ABOUT THIS TOUR
Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour: Step Into Living History
The Journey to an Underground Labyrinth
Leave the modern streets of Ho Chi Minh City behind as we embark on a scenic drive northwest toward the Cambodian border. Your Cu Chi Tunnels Tour begins with an engaging introduction from your local guide, setting the stage for what lies ahead. Today, you will stand atop a massive, historic underground network of subterranean passages, living quarters, and tactical rooms that stretches an incredible 125 miles (200 kilometers) beneath the jungle floor.
Uncover Secrets Hidden Beneath the Jungle
Upon arrival, a brief introductory documentary will give you an essential understanding of the intense history and strategic brilliance behind this complex. From there, you will head into the forest to see the ingenuity firsthand. Discover cleverly camouflaged trap doors, explore underground storage facilities, visit historic weapons factories, and see the legendary smoke-less kitchens that sustained thousands of lives in secret.
Wartime Flavors & Optional Adrenaline
After navigating a section of the tunnels, experience a taste of history by sampling steamed tapioca root served with hot tea—the exact staple diet of the fighters during the conflict. Before we head back, adventure-seekers have the unique, optional opportunity to visit the nearby Cu Chi firing range to test their aim with legendary wartime rifles like the AK-47 or M16 (available at an additional cost).
Hassle-Free Return
