Full description

Visit the Cu Chi Tunnels on a guided tour from Ho Chi Minh city. Step back in time as you learn about how this vast underground network was used in the Vietnam war. Select the VIP tour option to enjoy beer, fruits, snacks, and lunch during your tour.

Depart from Ho Chi Minh City for Cu Chi Tunnels, just 60 kilometers outside the city. Soak up the rural rice paddy scenery and sights of ducks and water buffalos swimming in the rivers along the side of the road.

After 1.5 hours ride. We arrive at the tunnels where you will: watch a short documentary film that takes you to the past with an introduction of the Cu Chi Tunnels - crawl distances through the tunnels that were used by the guerrilla fighters during the Vietnam War. You may see a kitchen, living quarters, and a meeting room on the way. Learn about how different types of traps were created and set up. Visit the weapons room and learn how the ingenious Viet Cong soldiers made them. Imagine the state of this peaceful district back when it was a "Free Target Zone" and suffered great destruction and damage due to bombing.

See the remnants in Cu Chi that are evidence of the fierce battle that once took place here. Get a chance to fire an AK-47. At the end of the tour, hop back on the bus for the journey back to Ho Chi Minh City.

The Tunnels were interesting to see and the guide had a lot of information to give about them! The option to go to the shooting range was given and some people used it while the rest of the group just watched, which I think is alright. Took about 7h all together, as we made a stop on the way there, which probably wasn't necessary. The guide gives information via microphone on the ride to the Tunnels. Due to oversteering and volume it is really hard to understand. It is not recommended to have plans afterwards (especially catching a flight), as the operator cannot give a promise about being back in time.

Fantastic day with Tuan. Tuan has served in the military so offered us a unique perspective on the area and what the soldiers would have gone through. Tuan was humorous throughout the day and I developed a respect for his life and experiences. Pick up was on time and transport was pleasant, with some refreshments given to us when we returned to the bus being much appreciated. It was a great day and I wish Tuan a happy (pending) retirement.

Overall, a very enlightening and even fun excursion. The tunnels, though smallish, had room to go through them without much trouble. I enjoyed it. And coming from the USA, it had a lot of historical impact. I highly recommend the trip, especially the luxury option I went on. If you have the budget, well worth it!
