Description

Join us as we embark on a tour to learn the secrets of the Vietnam War by visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels, emblematic of one of the key conflicts of the mid-20th century.

Cu Chi Tunnels Tour Itinerary

Having picked you up from your accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City, we'll head to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, about an hour's drive away.

What strategies did the Vietcong use during the war in Vietnam? Where did they hide from US soldiers? How did they communicate messages and send supplies? The answers to many of these questions are found at Cu Chi, in the enormous network of underground passageways that lies not just around Ho Chi Minh but under much of the country.

As you explore the tunnels, you'll see terrifying traps used to capture the enemy. They've been deactivated now, but... we still wouldn't like to get too close! Next to the entrance to the tunnels, there's a further exhibit of equipment left over from the war, including an old tank.

After experiencing this unforgettable trip through history, you'll be returned to your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.

Shooting Practice

For the most daring among you, there is the opportunity to shoot real ammunition using one of the AK 47s that the Viet Cong used, or an M16 rifle used by the Americans.

When we leave the tunnels, we'll reach the trenches where you can enjoy your target practice experience (not included, bullets are approximately €2.30 each).

Hotel Pickup

This activity only includes pickup and drop-off from hotels in the center of District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City (in the following areas: Ben Thanh, Nguyen Thai Binh, and Pham Ngu Lao).

In this case, the local provider will specify the time for your pickup at this point.
