Full description
Discover the area which resides at the end of the Ho Chi Minh Trail and served as the base from where Vietnamese guerilla soldier attacked Saigon. Learn about how the fighters of Cu Chi took the war underground by developing a network of tunnels that stretched as far as Cambodia, which included: meeting rooms, kitchens and ventilation systems. These tunnels served as an effective network for engaging in guerrilla warfare against U.S troops. Don’t miss this short, exciting trip through this labyrinth of interlaced tunnels. Choose how you want to experience it — in a smaller, larger, or private group. See green paddy fields, local farmers and buffaloes along the road to the tunnels for an insight into Vietnamese agriculture. Spend time exploring the maze of tunnels with countless trap doors, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers, kitchens, and more.

Great tour that was very well organised! Lam was a great tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about the tunnels and Vietnam too, I learned a lot from him. The tunnels are definitely a must see in HCM City, my favourite part was being able to go inside the tunnels.

Our tour guide, Mr. T was very friendly, hardworking and helpful throughout the tour. We enjoyed our time with him, he gave us a good background and history of the place. The main complain would be the tour bus, it was not very comfortable, packed and even Mr. T didn't have a chair to sit on. Thank you Mr T!

Yes. This was a really good tour. Quite a long journey but Sunday was a good choice as a little less traffic. Our guide Tommy , was hilarious. Lots of stories and jokes on the minibus trip but also serious when talking to us about the tunnels and the war time.
