Itinerary
Cu Chi Tunnels
The tunnels are a great destination located 70 km from the Ho Chi Minh City Center to the Northwest. Cu Chi was known as the “area of steel” in the war time, and the tunnel systems were over 200km, which was considered the unbreakable underground village in the Vietnam-American war. It is legendary for its network of tunnels and is a popular destination for both Vietnamese and foreign visitors.
Ben Dinh Tunnels
Upon arrival, before exploring the tunnels, you will have some short introduction followed by introductory video about how the tunnels were constructed and how the people survived in the harsh conditions of war time. Then, spend your time to explore the remaining area and tunnel systems which included the special constructed living areas with kitchens, bedrooms side by side with other martial facilities like storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers helping whoever lives inside the tunnels meet their basic needs. Besides, there are also many hidden trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels for security purposes during the war. Afterward, special tea and cassava (guerilla’s food during the war) will be served. Break time for relax or time for those who want to try the real shooting gun (The shooting fee is self-paid and only suitable for adults). Return to Saigon. End trip.

Experience into the war
The bus and the guide are pretty nice. The guide gave us lots of information about how the soldiers survived during the war. The tunnels gave us a strong memories of the war (though it’s just the topic of the tour🤣)

Great tour!
The tour itself was truly amazing; our guide Jason provided an incredibly insightful explanation regarding the history of Vietnam, particularly focusing on the Vietnam War era. Visiting the Củ Chi tunnels also proved to be a fantastic and valuable experience, significantly enhancing our understanding of how the war unfolded and was conducted. 100% recommended.

Authentic Guzhi with a perfect experience
Bella's (Cuihan's) Chinese explanation is very clear. The experience in the ancient tunnel was full of authenticity, personally feeling the hardship of crawling through the tunnel. But it's best to wear sneakers and a top and pants because you will be in contact with mud and climbing tunnels.

Gu Zhi's underground path and guide Bella were great
Thank you very much, Bella, for being such a meticulous guide. Your explanations were also very detailed, and the Chinese communication was seamless. You introduced us to the authentic history of Ho Chi Minh City. I recommend everyone come to Ho Chi Minh City and take a tour.
