This immersive experience will provide you with a deeper understanding of the country’s history, as well as the resilience and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people during the Vietnam War.
Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in a comfortable 7-seater SUV, setting off towards the Cu Chi Tunnels. As you travel, take in the picturesque scenery of the Vietnamese countryside, passing lush rice paddies and quaint villages along the way.
Upon arrival at the Cu Chi Tunnels site, you’ll start your journey into the past by watching a short introduction video, which will give you an insight into the construction of the tunnels and how the people managed to survive in such harsh conditions during wartime. The video will set the scene for the incredible underground network you’re about to explore.
It's time to delve into the heart of the Private Guided Cu Chi Tunnels Tour
Following the introduction, it’s time to delve into the heart of the Cu Chi Tunnels themselves. Accompanied by your knowledgeable English-speaking tour guide, you’ll wander through the extensive tunnel system and visit specially constructed living areas, complete with kitchens and bedrooms.
These living quarters are located side by side with other essential facilities, such as storage rooms, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers, ensuring that those residing within the tunnels had access to everything they needed for survival.
As you navigate the maze-like tunnels, you’ll also encounter hidden trap doors and an array of dangerous traps that were put in place for security purposes during the war. The ingenuity and resourcefulness of the tunnel’s inhabitants are evident throughout your exploration, providing a fascinating glimpse into a challenging period in Vietnam’s history.
After your journey through the tunnels, you’ll have the opportunity to taste a special tea and cassava, which served as the guerilla fighters’ primary food source during the war. This unique experience will further immerse you in the daily lives of those who lived and fought within the Cu Chi Tunnels.
Once you’ve had time to relax and reflect on your experience, you may choose to participate in an optional activity: trying your hand at shooting a real gun (at an additional cost).

Finally, as your private guided Cu Chi Tunnels tour comes to an end, you’ll be transported back to Ho Chi Minh City in your comfortable 7-seater SUV, with memories and insights that will last a lifetime.
