FULL ITINERARY
Cu Chi Tunnels speedboat tour will certainly highlight your shore excursions in Ho Chi Minh city with unforgettable memories in this unique historical monument. In the wars, Cu Chi Tunnels used to be a strong resistance base and defense system inside the ground of Vietnamese soldiers, majorly contributing to the success of the nation’s courageous struggles against the enemies. The sophisticated tunnel system includes a diversity of rooms that serve the daily activity of the soldiers such as bedroom, working room, kitchen, warehouse, hospital, etc. all of which are ventilated to the bushes in the forest. Nowadays, Cu Chi Tunnels are not only a national monument but also a tourist attraction that appeals millions of visitors each year. Let’s come and discover the glorious man-made construction!
Be picked up by our driver and tour guide at the port entrance gate, we will transfer to Tan Cang Pier by a comfortable air-conditioner minivan where we can get on the luxurious speedboat to Cu Chi Tunnels and enjoy the light breakfast with salted egg yolk chiffon, bottled water, and seasonal fruits.
After that, it is such an adventurous experience for us to walk in the jungle and surprisingly discover the dangerous traps to kill the enemies, the secret entrances for the soldiers to enter the underground resistance base, the bunkers and underground hideouts to get rid of the enemies in case of emergency. Next, we will have a chance to shoot the real guns (without bullets) at Cu Chi rifle range with the support of Vietnamese soldiers to guarantee your safeness during the experience. Continue this Phu My shore excursion, we will visit the places where the local people make rice-paper – the skin of spring roll (one of the most famous traditional foods in Vietnam) and learn about the product line of rice-wine.
The most expected part of our tour is going inside Cu Chi Tunnels, admiring the incredible power of the Vietnamese in digging the complicated tunnel system which is considered as the underground military base. You can crawl or creep into through the secret entrances like a real soldier. That will definitely be one of the most special and fantastic memories of your time in Vietnam. After an adventurous time, we will enjoy the peaceful atmosphere with some cups of fragrant tea and cookies. Taking a short rest, then we will move to the restaurant, have lunch and back to your hotel. The boat tour ends. Thanks for traveling with Vietnam Shore Excursions!

We arrived on Royal Caribbean into Phu My port and our guide was waiting there with a welcome sign. We jumped in the car with our guide and driver and we were off to the Cu chi tunnels. Our guide Mr.Hung was great.! Not only did he explain all the history along the way he was also very cheerful and funny.
Anytime I passed something and wanted a pic they stopped. We had a great lunch of pho and then off to HCMC to see the sights.Mr Hung was able to get me on top of the roof at 22 Gia long st which was for me unreal and a big bonus. We made it back to the ship with time to spare.
We also used this company in Danang / hue which also went excellent.We even had a beautiful lunch in a very nice Vietnamese restaurant that was included.I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

Outstanding staff and amazing locations
Starting 8 months before our trip, we had a wonderful experience with this company. Sales representative Sammy Nguyen was not just highly competent but also genuinely friendly, patient (we had a lot of questions!), and caring. We were nervous about leaving the ship but she reassured us and all was fine. And, the cost was 1/3 of what we’d have paid the cruise line for the same excursion–except we had a private driver and guide.

From Phu My we chose Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City. I can’t say enough about Vietnam Shore Ex. I dealt with Ms Tania. She was very helpful during the booking/planning process. Both tours were long days we were very happy that we were traveling with a small group. Would never hesitate to use this company again!
