What To Expect
Ho Chi Minh City
Escape the bustle of Ho Chi Minh City and head straight to the countryside. Unlike standard big-bus tours, our Small Group van navigates the traffic faster, getting you to the site before the massive crowds arrive (for the morning slot). Watch the cityscape fade into rice paddies and rubber plantations. Your guide will provide an introduction to the Vietnam War (American War) context, setting the scene for what you are about to witness.
Ben Duoc tunnel complex
Upon arrival, watch a short documentary (a relic from the war era) before heading into the jungle. - Discover how a 200km underground web was built using simple tools. - See the ingenious and terrifying traps used during the conflict. - Experience the claustrophobic reality of tunnel life by crawling through a safe section of the tunnel (widened for visitors). Note: Crawling is optional; you can walk above ground if you prefer. For those interested in military history, there is an opportunity to fire real weapons (AK-47 or M16) at the National Defense Sports Shooting Range (bullets are at your own expense). Before leaving, sit down to taste boiled tapioca with sesame salt and hot pandan tea—the actual diet that sustained the Viet Cong fighters in the tunnels.

5.00Tour was excellent. Our guide, Haha, is very welcoming and friendly. He’s very knowledgeable and accommodating. I get to enjoy Cu Chi Tunnels because he gave us the background why it was built, how it was used in the war and how smart and strategic Vietnamese soldiers are. I wish he was our guide on our whole HCM tour 😊

5.00This is my second time doing the Cuchi Tour, but this time I had the chance to experience it with my kids. Even on my second visit, I’m still in awe of how incredibly smart, strategic, and resourceful the Vietnamese people were. The way they engineered the tunnels, their methods of survival, and the creativity behind their traps, hiding spots, and daily systems truly reflect unmatched ingenuity and resilience. It’s amazing to see how they turned limited resources into such an effective, well-thought-out network. A huge kudos and thank you to our tour guide, Vincent, for his very detailed and engaging explanation. He made the history come alive and helped us appreciate the bravery and brilliance behind everything we saw. Truly an unforgettable experience.
