- ABOUT THIS SERVICE -

Travel from Ho Chi Minh City to the historic Cu Chi Tunnels and discover the remarkable underground network built during wartime. Explore hidden entrances, underground living areas, kitchens, military facilities, and wartime traps while learning about the daily life and survival techniques of those who lived in the tunnels.

Watch a short introductory video before exploring the tunnel complex, then experience crawling through a section of the tunnels and tasting traditional tapioca with pandan tea. An optional shooting range experience is also available at an additional cost.

 

- ITINERARY -

Pick up at your hotel and depart to Cu Chi will take approximately one and a half hours bus driving. 

 

Upon arrival, before exploring the tunnels, you will have some short introduction followed by introductory video about how the tunnels were constructed and how the people survived in the harsh conditions of the war time.

 

Then, spend your time to explore the remaining area and tunnel systems which included the special constructed living areas with kitchens, bedrooms side by side with other martial facilities like storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers helping whoever lives inside the tunnels meet their basic needs.

Besides, there are also many hidden trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels for security purpose during the war.

Afterward, special tea and cassava (guerilla’s food during the war) will be served. 
 

Break time for relax or time for those who want to try the real shooting gun.
