Excursion privée d'une demi-journée dans les tunnels de Cu Chi
Description
À seulement 40 km (25 miles) au nord-ouest de Hô Chi Minh-Ville se trouve l’une des reliques les plus remarquables du Vietnam en temps de guerre : les tunnels de Cu Chi. Ce réseau souterrain massif s'étend sur plus de 250 km et reliait autrefois des quartiers de vie cachés, des cuisines, des salles de stockage, des usines d'armes, des hôpitaux de campagne et des centres de commandement. D'abord creusés à la main dans les années 1940 lors de la résistance contre les Français, les tunnels ont ensuite été agrandis dans les années 1960–70 lors de la guerre du Viêt Nam (également connue sous le nom de « guerre américaine »). Ils sont devenus une ville souterraine pleinement fonctionnelle, avec des trappes, des systèmes de ventilation et des voies d'approvisionnement utilisées par les forces révolutionnaires vietnamiennes. Lors de cette visite immersive, vous ramperez dans des passages étroits, découvrirez des bunkers cachés et entendrez des histoires incroyables de résilience et de survie. Il s’agit d’un voyage puissant dans le passé, qui offre un aperçu unique de la façon dont ces tunnels ont contribué à façonner la lutte pour l’indépendance du Vietnam.

Itinéraire
Après avoir rencontré votre guide, laissez les rues animées de Saigon à 1h30 de route du quartier de Cu Chi. Vous serez conduit à travers la campagne typique du sud du Vietnam. À l’arrivée, la visite commence par un court métrage documentaire avant de passer les trois prochaines heures à explorer la section des tunnels de Ben Dinh. Vous en apprendrez plus sur l'histoire, l'incroyable ténacité et l'ingéniosité des habitants de Cu Chi. Les voyageurs plus aventureux auront la possibilité de ramper dans les tunnels et de tirer quelques cartouches de fusils d’assaut AK-47 ou M-16 sur le champ de tir. Goûtez au tapioca bouilli traditionnel et au thé chaud avant de rentrer à Saigon.

Although there is a lot of driving it was interesting to watch the views change from city to country. The museum of the tunnels and history surrounding the area was very interesting and informative.
Dear Maria S, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you found the drive enjoyable and interesting as the scenery changed from the city to the countryside. It’s also great to hear that the tunnel museum and the historical background of the area were informative and worthwhile for you. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
first time in vietnam i really like to explore history, so i was advised to choose the cu chi tour. everything was beyond my expectations, i could see all the relics that the vietnamese army actually used during the war. i also tried to experience going inside the tunnels and shooting guns, to better understand their life during the war highlight for me was watching the documentary, it was really touching. the trip left me with a lot of emotions and beautiful memories, i rate 10/10 for the way they organized the tour
Dear Maps57278867387, Thank you so much for sharing your first experience in Vietnam with us! 🌿 We’re delighted the Cu Chi tour gave you such meaningful insights into the country’s history. From exploring the tunnels to watching the documentary, it’s wonderful to hear that each part left such a strong impression. Your 10/10 rating means the world to us — we hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable journeys in Vietnam!
We had a great afternoon exploring the tunnels with our guide, Tam. He was very knowledgeable and shared the history of the war. We stopped about halfway there at the most incredible handicapped handicraft workshop where Vietnamese artists create amazing masterpieces using shells and egg shells. These artists are most handicapped because of the result of the pesticides used during the war and the crops that grew after. It was also a good time for a restroom and snack break. At the tunnels, we had the opportunity to go into the tunnels themselves, shown how to use an entryway to conceal yourself, the variety of booby traps and even eat the tapioca that was the main diet of the Viet Cong while they were in the tunnels. There is an opportunity to shoot guns as well if you want. Be prepared for quite a long car ride even though the distance isn’t too far the traffic is astonishing. It was a great experience.
Dear Matthew_R, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re glad you had a great afternoon exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels with Tam – he’ll be happy to hear your kind words. The stop at the handicraft workshop is always an eye-opening experience, and it’s wonderful that you appreciated the incredible work of the artists there. The tunnels themselves are definitely unforgettable, and it sounds like you made the most of every part of the visit, from learning about the booby traps to tasting the tapioca. Yes, the traffic in and out of Saigon can be quite something, but we’re happy to hear it was worth it for you. Safe travels and we hope to welcome you back on another journey in Vietnam one day!
My partner and I came to Vietnam for the first time and experienced visiting Cu Chi. I was very impressed with the historical stories and inside the tunnels, the shooting was also great. I highly recommend the tour because everything was very thoughtful, transportation was comfortable, the guide told good stories, helping me have a new perspective on Vietnam and Vietnamese history. 10/10

The Tour was really interesting and gave us many Information about the history. Our guide Tam spoke perfect english and explained everything very well to us!
We booked this tour short notice (about 5 hours prior) and the team was very responsive and accommodating. The tour guide was a fountain of knowledge and sharing, with really interesting stories to share. Make sure you climb through the tunnels for a bit of a confronting experience. And ask for Roy as a guide - he was great.
Roy was our guide for the your - and took us on an amazing journey. His general knowledge was very impressive. We have learnt a lot about Vietnam’a history and culture. A must do - and do try to get Roy as your guide.
Our tour guide, Jun, gave us a very thorough history lesson on Vietnam during the drive to the tunnels & did a great job of explaining everything as we walked around the site. Really enjoyed his service & company.
Brilliant guide who was a wealth of information. Private and personalized and doing in the afternoon meant no crowds. The only way to do the tunnels.
