Explore Cu Chi Tunnels Half day tour
Overview

Mobile ticket
Our local guide will show you a full view of Cu Chi – the dead land in the past but turning brighter and peaceful presently. Cu Chi tunnels are well-known for its architectural structure with the complex network of over 250 km long. The tunnel system was created for hiding, safe living and fighting the enemy during Vietnam – American War.
We all understand one of the reasons why many worldwide travelers come to Vietnam for searching how VC soldiers survived during the bloody cruelty of French & American war with a scary slogan “kill anything that moves”. Tourists can now visit portions of the Cu Chi Tunnels, crawl through some of the safer areas of the tunnels, view command centers and booby traps, fire an AK-47 rifle on a firing range and even eat a meal featuring typical foods that soldiers living in the tunnels would have eaten. Besides, Private Cu Chi Tunnels Tour also includes a stop at a spontaneous local market to enjoy fresh tropical fruits.

Amazing tour to Cu Chi Tunnels with Linh Link – Highly Recommend!

5.00We had an incredible time visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels, and it was all thanks to our wonderful young guide, Linh Link. From the very beginning of the tour, her organization was absolutely flawless. Everything was perfectly timed and smoothly executed. Linh Link is a fantastic "psychologist" when it comes to guiding people. Right at the start, she managed to connect a whole group of strangers from completely different countries. She had us all introduce ourselves—who we are and where we come from—which immediately broke the ice and turned a group of tourists into a friendly team. Our first stop was the Handicrafts ART factory, which was a deeply moving and beautiful experience. Linh Link introduced us to the incredibly talented artists and explained the meticulous process behind their stunning artwork made from eggshells and seashells. It was a wonderful and thoughtful addition to the itinerary. From the moment we arrived at the Cu Chi Tunnels, she shared all the historical facts in such an engaging and interesting way. In her storytelling, you can truly feel her immense love for her homeland and her people at every single moment. It is beautiful to see her deep respect for the sacrifices her ancestors made so that today's generations can live in freedom and peace. If everyone spoke and lived with the same values that young Linh lives by, the world would be a much better place! We truly hope to have the opportunity to visit Vietnam again in the future to show our children the beauty of this country and the warmth and hospitality of the lovely Vietnamese people. Thank you, Linh Link, for being such an inspirational and amazing guide!

5.00It was my very first time in Saigon and was so glad to have Jacky Hieu as our tour guide. My friends and I had a wonderful private tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta. Jacky Hieu was very informative and answered our questions. I would highly recommend him as your tour guide.
