experience the life of a Vietnamese soldier 🧑🏭
#timetotravel
We booked a guided half day tour with the local operator Tnktravel.
Will definitely recommend booking a guided tour because you will be lost without explanations and travelling to Cu Chi Tunnel itself takes around 2 hours.
Given the name Cu Chi Tunnel, the main attraction is most definitely the tunnel. There are tunnels of different lengths for tourists to attempt, from 5 metre to 100 metre. I am personally not that big, and not generally claustrophobic, so I managed to go through the tunnel with no issues. But so be warned, if you are bigger and have joint issues, you might have difficult going through the tunnel because you have to be a constant squatting position!!
Thanks to our guide Patrick, as well as the interactive element of the Cu Chi Tunnel (walking through the tunnel, visiting the different bunkers and looking at the different traps Vietnamese soldiers used to set targeting the American soldiers), we learned so much about the history of the Vietnam war from the Vietnamese perspective and the intelligence and hard work of Vietnamese soldiers.

Discover underground village at Cu chi tunnels. Visitors will find it hard to imagine the destruction, damage & defoliation over this whole area, caused by bombing and mines. There is plenty of evidence of the fierce battle that took place here during the 1960s when Cu Chi was a "Free Target Zone".
it was an amazing trip. it was informative also. my friend and I learned a lot about the history of Vietnam. really recommend to those who want to visit Vietnam. refreshment also included..
Cu Chi Tunnels are located around ~ 1.5 h from the center of HCM. We did the tour on the same day with the Mekong River Delta and was a very nice combination. Try the shooting and go inside the tunnel, an amazing experience.
Very informative and historic place to visit, your guides were super friendly and knowledgeable.
Best excursion from Ho Chi Minh, recommend taking tours over trying to go there by yourself. The area can be covered under an hour and guides really explain each area clearly. Tunnels aren't suitable for the elderly or the plus size. Shooting Range costs are per clip and an AK 47 for instance is 600k minimum but one clip can be shared amongst two people. Must visit!
it's a Must to get immersed w how the viet war is being build!experience the "life of the viet solider" by going thru the tunnel.
