Cu Chi Tunnels - At either 8am or 12:30pm your private tour guide and car will pick you up from your hotel and take you North West to the Cu Chi Tunnels which are 70kms away. This is an area where Vietnamese people proudly held their ground during the Vietnam war (in Vietnam it is known as The American War). Over 200kms of underground tunnels were made, the trip will help you understand the struggle the Vietnamese would have gone through on the frontline. It took an enormous amount of ingenuity, courage and imagination to match the enemy and these tunnels were a big part of the Vietnam War and ended being a resounding victory for the Cu Chi people.
The tunnel system, fortifications and trenches were a part of a soldiers life, you will see how they lived, the kitchens, store rooms, hospital, living quarters. You can crawl around parts of the tunnel yourself and watch a video of the history of the Vietnam War in this area.
We will then take you back to your hotel.

Informative tour with professional guide - We had a great experience visiting Chu Chi tunnels with our informative guide Lawrence Huynh who told us a lot of interesting historic facts and gave us a lot of useful information. Lawrence was very helpful, friendly and fluent in English.

Fantastic - Danny was amazing and funny on the tunnel tour
We had a private tour and could be catered to our needs
Was well worth the extra cost compared to a group tour

Private tours way to go - Our whole experience from being picked up at our apartment to our young funny and knowledgeable tour guide was wonderful. Having a private tour is the only way to do it. Would recommend to anyone.

Wonderful experience! - Our experience was excellent! Our guide, Luat and driver, Thai were very good. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in Ho Chi Minh and had a comfortable ride to the site. About halfway there, we stopped at a factory where egg shells, sea shells and lacquer were used by war victims to make beautiful pictures. It was interesting to see the process happening and nice to have the opportunity to purchase the hand made items. Luat was so knowledgeable about the tunnels and the history of the American/Vietnam war. He explained the history very plainly and thoroughly and was willing to answer all of our questions..not only at the site but also on the ride to and from. An unexpected treat was getting to take a short break and taste tea and tapioca. Luat also shared with us his personal experience during the war and the role that his father played in it. We could not have been happier with the experience! Wonderful guide and highly recommended!

Fascinating Perspective on Life - Very informative and interesting tour - I recommend booking private so you can move at your own pace. Our guide “K” was first class and it was very interesting to talk with him about his life and experiences growing up/living/working in Vietnam. I would ask for him by name.

4.5 stars. - Our tour leader Qui was excellent. He is 5 star. His English was great and his perfect English helped us connect w the haunting content of the tour.
The tunnels are just one small part of the tour - it’s everything else about the guerrilla war that’s confronting & fascinating.
We chose to fire a pistol at the shooting range for 60,000 per bullet. It’s a life experience I guess, but it was crowded and our gun broke. Still, interesting (& loud!)
You can crawl thru 20 - 100m of tunnels. I bailed at 20m bc it was a bit too much for me.
Overall it’s a must do. Taking in the horrific war first-hand is an experience that will last forever.
Also - there’s a stop on the way to a lacquerware factory, run as a quasi charity for victims of Agent Orange. Again, confronting but we were happy ti donate.
And… I wanted to buy mangosteen. Qui happily got our driver to stop at a roadside stall and negotiated the price for us. Great hospitality
