For those who are interested, there is an opportunity to fire off an AK47, M16 or M60 with real bullets at the shooting range (bullets at your own cost). You can also see the lines used to make rice-wine and rice-paper (the skin for spring rolls).

The most exciting part of the tour is to try to go through a real underground tunnel, giving you a once-in-a-lifetime experience to feel like a real VC (Vietnamese Communist).

Afterwards, sample the steamed tapioca root which was the main staple food in Cu Chi during the war.

4:45PM, say goodbye to Cu Chi Tunnels and get on a speedboat to return to Saigon.
