Cu Chi Tunnels and War Remnant Museum Shore Excursion

TOUR OVERVIEW

Cu Chi Tunnels are part of a massive and elaborate tunnel system used during the Vietnam War. This place offered a reliable stronghold for Viet Cong soldiers during the wars against the French, mainly US soldiers. It comprises over 200km of underground tunnels with booby traps, 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. Our trip will include visiting the war remnant museum, where several war-related exhibitions are well displayed.
