The Tunnels of Cu Chi,
Ho Chi Minh City
Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City and The South
Info : The Tunnels of Cu Chi
Journey out of the city centre to the Cu Chi regions, where you will visit the vast underground network of tunnels built first as a defence against the French, and later expanded during the American war. It was from here that the North Vietnamese waged their guerilla warfare and you can marvel at their ingenuity and resilience. See secret trapdoors, underground kitchens, living areas and meeting rooms. The more adventurous may explore the deeper second, and even third level tunnels. For those preferring to remain above ground, there is ample opportunity to view excavated areas from above. Your guide will advise you of the length and level of difficulty of each tunnel before entering - some are easily accessed by stairs. We recommend good walking shoes and sun protection for this tour and advise you may get a little dirty!
An essential tour for any visitors to Ho Chi Minh.
Please note that this tour can be combined with another to make a full day tour.
