Full description
Discover the area which resides at the end of the Ho Chi Minh Trail and served as the base from where Vietnamese guerilla soldier attacked Saigon. Learn about how the fighters of Cu Chi took the war underground by developing a network of tunnels that stretched as far as Cambodia, which included: meeting rooms, kitchens and ventilation systems. These tunnels served as an effective network for engaging in guerrilla warfare against U.S troops. Don’t miss this short, exciting trip through this labyrinth of interlaced tunnels. Choose how you want to experience it — in a smaller, larger, or private group. See green paddy fields, local farmers and buffaloes along the road to the tunnels for an insight into Vietnamese agriculture.

long bus ride but well worth seeing the tunnels if you stay long in Vietnam. we stopped on the way there at a factory for people disabled by agent orange worked because you could buy paintings, bowls and other souvenirs. I didn't know about that. the guided tour at the tunnels was good but maybe a bit stressful. would have liked more time. with very good at the tunnels. exciting and interactive! fun to try crawling in the tunnels. very exciting and educational.

Our guide was Lam and our driver was Mr T. From the beginning, Lam already got in touch with us to reconfirm we would be on time at the office for the pick up. On the way to the destination, he was very entertaining in introducing the group to one another, as well as making sure there was affinity with him as well. He was also entertaining in explaining everything at the tunnels, not simple and monotonous compared to other guides. His English is very understandable as well, no strong accent. He is the best guide we have had during our trip in Vietnam. On the bus way back to the city we also got some crackers.

Nim is king! No honestly, we never experienced a tourguide thats this passionate and professional about his job. Superb explaining, humorous style and one can really feel his happieness when guiding through the Cu Chi Tunnels. He even noticed someone of our big group is missing and proceeded to search for him. Really wholesome and responsible! Overall we are super satisfied and would definitely bool again if Nim is coming! Greetings from Julian, Matthias and Raffael from Italy!
