Summary

In war movies, you may have seen the Cu Chi tunnels, famed for being an intricate network of underground facilities through which the Viet Congs launched surprising attacks against Americans in the 1960s. These tunnels are such an integral (and scary) part of that war, and I think visitors to Ho Chi Minh City should not miss the chance to visit and see it for themselves. Cu Chi tunnels is not just tunnels in one location, it covers over 250 km with several stories deep – some of them probably even undiscovered still. Don’t hesitate; let’s join this Ho Chi Minh City tour with us to get a deeper understanding about the famous Vietnam-American war.

Before visiting the tunnels, visitors will find it hard to imagine the destruction, damage & defoliation over this whole area, caused by bombing and mines.

  • Before entering the tunnels visitors can watch a short introductory video showing how the tunnels were constructed.
  • You will spend the next hour exploring the tunnels.
  • Afterwards, enjoy tea, cassava (guerrilla’s food during the war).
