What To Expect
Cu Chi Tunnels
At Morning/Afternoon, your private tour guide and car will pick you up from your hotel and take you North West to the Cu Chi Tunnels which are 70kms away. This is an area where Vietnamese people proudly held their ground during the Vietnam war (in Vietnam it is known as The American War). Over 200kms of underground tunnels were made, the trip will help you understand the struggle the Vietnamese would have gone through on the frontline. It took an enormous amount of ingenuity, courage and imagination to match the enemy and these tunnels were a big part of the Vietnam War and ended being a resounding victory for the Cu Chi people. The tunnel system, fortifications and trenches were a part of a soldiers life, you will see how they lived, the kitchens, store rooms, hospital, living quarters. You can crawl around parts of the tunnel yourself and watch a video of the history of the Vietnam War in this area. We will then take you back to your hotel.

5.00Wow. Quang was an amazing tour guide. He was very very knowledgeable, he knew his history and communicated it in an engaging and personable way. he was on time, attentive and professional and elevated the tour to the Cu Chi tunnels to a new level. it’s one thing to see something, and another to hear the history and background of what you are seeing and experiencing. The tour was at a good pace, with plenty of time for breaks and to take on the scenery. an excellent experience and highly recommended. Thank you!
Super interesting and special experience in a not too far location

5.00It takes 1.5 hours to get to the tunnels and exhibitions. The van was in excellent condition and the air conditioning was working perfectly. Harry the guide was very amicable and friendly. He was also very knowledgeable. A great tour for those spending no less than two days in Ho Chi Min City.
Ideal way to explore Cu Chi Tunnels

4.00Our tour leader Qui was excellent. He is 5 star. His English was great and his perfect English helped us connect w the haunting content of the tour. The tunnels are just one small part of the tour - it’s everything else about the guerrilla war that’s confronting & fascinating. We chose to fire a pistol at the shooting range for 60,000 per bullet. It’s a life experience I guess, but it was crowded and our gun broke. Still, interesting (& loud!) You can crawl thru 20 - 100m of tunnels. I bailed at 20m bc it was a bit too much for me. Overall it’s a must do. Taking in the horrific war first-hand is an experience that will last forever. Also - there’s a stop on the way to a lacquerware factory, run as a quasi charity for victims of Agent Orange. Again, confronting but we were happy ti donate. And… I wanted to buy mangosteen. Qui happily got our driver to stop at a roadside stall and negotiated the price for us. Great hospitality
Private tours way to go
