We're going underground - deep into the Cu Chi Tunnels! These hand-dug tunnels changed the course of the Vietnam War. The well-camouflaged entrance holes lead into a network of incredibly narrow tunnels that stretch for over 200 kilometers connecting command posts, hospitals and shelters. We'll learn about the life of the Vietcong and venture into some of the tunnels.
FULL DAY
Ever-vibrant, ever-changing - this is the buzzing city of Saigon, where sleek skyscrapers loom over incense-infused temples and motorcycles rule the roads.

Reminders of a recent past can be seen in the Reunification Palace. We'll head out to Cholon, the historic Chinatown district. Make sure you save some energy by browsing the stalls in the bustling Ben Thanh Market.
