5.00Did the half-day Ben Dinh tour – pretty solid overall. The guide was friendly and told interesting stories, not boring at all. We stopped at 3 spots around the tunnels and even got to crawl through one (super short but still kinda intense 😅). Not as crowded as Ben Duoc, so it was chill. Nice quick trip, back by afternoon with time to spare.
good

5.00Arriving at the Cu Chi site, I was struck by how peaceful the forest surroundings were—it's hard to imagine this was once a fierce battlefield. The tunnel system is a mix of original and reconstructed areas. We learned how Vietnamese fighters lived, moved, and even cooked underground to avoid detection. Some tunnels have been widened slightly for tourists, but they’re still tight, dark, and humid. Crawling through them was intense—claustrophobic, yes, but incredibly humbling.
Excellent

5.00During my stay in Ho Chi Minh City, I kept hearing about the Cu Chi Tunnels—a legendary underground network used during the Vietnam War. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I decided to join a half-day guided tour. It turned out to be one of the most memorable and eye-opening experiences of my trip.
It was an amazing trip
