THE EXPERIENCE
 
Cu Chi Tunnels is always very busy and often crowded every day of the week! The crowds increase on weekends and during Vietnam’s holiday periods. There can be long morning-queues at every stop with overcrowding on any day you visit.
 
 
Here are our tips for enjoying this tour with us:
 
For Private Tour : we make an early start ( at 7:30 AM ) to arrive at the tunnels before the long unruly queues that build-up with the arrival of the large group tours. Finishing your day mid-afternoon means you miss the homeward rush too. This is important advice for families traveling with elders and young children ( you will be back to the city on time for lunch).
 
Safe and fun tour for kids guaranteed
 
WHAT SHOULD WE DO
 
See a self-contained underground city at Cu Chi War Tunnels.
 
Learn all about the ingenious techniques of living underground for days, months and years from the first day that the tunnel formed to the end of the Vietnam War.
 
You can look for firing real wartime rifles and machine guns.
 
WHAT TO EXPECT
 
Learn the struggles of life in wartime Vietnam firsthand when you go below ground in the notorious Cu Chi Tunnels. See how soldiers and civilians lived through the conflicts and the ingenious methods used to conceal themselves.
 
An extremely complex tunnel system, the Cu Chi network covers a wide area of countryside near to Ho Chi Minh city and was an excellent way for the Viet Cong to move underground, undetected by American forces.
 
The Cu Chi tour starts with an introductory video detailing its long 25-year construction. Then it is time to go underground in the infamous 120-mile Cu Chi tunnel system which offered a safe haven for soldiers and thousands of Vietnamese people during the Vietnam War.
 
On display are booby traps, the remains of an US army tank and huge craters left by American B52 bombs. You will be able to admire lots of compelling photos and personal effects left behind.
 
There is also the chance to take part in your own "HUNGER GAMES" and fire an authentic AK rifle used during the war (Bullet fee is on your own).

    ¡Excelente recorrido de Ho Chi Minh a Cu Chi! Los túneles eran estrechos, pero emocionantes. Incluso quedé dentro. Muchas gracias a nuestro guía por mantenernos informados y entretenidos durante todo el recorrido.

    Good experience !!!!!!!

    Cu Chi is not just a place you visit — it’s something you experience. Our journey began with a short documentary gave us context about why and how the tunnels were built. Crawling inside the tunnels gives us the thrill of living history. The tunnel was narrow, dark. It’s an experience that connects you with the past not just through facts, but through footsteps.

    Stærkt anbefalet!

    Fra det øjeblik, vi ankom. Besøget begyndte med en kort sort-hvid dokumentar, der gav et råt og ærligt indblik i krigen. især dagligdagen for dem, der levede og kæmpede under jorden. Guiden var utroligt vidende, og ved hvert stop forklarede de tunnelsystemets opfindsomhed, konstruktionsmetoderne og soldatens overlevelsesstrategier.
