Review Cu Chi Tunnels Half Day Tour

 (7.1k)

  

Attend the most exciting history lesson ever on a Củ Chi Tunnels Tour! Learn about Vietnam's guerilla war by climbing into the underground tunnels that used to be rigged with booby traps, which played a crucial part in the fight. Built by local fighters during the Indochina conflict, the Cu Chi tunnels served as a base for the Viet Cong, the National Liberation Front. It included almost everything needed for the life of the Viet Cong, where the local soldiers and residents used to eat, sleep, work, cook and even go to school. Started in 1948 as a hiding place from French air attacks, by 1965, the tunnel was estimated to consist of an astounding 200km of tunnels within a larger tunnel system. Have an unforgettable experience as you explore the underground tunnels and get to know what life was like for the Viet Cong soldiers!

We booked the Join-In Small Group Cu Chi Tunnels Half Day Tour via Klook for 2, including hotel pickup and return transportation. The operator contacted us a day before to confirm the arrangements, and pickup was punctual.

Our guide, Ms Thuyen, was knowledgeable and shared many interesting information about the Vietnam War and the history of the Cu Chi Tunnels. The 13-seater van had only 7 tourists, so there was plenty of space. Traffic was heavy, taking around 3 hours to the place, with a short stop at a handicraft centre along the way.

The Cu Chi Tunnels were interesting and informative. We explored several tunnel sections, tried boiled cassava, and learnt about how the tunnels were used during the war. The guide also gave clear safety advice for those uncomfortable with confined spaces.

Ms Thuyen's constantly checked on everyone's comfort, recommended places to visit and eat in Ho Chi Minh City, and never hard-sold any additional activities or purchases.

Our tour guide was Vi and she was very lovely and courteous! I really appreciate her looking out for my mom all throughout the trip. Also learned more about the history of the vietnam war and how the Vietnamese were so clever with their strategies. I loved the challenge of going inside the bunkers and getting to experience how the people get and walk inside. Would highly recommend this activity!

Yen was a great guide, he was knowledgeable and communicated very well in good english. He shared the history of the vietnam war and the cu chi tunnels. Pick up from hotel was prompt and fuss free. There was a toilet break and short breakfast break and coffee for those who want.. Here we also visited the making of the laquer products. At cu chi tunnels, we had the chance to go into the tunnels and learnt of the ingeunuity of the vietnamese and the various traps they built.

"It was a blast because of all the activities, like shooting ranges, crawling through the tunnels, and even tasting the cassava that soldiers used to eat during the war. Having Heidi as our guide made it even better—she's so knowledgeable and her jokes kept the energy high the whole time."

Our trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels took around 2 hours from the city. Before arriving, we stopped at a handicapped handicraft (opened since 1976) where we could see how handmade products were created by artisan (families of the victim war). It was interesting to watch the whole process, although the products were a little expensive compared to other shops (you definitely can find them in other stores as well).

The best part of the tour was definitely our guide, Ms. Heidi. She was very informative, fun, and explained the history of the Vietnam War and Cu Chi Tunnels in a very engaging way. She also shared jokes throughout the journey, making the long ride enjoyable, and even helped us take photos during the trip.

Overall, it was a memorable and educational experience. Highly recommended for first-timers visiting Vietnam, and we would definitely recommend Ms. Heidi to our friends too!

The two-hour journey includes a two-hour tour and a two-hour return trip to the city. Towards the tunns, there is a stop at the Disability Workshop, where visitors can purchase items and meet individuals affected by Agent Orange. The experience is highly interesting, educational, and a historical part of Vietnam, especially within the Ho Chi Minh City context. Shoutout to Jason the guide. You also get a bottle of water.

Had an amazingly fun time w/ our small group. Vincent was the perfect host - incredibly knowledgeable & provided invaluable historically information about Saigon & Cu Chi tunnels. We had a small group of 6 people. The car was super clean & comfortable. They provided water, towelettes - the car had built in massage chairs & wireless phone charger. Our first stop was the shooting range. (they accept cc) My son had a great time even though it went by fast. We headed to the tunnels. There are a bunch of destroyed decommissioned military vehicles & weapons in front you can climb touch & take pictures of. That was pretty cool. We then headed to the tunnel. Vincent explained all the facinating intricacies the entire time. He guided us through the tunnels which was an experience. It was very hot & humid so my advice is to pack light & bring bug spray. There’s a break stop to eat tapioca, wash hands, purchase drinks/snacks. All in all it was a great time. Highly recommend.
