Additional Information

Our experienced local guide will expose you to the complete panorama of Cu Chi - a region that once witnessed desolation and is now growing in tranquility and prosperity. The Cu Chi tunnels, celebrated for their intricate architectural design, comprise a labyrinthine system that stretches over 250 km. These tunnels were ingeniously designed for concealment, secure habitation, and combat during the Vietnam - American War.

It’s commonly recognized that a key motivation for global visitors to venture to Vietnam, is the desire to explore how VC soldiers managed to endure the harsh brutality of the French & American war with its terrifying mantra of ‘kill anything that moves’. Today, tourists can explore sections of the Cu Chi Tunnels, navigate through some of the safer tunnel zones, observe command centres and booby traps, get a hands-on experience of firing an AK-47 at a shooting range, and even partake in a usual soldier meal that would have been typical for those dwelling in these tunnels. Additionally, the Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour also features a visit to a vibrant local market where you can delight in fresh tropical fruits.

  • Note: Please kindly let us know if you have any food allergies or special requests.

Warmest Hospitality!! - Hi, My partner and I booked a last min tour from the Signature By M hotel in Ho Chin Minh city. The tour guide confirmed it immediately and next morning picked us from the hotel. Xuyen (beautiful flower) gave us details about the tour in the car and guided us, took photographs, shared her wifi and helped me with my sim card issues. We were given water bottles and quick pitstop for breakfast and toilets. Xuyen also booked us a cab to get to the airport as we had flight to catch. Thanks for the beautiful memory Xuyen and Hero (tour guide and bus driver). We enjoyed and are mesmerised with the hospitality.

Best tour guide for Cu Chi Tunnels! - Seeing Cu Chi tunnels was always something I wanted to do and was so interesting. What made it special was our tour guide, Mr. Thang - he made it an education - a Vietnam history lesson that I hope I retain. So much information and he serves it up in an highly informative but witty and humorous way. Highly recommended tour!
