Located about 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi tunnels consist of a vast network of 155 miles (250 km) of tunnels connecting underground living and cooking areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command center but also hundreds of trap doors. Initially dug with simple tools and bare hands for the fight against the French in the 1940s, the tunnels were then extended by Vietnamese revolutionary soldiers during the "American War" in the 1960s and 1970s. It became a large, multi-story, deep underground city providing hiding spots, as well as communication and supply routes, helping the Vietnamese revolutionaries. On this tour, you'll get to experience what it was like for those who called these tunnels home and how they endured.

Amazing experience at the Cu Chi Tunnels! Our guide was energetic and made the whole trip fun and informative. He explained everything clearly and even showed us some hidden spots. The driver was polite and the van super comfy. My kids still talk about crawling through the tunnels!

We had a half day private tour of the Cu Chi tunnels with Tam while on holiday in Saigon. The pick up was seamless with good communication with the organiser. We had some issues with travel the day before but they were able to adjust the timing slightly no problem which was great.
Cold water and towels were provided. It was a hot day but we stayed comfortable with the air con in the vehicle and not out in the hot for too long.
The attraction itself is really interesting and it's great to learn of the history of it. Our tour guide Tam was very knowledgeable and knew just the right amount of information to give us, and very happy to answer all our questions about the war and Saigon. He explained it all very sensitively and from all sides, it was a great way to learn about it not just from history books. Although it was quite busy, Tam knew just where to take us so we could see all the exhibits but not get caught up in the crowds, we really appreciated that.
Thank you for a great tour, you really made our trip ❤️
