Overview

About

Explore the lesser-known Ben Duoc Cu Chi Tunnels on a 1/2-day tour.

What you'll do

We always prioritize our clients' experience. Our Cu Chi Tunnels tour is designed for small groups of up to 10 guests. We spend most of the time at Ben Duoc Tunnels, which is known for its less-crowded and more authentic experience.

During the tour, you'll have the opportunity to crawl inside the tunnels and taste locally grown Viet Cong food, such as tapioca, next to the tunnels. You'll also witness the propaganda of Viet Cong soldiers in Tan Phu Trung Ward and experience the underground Hoang Cam kitchen.

The highlight of the tour is when you can experience crawling into the Tunnels to feel what it was like during the war.

Stop: 3 hours ·Admission includedThe admission fee is included in the tour package at no extra cost.

The Cu Chi Tunnels, located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, were an extensive network of underground tunnels that served as a critical strategic location during the Vietnam War. Constructed over several years, the tunnels spanned more than 250 kilometers and were made up of multiple layers, including living quarters, kitchens, meeting rooms, hospitals, and even schools. The tunnels were dug by hand, using rudimentary tools such as shovels, hoes, and picks, and the workers would remove the soil from the tunnels and conceal it in nearby fields to avoid detection. Navigating through the Cu Chi Tunnels was a complex task, requiring specialized knowledge and training. The tunnels were narrow, with a height of only a few feet, and were often filled with traps and obstacles, such as spike pits and hidden doors. The Viet Cong soldiers were trained to move silently and quickly through the tunnels, using their knowledge of the terrain to avoid detection.Read moreMore about Ben Duoc tunnel complex
