Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour with Shooting Range
Description
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.

Great tour with Cong in Cu Chi Tunnel. Very interesting for people who like history. Must do if visiting Vietnam.
I am fully satisfied. With my guide Mr Happy . Thanks.
Fantastic visit from start to finish. Cong our guide was a source of great knowledge even on the trip to Cu Chi. The detailed knowledge of Cong on the Cu Chi tunnels was of the highest level and the support he provided in navigating the site was extremely professional and personal so we learned a lot. Highly recommended and great value for money.
★★★★★ We had a fantastic time on the Cu Chi Tunnels tour with Leo! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humour, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He explained the history in an interesting and easy-to-understand way and shared lots of great local insights and stories. Leo also went above and beyond by taking photos of us throughout the tour and sharing them with us afterwards, which was such a lovely touch and gave us some great memories to take home. The tour was well organised, informative, fun, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend this tour and especially recommend having Leo as your guide! 🇻🇳📸 Driver was also great!
