Description
Our tour offers a unique opportunity to witness the war history of Vietnam by exploring the underground Cu Chi Tunnels. 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. Additionally, you'll be able to crawl inside the tunnels of Cu Chi and taste the locally grown Viet Cong food, tapioca, next to the tunnels. Finally, you'll witness the propaganda of Viet Cong soldiers in Tan Phu Trung Ward and experience the underground Hoang Cam kitchen. The tour's highlight is when you can experience crawling into the Tunnels to feel what it was like during the war.
