Pham was absolutely amazing. She’s so knowledgeable and fun. We only spent 6 hours with her on the tour but wished we could’ve done more tours with her! 5*s :)

I really had an enjoyable and educational experience with Tommy and Truong. The transportation to the Cu Chi Tunnel was smooth. Both are extremely friendly. Tommy is a very insightful guide. His explanation of the history and demonstration was clear and informative. He received questions and answered them well. He also made me laugh. I highly recommend both Tommy and Truong.

After 1.5 hours ride. We arrive at the tunnels where you will: watch a short documentary film that takes you to the past with an introduction of the Tunnels. You can crawl distances through the tunnels that were used by the guerrilla fighters during the War. You may see kitchens, living quarters, hospitals among other things. Learn about how different types of traps were created and set up and learn how the ingenious Viet Cong soldiers made them.

Imagine this peaceful place back when it was a "Free Target Zone" and suffered great destruction and damage due to bombings. You also get a chance to safely fire the war guns.
