About the Tour

In this Cu Chi Tunnels Half Day Small Group Tour, you will have the opportunity to visit the so-called “impregnable underground village” of Vietnam, Cu Chi Tunnels.

Cu Chi Tunnels is a famous destination located in the northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, about 70km from the city center. This is a legendary place in the resistance war against America of the Vietnamese people. Dubbed the “land of steel”, Cu Chi Tunnels has a tunnel system of more than 200km, which is considered an “impregnable underground village”.

Cu Chi Tunnels is a destination that attracts many tourists when visiting Ho Chi Minh City, especially international tourists. Today, some of the tunnels are renovated and opened more widely for visitors to get in and out more easily.

Basic information about Cu Chi Tunnels:

• This is the place where the Vietnamese people lived and fought during the resistance war against the US
• The tunnel system has been dug since 1946, and the excavation process has taken place for more than 20 years.
• The base is clay mixed with laterite, so it is very durable, less prone to landslides
• The tunnels are locacated about from 3m – 12m under the ground, including 3 floors with the capability of withstanding the destructive power of many types of heavy bombs
• The tunnels are designed in the shape of a backbone radiating many short and long branches
• The actual entrance and exit of the soldiers in the tunnels are very small, suitable for the physical condition of the Vietnamese people
