Ho Chi Minh City Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Guided Tour with Hotel Pickup

Leave Ho Chi Minh City and discover
the wartime history of the Cu Chi Tunnels

After hotel pickup, travel to Cu Chi District and explore the Cu Chi Tunnels with an English-speaking guide on this tour of about 6.5 hours. Located at the end of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, this area was used as a base by Vietnamese guerrillas when they attacked Saigon. After the visit and some free time, you are dropped off in central District 1.

Pass green rice fields on the way to Cu Chi

Ride an air-conditioned bus (minivan for small groups) for about 1 hour 45 minutes. Along the way, see green rice paddies, local farmers and water buffalo for a glimpse of rural Vietnam, with a short stop for rest and photos.

Crawl through the maze of underground tunnels

Watch a short propaganda film, then learn from your guide how the Cu Chi fighters waged war underground. See secret entrances, storage areas, weapons workshops, a field hospital, command headquarters and kitchens, as well as the booby traps used during the war.

Enter one of the tunnels and crawl through its narrow passages. After the guided visit, you have about 30 minutes of free time.

Taste cassava and tea and stop at the shooting range

Taste cassava (tapioca), the most common food during the war, with hot Vietnamese tea. The tour also stops at the shooting range, where you can fire an M16 or AK47 rifle for an extra fee.
