Additional Information
Situated approximately 60 kilometers northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels are a vast system of subterranean passageways that extend all the way to Cambodia. This intricate network of tunnels was constructed over a period of 25 years, starting in 1948, during the conflict against the French. They functioned as a form of communication between villages and enabled the Vietnamese to bypass French scouts. During the Vietnam War, the tunnel system was expanded to cover an area of 250 kilometers, playing a vital role in the strategic plans of the Viet Cong fighting forces and providing shelter for thousands of soldiers. Presently, around 120 kilometers of this labyrinth are preserved, serving as a fascinating tourist destination in Ho Chi Minh City.

Cu Chi Tunnel half day tour - Derek was excellent. Good English with a great sense of humour.
It was really good to be able to choose a pick up time. Ours was 1100 which meant that our tour was between the busy periods so felt more personal.
Thank you Derek for an informative and fun day

Wonderful Mekong Delta & Cao Dai - Cu Chi Tunnels Tour and excellent guide!!! - Thanks to Athena Travel Vietnam for making our trip to Ho chi Minh enjoyable (including Cao Dai Temple and Cu Chi Tunnels tour & Floating market in Mekong delta tour). I would like to give some credits to your staff Ms Tracy on handling my bookings who is very helpful and provide very prompt reply to all my emails on any inquiries.
It has been a pleasure having Thuong as our guide -- she is an epitome of excellence in service. She went beyond what was expected of her. She was sensitive to the needs of her guests and she adjusted accordingly. She has become a dear friend of ours.We had so much fun and we were able to maximize our limited time in Vietnam. We love the Saigon tour packages we availed of. Thank you.

Worth a trip - Pick up was in time and the guide was pleasant. Pit stop on the way at a Handicraft by Handicapped artists. There was no pressure to buy anything and we opted to give a donation, again no pressure to do this either.We did feel rushed through the experience which was a shame as my son was keen to spend more time viewing certain things. In the end we arrived back at the motel an hour early so we could have taken our time to experience at our own pace. Otherwise, the site itself is definitely worth going to.
