Cu Chi tunnels - an underground city
Cu Chi lies on the North West of Saigon city. During the Vietnam War period , Cu Chi was well known for its tunnels.
In 1966-1967, the South Vietnamese Army, the U. S Army launched many military operations by sweeping through the Cu Chi area and bombing many villages.
In this tour, we will learn how the Vietcong built the tunnels complex , how he lived during the wartime and how he fought the enemies.

Shore excursion: Phu My port to Saigon city
Saigon, a dynamic city marked by many historical upheavals. From the 1954 to 1975, Saigon was the capital of South Vietnam. Since July, 1976, Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh city. I have completed many different ships such as Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Cunard Line, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Lines and Royal Caribbean... that dock at Phu My port. I also pick up at Hiep Phuoc port as well if your ship docks here.
