TOUR OVERVIEW
Cu Chi Tunnels are part of a massive and elaborate tunnel system used during the Vietnam War. This place offers a reliable stronghold for Viet Cong soldiers during the wars against the French and mainly the US soldiers. It comprises more than 200km of underground tunnels with booby traps and trapdoors, living areas, kitchens, storage facilities, hospitals, and command centers. By walking and crawling through the tunnels, you will get a sense of the world of guerrilla warfare in the incredible Cu Chi tunnels and gain insight into the tenacity and bravery of the soldiers.
