Highlights
Our tour offers a unique opportunity to witness the war history of Vietnam by exploring the underground Cu Chi Tunnels and having a conversation with the Vietnamese War Veteran at the tunnels. You will also have the chance to engage with him and ask any questions you may have. Additionally, you’ll have the chance to see the booby traps used during the war and explore the ex-US Army tank from the Vietnam War by touching it; to crawl inside the tunnels of Cu Chi and taste the locally grown Viet Cong food - tapioca. The highlight is crawling into the Tunnels to feel what it was like the VietCong soldiers in the war time. Important Note: The visit to either Ben Dinh or Ben Duoc will depend on the Veteran’s health and availability, and the location cannot be selected in advance. To ensure your convenience and the possibility of the tour, please contact us to check availability before making a booking.

Itinerary
Guests will be picked up from the accommodation in District 1, District 3 and District 4 before the tour start. The pickup usually takes around 30 minutes. After the pickup, you will head to Cu Chi to discover the Tunnels history.
The Cu Chi Tunnels, located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, were an extensive network of underground tunnels that served as a critical strategic location during the Vietnam War. Constructed over several years, the tunnels spanned more than 250 kilometers and were made up of multiple layers, including living quarters, kitchens, meeting rooms, hospitals, and even schools. The tunnels were dug by hand, using rudimentary tools such as shovels, hoes, and picks, and the workers would remove the soil from the tunnels and conceal it in nearby fields to avoid detection.
The tour will ends back to your Hotel/Airbnb in Ho Chi Minh City. Traveler who wish to be dropped off up the airport, please inform us anytime possible.
