About this activity

- Experience crawling through narrow underground pathways and hideouts
- Witness ingenious booby traps and the Museum of Self-made Weapons
- Visit the National Defense Sports Shooting Range (optional firing)

- Comfortable round-trip transport through the scenic Vietnamese countryside
Leave the frantic energy of Ho Chi Minh City behind for a half-day exploration of the Cu Chi Tunnels, one of the most iconic historical sites in Southeast Asia. This "Seat-in-Coach" (SIC) group tour takes you deep into the heart of the Vietnamese countryside, where you will witness the transition from urban bustle to peaceful rice paddies and lush greenery. Upon arrival, you will step into the shoes of a Viet Cong fighter as you navigate a fraction of the immense 250-kilometer underground labyrinth that once served as a living city, complete with hospitals, sleeping quarters, and meeting rooms. Led by an expert guide, you will learn the incredible engineering secrets behind the tunnels, including the Hoang Cam smoke-less stove and the resilient soil capable of supporting 55-ton tanks. Beyond the tunnels, the experience offers a visceral look at wartime ingenuity through the Museum of Self-made Weapons and the Garment-factory Ammunition. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, the tour includes a visit to the National Defense Sports Shooting Range. Before returning to the city, enjoy a taste of history with a local tapioca recipe and a comforting bowl of traditional Pho, completing a journey that is as educational as it is exhilarating.

The transport out to the Cu Chi Tunnels was smooth and scenic, seeing the rice paddies was a nice contrast to the city. Crawling through a small part of the tunnels really gives you a feel for how cramped it must have been. The boiled tapioca snack was surprisingly good!
Seeing the actual bomb craters was sobering, and the traps they showed were clever. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Viet Cong's tactics.
Crawling through a small section of the tunnels was intense, makes you appreciate the history and ingenuity. The guide explained the Hoang Cam stove really well.
