A DAY TO CU CHI TUNNEL & HO CHI MINH CITY

4.5/5
4.5/5

If you're ever in Vietnam, Cu Chi tunnel tour is a must. It's a fantastic experience that travel bloggers rave about. The Cu Chi tunnels are a vast network of underground tunnels used by the Viet Cong during the war. They were ingenious and allowed the VC to move around undetected and launch surprise attacks. Today, the tunnels have been turned into tourist attractions, and you can explore them yourself.

Recent travel review

Our kind and funny guide John did a really good job during our tour, teaching us his story and a lot of historical facts about the Vietnam war. We enjoyed the tour very much which was a true adventure for the whole group that size was still enjoyable. The booking of the tour went very smooth and quickly. Payable via paypal or credit card. The Cu Chi tunnel area is well structured and interesting to explore. For those who dare to shoot one of the old war guns is free to buy from up to 10 bullets for the desired rifle. Would recommend it anytime to everyone that wants to dive deep into the Vietnamese history. Best regards. – Mr. Rambo
