Highlights
  • Cu Chi Tunnels - We’ll begin by picking you up from your place of stay and then proceed to the Ben Dinh tunnel entrance. This entry point was heavily utilized during the Vietnamese Congress’s 1968 Tet Offensive. Presently, you can observe reconstructed booby traps, living areas, and military quarters that offer a sense of the wartime conditions.

We will be accompanied by a war veteran who will serve as our guide, providing in-depth narratives and insights into the Cu Chi Tunnels that were excavated by the Vietnamese as a defensive measure against American forces. These tunnels form an extensive subterranean network that was established during the conflict with the French, serving not only as a hiding spot but also as a means of communication among troops.

Our journey will take us through the maze of tunnels, where we will gain knowledge about the significance and history of this location while we navigate and inspect the subterranean corridors.

  • Note: Our beloved Vietnamese war veteran may skip some tour days to rest and recharge due to old age and health issues. The family of Phan Thi Kim Phuc, known as Napalm Girl, will fill his shoes when he is unavailable. Be awe-inspired by their testimonies about Phuc surviving a napalm bomb attack where she was famously photographed fleeing her village naked at nine years old – arguably one of the crucial moments captured during the Vietnam War.

Interesting! - One of the most interactive tours I've been on! Not only do you get to speak to a literal war veteran, you get to go through the tunnels the Vietnamese built to survive. We learned so much from Alex our guide and would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels.
