Additional Information

Our experienced local guide will expose you to the complete panorama of Cu Chi - a region that once witnessed desolation and is now growing in tranquility and prosperity. The Cu Chi tunnels, celebrated for their intricate architectural design, comprise a labyrinthine system that stretches over 250 km. These tunnels were ingeniously designed for concealment, secure habitation, and combat during the Vietnam - American War.

It’s commonly recognized that a key motivation for global visitors to venture to Vietnam, is the desire to explore how VC soldiers managed to endure the harsh brutality of the French & American war with its terrifying mantra of ‘kill anything that moves’. Today, tourists can explore sections of the Cu Chi Tunnels, navigate through some of the safer tunnel zones, observe command centres and booby traps, get a hands-on experience of firing an AK-47 at a shooting range, and even partake in a usual soldier meal that would have been typical for those dwelling in these tunnels. Additionally, the Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour also features a visit to a vibrant local market where you can delight in fresh tropical fruits.

  • Note: Please kindly let us know if you have any food allergies or special requests.

Best tour guide for Cu Chi Tunnels! - Seeing Cu Chi tunnels was always something I wanted to do and was so interesting. What made it special was our tour guide, Mr. Thang - he made it an education - a Vietnam history lesson that I hope I retain. So much information and he serves it up in an highly informative but witty and humorous way. Highly recommended tour!

A fabulously informative experience of the Cu Chi tunnels - A very informative and interesting tour of this historic site. Jasmine was loaded with facts right from the go. She gave us a good lesson in Vietnamese history all the way to life in modern Vietnam. The tour of the tunnels was very engaging and informative. We got to sample crawling through a 100m section of tunnel and fire an AK47!! Thanks Jasmine for a memorable day

Great visit with a friendly guide - We visited Cu Chi tunnels with Xuyen as our guide. She made us feel comfortable, like a group of friends, explained us a lot of the history of the tunnels and even she made us a video when we went through the tunnels. A very great guide and a very very interesting place to understand how the vietcong lived and fought at the war.

Great tour, be aware of souvenirs! - Great guide and experience! Note that similar Handicapped Handicraft artwork can be found for less at the Cu Chi Tunnels for less. However it is reported that the quality is different, and is from a different manufacturer.
