central to the war’s strategic operations, including the famous 1968 Tet Offensive, and served not only as living quarters but also as supply routes and hospitals for thousands of guerrilla fighters. Today the tunnels are viewed as a testament to the Vietnamese people’s resilience.
Next, the tour stops for an authentic Vietnamese lunch before heading to the iconic Reunification Palace where a Northern Vietnamese tank famously crashed through the gates, becoming the symbol to mark the end of the conflict. The tour concludes at the poignant War Remnants Museum where visitors can learn more about the war and the lasting effects of it on Vietnam today.
