Description

Have you heard of soldiers living and fighting underground? Have you heard how soldiers live, dig wells, cook underground? If you are curious about it, let's take you there and tell you about a match that lasted more than 20 years in Cu Chi district, Ho Chi Minh city. This is a historical tour of the great Cu Chi tunnels where fierce battles between Vietnam and America took place. You will hear about the formation of tunnels, how to dig, why people should choose to live in tunnels? In more than 20 years of people's war, how are people's activities? In addition, you will learn about the types of traps used by the Vietnamese for the enemy, as well as the modern equipment sent by the enemy to raid this land. Besides, you will also have the opportunity to experience shooting with the guns that the old soldiers used on the battlefield (self-sufficient).

A Great Experience at Cu Chi Tunnels

I had an amazing time visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels, specifically the Ben Duoc area, which was less crowded and allowed for a more peaceful and immersive experience. Our tour operator, Vietnam Amazing Journeys, provided an excellent service. The van, which was a comfortable 16-seater, ensured a smooth and relaxed ride to the tunnels. Our guide, David, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He shared fascinating historical insights and made the experience both educational and enjoyable. The Ben Duoc area itself is rich in history, and being less touristy, it allowed for a more authentic and less rushed visit. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn about the history of the Vietnam War in a more intimate setting. Thanks to Vietnam Amazing Journeys and David for making this a memorable trip!

A Wonderful Experience at Cu Chi Tunnels Ben Duoc

I recently had a memorable visit to Cu Chi Tunnels Ben Duoc and I can’t wait to share this great experience. Our guide Mr. Joshua was a highlight of the trip. He was incredibly passionate and enthusiastic, delivering the historical commentary in such a lively and engaging way. His storytelling made me feel as if I was living through those historical moments. The transportation was very comfortable, we traveled in a 16-seater van, but there were only 10 of us, which made the journey feel relaxed and private. The air conditioning was excellent, and the driver was very careful, maintaining a safe and steady pace throughout the trip. What I also appreciated was that Cu Chi Tunnels Ben Duoc wasn’t overly crowded, so I could explore and learn more about the history at my own pace, without feeling rushed. The peaceful atmosphere and fresh air added to the overall enjoyable experience. I’m very satisfied with this trip and will definitely return in the future 👍👍👍
