Step into Vietnam’s wartime past with a guided half-day tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels, a vital underground stronghold used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War.
Get picked up from your hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City and enjoy a scenic 90-minute drive to the Ben Dinh site.
Historical introduction
Start with a short documentary that outlines the construction and wartime use of the tunnels.
Tunnel exploration
Spend around 2 hours on-site crawling through tunnel sections and exploring underground kitchens, living quarters, command centers, and escape routes.
Life underground
Learn how the Viet Cong survived using hidden wells, makeshift hospitals, food storage, and clever design—even during intense bombing raids.
Trap demonstrations
Watch live demonstrations of booby traps and hear real stories of guerrilla warfare.
Wrap up the visit with a tasting of cassava and tea. You can also visit the on-site shooting range (optional, at an additional cost) before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City.
