It was super informative which is what I was looking for. Our host had great energy and was hilarious. Considering the price, it did not feel like a budget trip. You can pay extra if you want to do some shooting. I recommend this tour and will recommend it to my friends.

Our guide Minh (Steven) was amazing, I was worried about getting a guide as I didn't want to be rushed or anything but he took as through at a nice pace, and explained loads. He was very funny and overall amazing!

War eine sehr interessante Tour, welche eine gute Länge hatte, man hat viele Eindrücke von dem damaligen Leben in den Tunneln bekommen. Wir würden jedem der die Chance hat her zu kommen, hin zu kommen.

Our guide Theo was a fun guy, very open and telling us a lot of interesting information! We made multiple stops and got to see many different types of tunnel rooms.

The tour guide, Duc, was very knowledgeable and quite humorous. The trip there contained a stop to where they were making eggshell art. Quite interesting but we didn't want to purchase anything. Tunnels were good but this part is quite short, which is a shame as this is the main part. We took the 12pm pick up slot and the traffic on the way back was awful 😖 Nice trip but a long time on the bus.

I loved this experience! Mr. Fa was our tour guide and he was excellent. He was very knowledgable and whether or not you were aware of the history of Vietnam and the war beforehand he made sure information was easy to understand and applicable to the tour. He was also very friendly and answered any questions posed. The tour itself was very interesting, and whilst physically demanding at some points, felt rewarding at the end of it. I would recommend this to anyone interested or questioning themselves on whether to go. We also had the opportunity to try out shooting (whilst I myself did not do it, it was cool to see) as well as see handmade crafts made by handicapped people affected by the war which were available for purchase, which I thought made for a lovely souvenir.

Step into Vietnam’s wartime past with a guided half-day tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels, a vital underground stronghold used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War.

Getting started

Get picked up from your hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City and enjoy a scenic 90-minute drive to the Ben Dinh site.

What to expect

Historical introduction

Start with a short documentary that outlines the construction and wartime use of the tunnels.

Tunnel exploration

Spend around 2 hours on-site crawling through tunnel sections and exploring underground kitchens, living quarters, command centers, and escape routes.

Life underground

Learn how the Viet Cong survived using hidden wells, makeshift hospitals, food storage, and clever design—even during intense bombing raids.

Trap demonstrations

Watch live demonstrations of booby traps and hear real stories of guerrilla warfare.

What to bring

Wear comfortable shoes as the terrain is rugged and bring sunglasses, insect repellent, and a sun hat.

Only bring small bags or backpacks as large items may hinder movement through the tunnels.

What’s not allowed

Smoking is not allowed inside the tunnels.

Accessibility

The experience is not wheelchair and pram/stroller accessible.

This experience is not suitable for guests with mobility issues and claustrophobia as the terrain is uneven and the tunnels are very narrow.

Additional information

The tour includes pickup from certain hotels in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. If your accommodation is outside the hotel pick-up area, head to the meet-up location provided.

Pickup times available are 7:30am or 12pm.

Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.

Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the starting point.

Please check your final voucher for the starting point details & specific instructions.
