Explore the Cu Chi Tunnels on a guided half-day tour from Ho Chi Minh City

Itinerary

Escape the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City and journey into one of Vietnam’s most iconic wartime sites on this guided half-day tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels.

Travel by air-conditioned bus through the countryside as your guide shares stories about the Vietnam War and the role of Cu Chi as a stronghold of resistance. Upon arrival, explore a preserved section of the underground tunnel system once used for shelter, supply routes, and strategic operations.

See hidden trapdoors, underground bunkers, makeshift hospitals, tool workshops, and kitchens. Hear vivid firsthand accounts from your local guide that bring the site to life. For those feeling adventurous, you may choose to crawl through a short reconstructed tunnel section to experience the conditions of wartime survival (optional).

You’ll also view displays of weapons and booby traps and learn how ingenuity and resilience helped fighters live and operate underground for long periods.

Choose your departure time:

Morning Tour (Approx. 7:30 AM – 2:30 PM) – Explore early and return with your afternoon free

Afternoon Tour (Approx. 12:30 PM – 7:30 PM) – A great option for late starters or flexible schedules

Choose your tour style:

Standard Group (up to 35 pax): Best value and sociable group experience

Small Group (max 20 pax): A more personal experience with closer interaction with your guide

VIP Small Group – Luxury Limousine (up to 10 pax): Travel in a spacious Dcar limousine with extra comfort, faster transfers, and a quieter, more premium journey.

Private Tour: Your own vehicle, your own guide, and full flexibility in pacing and questions

This half-day experience is ideal for travelers seeking a respectful, informative, and accessible introduction to Vietnam’s wartime history — without committing to a full-day schedule.

Round-trip transportation is included for a seamless and comfortable experience.
