Step into Vietnam’s wartime past on a private half-day guided tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels, an underground stronghold used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War.
Set off from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City in a private vehicle with your English-speaking guide. Enjoy a scenic 90-minute drive to the Cu Chi Tunnels site.
Historical introduction
Begin with a short documentary that traces the origins, construction, and wartime significance of the tunnels.
Tunnel exploration
Spend about 2 hours on-site exploring key areas—tunnel entrances, command centers, living quarters, kitchens, and escape routes.
Life underground
Discover how the Viet Cong survived underground with hidden wells, makeshift hospitals, and cleverly camouflaged structures designed to outsmart bombings.
Trap demonstrations
Witness live demonstrations of booby traps and hear compelling stories of guerrilla tactics.
End your visit with a traditional cassava and tea tasting. You can also visit the on-site shooting range (optional, at an additional cost) before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City in your private transport
