Cu Chi Tunnels Guided Tour - Private

Your experience

Step into Vietnam’s wartime past on a private half-day guided tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels, an underground stronghold used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War.

Getting started

Set off from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City in a private vehicle with your English-speaking guide. Enjoy a scenic 90-minute drive to the Cu Chi Tunnels site.

What to expect

Historical introduction

Begin with a short documentary that traces the origins, construction, and wartime significance of the tunnels.

Tunnel exploration

Spend about 2 hours on-site exploring key areas—tunnel entrances, command centers, living quarters, kitchens, and escape routes.

Life underground

Discover how the Viet Cong survived underground with hidden wells, makeshift hospitals, and cleverly camouflaged structures designed to outsmart bombings.

Trap demonstrations

Witness live demonstrations of booby traps and hear compelling stories of guerrilla tactics.

Wrapping up

End your visit with a traditional cassava and tea tasting. You can also visit the on-site shooting range (optional, at an additional cost) before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City in your private transport
