THE COASTAL TOUR
The Coastal Tour is a very nice ride. It can be done either way: Nha Trang to HCMC or HCMC to Nha Trang
.
On this trip you get to see the coastal resorts of Vung Tau and Mui Ne, but we strongly recommend that you consider the Mountain tour first if you have the chance, its far more interesting with loads more to see.
We also visit the Cu Chi tunnels which many customers like as it saves them wasting a day in HCMC to do that trip.
With this trip we can be a bit flexible on time depending whether you want to spend a day relaxing in either Vung Tau or Mui Ne. No matter what you choose, your guide will stay with you to show and take you to all the best sites.
Once again, please contact David and let him work out the best itinerary for you.
The Cu Chi Tunnels
The Cu Chi Tunnels is an underground network which was excavated by the Vietnamese and used by the Viet Cong during both the French-Indochina War (1946-1954) and the Vietnam War (1955-1975). Situated near Ho Chi Minh City, the tunnels took around 25 years to construct and were finished in the 1960s. Stretching for over 200km (124 miles) and connecting numerous villages in the provinces, the tunnels once housed mini-hospitals, store rooms and factories, and were used as living quarters by both Vietnamese fighters and local villagers. The tunnels stand today as a symbol of the struggle by the Vietnamese people on one of the most famous battlegrounds of the Vietnam War. Cu Chi district was heavily bombed during the two wars and was particularly targeted at night, forcing residents to live in underground tunnels. Today, visitors to the site can experience life underground during their tour of the tunnels and imagine what life would have been like for the Vietnamese.
