Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour with Shooting Range
+16 photos
Our local guide will show you a full view of Cu Chi – the dead land in the past but turning brighter and peaceful presently. Cu Chi tunnels are well-known for its architectural structure with the complex network of over 250 km long. The tunnel system was created for hiding, safe living and fighting the enemy during Vietnam – American War. We all understand one of the reasons why many worldwide travelers come to Vietnam for searching how VC soldiers survived during the bloody cruelty of French & American war with a scary slogan “kill anything that moves”. Tourists can now visit portions of the Cu Chi Tunnels, crawl through some of the safer areas of the tunnels, view command centers and booby traps, fire an AK-47 rifle on a firing range and even eat a meal featuring typical foods that soldiers living in the tunnels would have eaten. Besides, Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour also includes a stop at a spontaneous local market to enjoy fresh tropical fruits.
