Not that impressed. It was interesting, but most of the tunnels are reproductions, it's a long drive, and it's over touristed. Wouldn't recommend it. more

If you are in HCMC and have not visited Cu Chi tunnels, it is worth the trip. Just to get a sense of how the Vietnamese resisted during the war and the (inhuman) conditions in which they lived makes this worthwhile, the tunnels can at times be a little bit claustrophobic and tight although I hear the ones that you... more

The Cu Chi tunnels are an amazing achievement by the people of the region and the Vietcong, very informative and well worth a private tour if you can do it. more

There really aren't that many great options for activities when visiting Saigon. I'm sure that this is much more interesting when there aren't so many people visiting at the same time. So go on a quite day (ask your conceirge). When I went we were hearded through the exibits like cattle. Also, you might try and find a really good... more

I've crawled through airless tunnels before - in Valley of the Kings, for instance - to see impressive artwork, or a piece of history. But here the purpose of crawling was, well, just crawling. The theme park around the tunnels is quite cheesy IMO and tends to focus on human brutality instead of the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people. more

There were 2 or 3 aspects to this organised trip (Delta Tours) to Cu Chi and Cao Dai Temple that I was not happy about. One was the delay getting going. Some people had overslept and were not ready when the coach arrived at their hotel. In my opinion why should everyone else have to wait for them? Tough. They... more

Like many historic tourist destinations these days, the place has been mocked up a little to cater for tourists. But despite that, I still found it to be an interesting, and at times overwhelming, experience to see the way the tunnels were used during the war. Definitely worth the drive in my opinion. more

You cannot come to Saigon and not make a trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels. I have been there 3 times in 6 months, taking various overseas visitors to see it. I agree some of the accuracy of the information is questionable as it is coming from a North Vietnamese viewpoint but is it any different from the propaganda we... more

Not really worth the long drive and lines to see a tourist trap. It is fun for kids - but if you are a history buff - then it is a bit annoying. more
