Cu Chi Tunnels - Waterway Trip Half Day Morning Tours

Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels was an unforgettable and deeply moving experience that offered us a greatl glimpse into Vietnam’s wartime resilience and ingenuity. The site is meticulously preserved and thoughtfully presented, allowing visitors to walk through narrow underground passages, see original booby traps, and explore living quarters that housed fighters during the Vietnam War. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable, sharing vivid stories that bring the history to life with respect and clarity. A fascinating part of the visit is the screening of an old North Vietnamese propaganda documentary, shown in a small theater on-site—it’s a remarkable piece of history in itself, offering a raw and unapologetic portrayal of the conflict from the Vietnamese perspective. The visit not only highlights the incredible resourcefulness of the Vietnamese people but also encourages reflection on the broader human cost of conflict. A must-see for anyone interested in history, perseverance, and the spirit of survival. We took the speedboat from Saigon to get there - and then back to Saigon.

Really excellent and informative trip by speedboat to the tunnels. Our guide Lucky was very well informed and really brought the experience alive. The ingenuity of the soldiers who built lived in the tunnels was incredible. We went early which was a good idea to miss the crowds that came by bus later.

We’re a family of 5 with 16, 14 & 11 yr old kids. This was a great tour of Cu Chi tunnels. We went via speedboat which made the 1.5hr trip there more interesting. Our tour guide was fantastic with good English, funny and a good pace for kids. He gave us all the info we needed at a relatively fast pace then left time at the end for questions so we weren’t bogged down by info at every stop. His name was Mr Chi - I’ve included a photo of his card - you should ask for him to guide you! It is incredible to see how they lived in these tunnels and what both sides had to contend with in the war (traps, tunnels, jungle warfare). A must do in Saigon!
