Additional Information

Located about 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi tunnels consist of a vast network of 155 miles (250 km) of tunnels connecting underground living and cooking areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command center but also hundreds of trap doors. Initially dug with simple tools and bare hands for the fight against the French in the 1940s, the tunnels were then extended by Vietnamese revolutionary soldiers during the ‘American War’ in the 1960s and 1970s. It became a large, multi-story, deep underground city providing hiding spots, as well as communication and supply routes, helping the Vietnamese revolutionaries. On this tour, you’ll get to experience what it was like for those who called these tunnels home and how they endured.

Private tunnels tour - Absolutely fascinating, an important part of history that has been made accessible to visitors in a very thought out way. Our tour guide was Typhoon Honey and really recommend him, his historical knowledge is very impressive and is warm and engaging throughout. The driver also was superb, I felt absolutely safe at all times with Quan. A very professional tour with attention to detail.

Must visit Cu Chi - Full of history and you get to touch it briefly. We are so lucky to have visited with our private guide. He was so knowledgeable and excellent in maneuvering big group tours. The flexibility made the tour even better.

Informative and Fun Tour! - A great day getting out of the busy city and exploring the countryside and tunnels of Cu Chi. Typhoon Honey (our Guide for the day) and our driver picked us up from our hotel at 8am in a very comfortable minibus with nice chilled air conditioning! A couple of interesting stops for cold juice and drinks, and to buy local art then on to the tunnels. A great 2 hour walk through the jungle learning all about life during the war. Chance to go underground and even shoot guns if you choose. A wonderful and highly entertaining day out, we were very well looked after by Typhoon Honey. This was certainly not a glorification of war, but more a reminder of the importance of peace. Thanks so much!
