Know before you go

The Cu Chi Tunnels, which display the loyalty, wisdom, and creativity of Viet Cong soldiers during the struggle for Vietnam's independence, are among the most remarkable attractions in southern Vietnam. This connecting underground system took nearly 25 years to build. It included everything needed for the lives of local inhabitants: command centres, meeting rooms, kitchens, hospitals, factories, weapon storage, and more.
On this Cu Chi Tunnels tour, you will spend a day walking and exploring this vast underground network that once bustled with ten thousand commandos. You will have a chance to learn how these soldiers survived for many years while hiding undetected from the Americans, as well as the refined technique they used to disperse smoke while cooking. You will also be able to crawl through a section of the numerous and complex layered tunnels, which stretch for 121 kilometres. Surprisingly, this site is very different from the modern appearance of Vietnam today - a rapidly growing country where the inheritance of war is nearly forgotten.
