Additional Information

Are you familiar with the concept of troops residing and engaging in combat beneath the surface? Do you know about their survival techniques, their methods of digging wells and cooking deep down?

Join us on a journey of curiosity to enlighten you about continuous conflict spanning more than two decades in the Cu Chi region of Ho Chi Minh city.

This historic expedition takes you through the expansive Cu Chi tunnel network, the site of intense confrontations between Vietnam and the United States. Gain insights into the origin of these tunnels, understanding the processes of their creation and the reason people opted for subterranean habitation. Explore the many aspects of people’s lives during over two decades of conflict.

In addition, the tour will also illuminate the variety of traps laid out for the enemy by the Vietnamese, plus reveal the high-tech gear deployed by enemy forces to invade this territory.

Similar to the bravado of the old soldiers, you can get a close feel of the battlefield by shooting using replicas of the weapons that were once used (expenses to be covered by the participant).

Upon completion of this educational journey, participants are sure to have a deeper understanding of the significant chapter of Vietnamese history, specifically, the warfare in the Cu Chi tunnels.

Cu Chi tunnel tour with guide Joshua - We were brought on this tour by our guide, Joshua Tran who gave us one of the best tours we’ve ever had in our lives. Joshua is knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate and willing to help our every request. During the tour, he helped us to take really good pictures as well and explained all the different aspects of the tunnels accurately. He was a very entertaining guide as well, and even though after the tour we were all exhausted, Joshua was still very upbeat and enthusiastic. Tour was very interesting and learnt alot about the history of Vietnam Civil War and we saw how the people lived down in the tunnels. Very eye opening experience especially for youths, especially since you need to be relatively fit to be able to crawl through the smaller tunnels. 10/10 for learning about Vietnam history and an experience you can’t get anywhere else! Definitely 100% recommend to engage Joshua for a private tour, worth every single cent! Thank you Joshua for the tour and hope to see you again soon!

Great experience - Josh is an excellent guide and I would definitely recommend him. We did a full day tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Josh showed us around in the area and arranged transportation as well. He took the time to explain everything about the Vietnam war and the terrible things that have happened there. Josh has a broad knowledge of this and he could easily answer all our questions. He is a patience and friendly guy who speaks good English and is honest about the price. We are grateful to have met Josh. All the more since we have visited the Vinh Moc Tunnels as wel but in the absence of an English speaking guide or English information it remains unclear and there were still many unanswered questions. Beside this tour he helped us out arranging transportation to other parts of the country very wel.
