Cu Chi Tunnels - Half Day Morning or Afternoon Luxury Tours

We were EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with VIATOR. VIATOR advertised the tour on their website as leaving g at 7:30 am and returning at 1:30 pm. We chose this tour carefully because we had to catch a 4:00 pm flight and needed to be at the airport by 2:00 pm. or 2:30 pm at the latest. The night before we got a message from VIATOR that the tour would start at 8:00 am and return at 3:00 pm. VIATOR basically told us that it was too bad and that we couldn’t cancel the trip and get a refund. So we got to the meeting place and talked yo our tour guide, Tuco. Five stars to Tuco! He helped us get a taxi to the airport the time at the shooting range. Unfortunately we could not finish the tour. We could not go to the Agent Orange museum because we had to go to the airport. Bottom line: Five stars to Tuco, zero stars to VIATOR for false advertising and extremely poor customer service. It’s too bad. I have taken other VIATOR tours and given VIATOR five stars.

Quite crowded, even on a weekday morning. Recommend sunscreen and a hat. Need at least 2 hours. More if you intend to do some live firing at the range.

The Củ Chi Tunnels were built during the French war (1940s) and expanded in the American war, stretching over 250 km. For nearly 20 years, Viet Cong soldiers lived and fought underground with kitchens, hospitals, and secret trapdoors. Despite US bombing and attacks, the tunnels helped them survive and defend Vietnam — a symbol of resilience after a thousand years under China and a century under French rule. Today, visitors can explore the tunnels, see hidden traps, and learn how the Vietnamese prepared and resisted one of the most powerful armies in the world.
