Itinerary
- 1After being picked up, you will begin your journey to the west of the city, toward Cu Chi (60km - 1,5 hours). Upon arrival, watch a documentary about the Vietnam War. We then discover specially built living areas with kitchens, bedrooms, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers to assist whoever lives inside the Cu Chi tunnels in meeting their basic needs while listening to your guide's stories about the history of this land. Many hidden behind trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels will be revealed, and we will learn more about the handmade weapons and traps used during the War. Seeing huge bomb craters and the mere 10-13 feet thick level of upper soil can support the bearing weight of a 55-ton tank and the explosive damage of bombs left from the war. Highlight of the trip is to crawl and experience the underground town of Cu Chi Tunnels. The best part of the trip is crawling into it to experience what it was like.

I must say that I had an amazing experience on the Cu Chi tunnel trip, and I couldn't have asked for a better tour guide than Loc (Josh). He was an exceptional host who provided us with a wealth of knowledge about Ho Chi Minh City and the Vietnam War, making the trip not only enjoyable but also educational. I appreciated how he took the time to explain the historical significance of each site we visited and answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and clarity. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about Vietnam's rich history while enjoying a fun and engaging trip with a top-notch guide like Loc (Josh).

Mary's knowledge and expertise about the historical significance of the Cu Chi tunnels were impressive, and she shared captivating stories that brought the site to life. Her professionalism and attention to detail ensured that our group had a seamless and enriching experience.
We strongly recommend anyone who are in Saigon to work with her if you want to learn deep knowledge about Vietnam War.

Loc was a very good guide, on the minibus that took us to the tunnels he introduced the history of Vietnam, and of Saigon, of the wars against the French first and the Americans afterwards. He has a perfect knowledge of English and is very willing to give explanations to various questions. Nice and kind. The visit to the tunnels is short but very interesting, the cunning and resilience of the Vietnamese who exhausted the powerful American army is incredible. I highly recommend this half day tour.

Grazie per il tuo prezioso feedback! Siamo estremamente felici che tu abbia avuto un'esperienza positiva con Loc come tua guida per i tunnel di Cu Chi. È fantastico sapere che ha introdotto la storia del Vietnam e di Saigon, oltre alle guerre contro i francesi e gli americani, e che ha una conoscenza perfetta dell'inglese. La sua disponibilità nel rispondere alle domande e la sua simpatia e gentilezza sono davvero apprezzate. Siamo lieti che tu abbia trovato la visita ai tunnel breve ma molto interessante, e che hai potuto apprezzare l'astuzia e la resilienza del popolo vietnamita. Grazie per raccomandare vivamente il nostro tour di mezza giornata.

We took the half day Cu chi tunnel tour and our guide was Loc. He was extremely calm headed and gave us great insights about the history of US Vietnam war. He showed us everything in Cu Chi tunnel with great enthusiasm and made sure we understood everything. His English is good and easy to understand.
And the best part, he showed up for our tour right on the next day after his wedding.
Highly recommended.

My friends and I embarked on the Cu Chi Tunnels tour, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Our tour guide, Chien, was the highlight of our adventure. Fluent in English and incredibly knowledgeable, Chien answered all our questions with enthusiasm and made the tour feel very personal and smooth.Navigating through the tunnels was a unique and immersive experience, perfectly complemented by Chien's insights and stories that brought history to life. For those looking for an extra thrill, the shooting range is a must-try. Firing historical weapons like the M16 and AK47 in such authentic surroundings was exhilarating and added a whole new level of authenticity to the experience.I highly recommend going on this tour with Chien if you're looking for a tour guide who can provide a personal touch and ensure a seamless experience. It’s a perfect blend of adventure, history, and personal storytelling.
