Highlights
-
Cu Chi Tunnels - After being picked up, you will begin your journey to the west of the city, toward Cu Chi (60km - 1,5 hours).
Upon arrival, watch a documentary about the Vietnam War. We then discover specially built living areas with kitchens, bedrooms, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers to assist whoever lives inside the Cu Chi tunnels in meeting their basic needs while listening to your guide’s stories about the history of this land. Many hidden behind trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels will be revealed, and we will learn more about the handmade weapons and traps used during the War.
Seeing huge bomb craters and the mere 10-13 feet thick level of upper soil can support the bearing weight of a 55-ton tank and the explosive damage of bombs left from the war. Highlight of the trip is to crawl and experience the underground town of Cu Chi Tunnels. The best part of the trip is crawling into it to experience what it was like.

You have the option to expand your experience by using the AK47 shooting range at your own expense.

Half day Cu Chi tunnels tour - Loc gave us a really insightful and fun tour of the caves. We enjoyed the tunnels, though some were a bit challenging. We developed a sense of awe and appreciation of the Vietnamese people and their struggles they gave while fighting for their freedom. Thanks to Papa Holidays and Loc for arranging a wonderful tour.
