The Cu Chi tunnels are located 70 km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City. Known as the "Iron Land" during wartime, the Cu Chi tunnel system stretches over 200 km and was considered an unbreakable underground village. Join us on this group tour to explore this famous war site and gain insight into Vietnam's history.
Our tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in downtown Ho Chi Minh City (District 1). From there, we'll head to Cu Chi, which will take approximately one and a half hours by bus.
Upon arrival in Cu Chi, you'll first watch a short introduction video about how the tunnels were constructed and how people survived in the harsh conditions of wartime. After the video, you'll have time to explore the remaining areas and tunnel systems. These include specially constructed living areas with kitchens and bedrooms, alongside military facilities such as storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers that helped tunnel inhabitants meet their basic needs. Additionally, you'll see many hidden trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels that provided security during the war.
Afterward, special tea and cassava (the guerrillas' food during the war) will be served. You'll then have some break time to relax or, for those interested, to try real shooting guns (for an additional charge).
Finally, we will return to Saigon, and you will be dropped off at your hotel at around 2:00 - 2:30 PM, concluding the trip.
