About this activity
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.

We did this tour with Holly (sp?) and she was a WONDERFUL guide. We were a group of 3 moms traveling with our 3 teenage daughters. She clearly explained everything around the site. She kept the pace moving quickly so even through it was only a half-day tour, we got to see everything. Clearly, it was from the point of view of a south Vietnamese woman whose parents lived through the war, so it was a true learning experience hearing her explanations and the other side of history. She was well educated, engaging and curious about our thoughts and experiences as Americans exploring abroad. We got to fire AK-47s, duck-walk through a section of original tunnel, and even enjoy a snack of jasmine tea and cassava with peanuts. Overall, a great tour - educational and enjoyable! I highly recommend this tour!
