What To Expect
Ho Chi Minh City
Escape the bustle of Ho Chi Minh City and head straight to the countryside. Unlike standard big-bus tours, our Small Group van navigates the traffic faster, getting you to the site before the massive crowds arrive (for the morning slot). Watch the cityscape fade into rice paddies and rubber plantations. Your guide will provide an introduction to the Vietnam War (American War) context, setting the scene for what you are about to witness.
Ben Duoc tunnel complex
Upon arrival, watch a short documentary (a relic from the war era) before heading into the jungle. - Discover how a 200km underground web was built using simple tools. - See the ingenious and terrifying traps used during the conflict. - Experience the claustrophobic reality of tunnel life by crawling through a safe section of the tunnel (widened for visitors). Note: Crawling is optional; you can walk above ground if you prefer. For those interested in military history, there is an opportunity to fire real weapons (AK-47 or M16) at the National Defense Sports Shooting Range (bullets are at your own expense). Before leaving, sit down to taste boiled tapioca with sesame salt and hot pandan tea—the actual diet that sustained the Viet Cong fighters in the tunnels.

5.00John was an excellent tour guide. He shared a lot of interesting knowledge about Vietnam, including its culture, history, and local way of life, which made the tour both informative and enjoyable. He was very friendly, humorous, and always kept the group engaged with his stories and positive energy. Thanks to John, the experience was memorable and much more meaningful. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Vietnam.

5.005-star review! I joined the Cu Chi Tunnels tour in Vietnam with our amazing guide Jack, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips ever. Jack has profound knowledge of the local wartime history, explained every tunnel, trap and guerrilla story in fluent. He was super thoughtful, helped us take photos and reminded us of safety tips while crawling through the narrow tunnels. This tour was educational and immersive all thanks to Jack’s great service. Highly recommend booking him as your guide if you visit Cu Chi Tunnels!
