Cu Chi Tunnels Half-Day Tour from Ho Chi Minh Group Tour
Escape the hustle of Ho Chi Minh City and journey to Cu Chi Tunnels — an underground world once used by Vietnamese fighters during the war. Begin with a short documentary that sets the historical context, then walk along shaded jungle paths to explore hidden entrances, bunkers, bomb craters, and the iconic Hoang Cam kitchen.
Descend into a real section of the tunnels and experience what life was like underground — dark, narrow, and unforgettable. See wartime relics, trapdoors, and survival systems that reveal the resourcefulness of the past.
Taste boiled cassava with sesame salt — a typical meal of the era. If you’re feeling adventurous, visit the shooting range and try real wartime weapons (optional, extra fee).
