Cu Chi Tunnels — Private Half-Day with Lunch

~6 hours Your group only Hotel pickup, HCMC

Descend into the Cu Chi tunnel network, crawl the same hand-dug passages that concealed an entire wartime civilization, then surface into the jungle clearing with a guide who carries stories no guidebook holds. Entirely private — your pace, your questions, your morning or afternoon. Lunch follows at a premium casual restaurant back in Ho Chi Minh City.
