Description
Experience the world of the Cu Chi freedom fighters with a visit to their famous tunnel system. This network of over 200 km of tunnels became legendary during the 1960's when they played a vital part in the American War, allowing the Viet Cong to control a large rural area close to Ho Chi Minh City. In their heyday, the tunnels were functioning underground cities.

Great experience
What a great trip! Thao was our guide and is very engaging and knowledgeable. The conversation on the way to Cu Chi tunnels was very informative, we learned about a lot of the history of the area from many, many years ago to the Vietnam war. The tunnels themselves are very well presented with a natural flow and lots of practical remnants from when they were used. I would highly recommend a trip here.

Immersive and knowledgeable tour experience
Tan was the best guide, as a child of veterans he really knew his stuff. He was funny and knowledgeable. The tunnels was a sobering experience, and really thoughtfully curated by Intrepid. We went early to miss most of the crowds and with a smaller group so there was more time to ask questions. Highly recommend.
