Excellent small group tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels

James_R, Jun 2026
I would recommend this tour to anybody interested in visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels. I was picked up on time at my hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, along with the other people who had booked the tour. We were in a clean, air conditioned minivan which was comfortable. We were shown a lacquer art factory which provides employment to people who have physical limitations. We were then taken to a firing range where we got the opportunity to fire an AK47 assault rifle, before going to the tunnels. We were lead around the various tunnels which were used by the Vietnamese soldiers during the war and got to crawl through each one, to get an idea of what they had to endure. We got to sample some boiled tapioca and buy a cool drink since we were sweating after going through the tunnels, then we were shown the various traps which were used against the enemy soldiers. On our way back to HCMC we stopped at a nice open air restaurant for lunch which had Pho and Spring Rolls on the menu. Our tour guide Tommy was a lovely guy, well organised and informative. He sent a WhatsApp message the day before suggesting that we pack an umbrella, insect repellant and suitable clothing for crawling through the tunnels. The tour was valued for money, but not rushed.

Fun and informative experience

Fun and informative experience. The tunnels are very low and narrow. Option to exit at every 20 metres. Going into the actual tunnels is not for everyone but there are many interesting activities on site if do not wish to enter the tunnels.

Great experience

Stephanie_M, Nov 2024
Great guide, interesting experience, and well worth the half-day if you're limited on time, like I was.

Great Snapshot into History

Joan_L, Oct 2024
Tommy was our tour guide and he was great! Super friendly and very knowledgeable. It was really interesting seeing a piece of history that happened so recently.

Small Group Exceptional

Our guide Safa was great ! He provided a lot of information on the history of the tunnels and interacted in very good English. Our driver was also great expertly navigating the traffic. A great day was had.
