About

Explore the lesser-known Cu Chi Tunnels on this half-day tour.

What you'll do

At Joy Journeys, we prioritize our clients' experiences. Our Cu Chi Tunnels tour is designed to provide a unique and authentic experience.

Our small group of up to 10 guests will explore the Ben Duoc Tunnels, which are less crowded and offer a more authentic experience.

During the tour, you'll have the opportunity to witness the war history of Vietnam by exploring the underground Cu Chi Tunnels. You'll see the booby traps used during the war and explore the ex-US Army tank from the Vietnam War.

Additionally, you'll have the chance to taste the locally grown Viet Cong food, tapioca, next to the tunnels. You'll also witness the propaganda of Viet Cong soldiers in Tan Phu Trung Ward.

The highlight of the tour is when you can experience crawling into the Tunnels to feel what it was like during the war. This unique and authentic experience will leave you with a deeper understanding of the war history of Vietnam.

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
