Experience the world of the Cu Chi freedom fighters with a visit to their famous tunnel system. This network of over 200 km of tunnels became legendary during the 1960's when they played a vital part in the American War, allowing the Viet Cong to control a large rural area close to Ho Chi Minh City. In their heyday, the tunnels were functioning underground cities.

The tour was a real eye opener for the ingenuity of the Vietnamese. What they did to survive was astonishing. Thành was an amazing guide. His knowledge and humour added to the experience.

Thanks Thanh for our wonderful day! You were so knowledgable of the history of Vietnam and the ingenuity of the Vietnamese people during the Vietnam ( American ) war. The Tunnels were remarkable. I got to shoot a Machine Gun, and learn about the strategies used in warfare. The food was great too - accommodating for GF/ Vegan. Highly recommend.

We were toured by Zane around the Cu Chi Tunnels from Ho Chi Minh City. Zane was full of knowledge on Vietnam, the war and life in the tunnels and made the experience a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Thank you Zane!

Zane was friendly and overall fantastic! We had him lead our night food tour yesterday and today he led the cu chi tunnels tour. He was very informative on the bus ride and at the tunnels. He was very detailed and interesting. We even managed to miss some of the lineups ;) What a great day.

Excellent tour from Zane. Knowledgeable and good information provided before the tour so we didn’t spend too long in overcrowded parts of the experience.
