Know before you book

  • Pick up Area (and/or Meeting Point): District 1 except for Tan Dinh Ward & Da Kao Ward, and District 3, only in Vo Thi Sau Ward & 6th Ward.
  • If you are not staying within the free pick-up areas, there is an additional cost of VND100-150K per way. Look for a guide wearing a TripGuru shirt or holding a TripGuru sign.
  • This tour is not suitable for people with mobility limitations, pregnant women, and children below 7 years old.
  • Our beloved Vietnamese war veteran may skip some tour days to rest and recharge due to old age and health issues. The family of Phan Thi Kim Phuc, known as Napalm Girl, will fill his shoes when he is unavailable.
  • Be awe-inspired by their testimonies about Phuc surviving a napalm bomb attack where she was famously photographed fleeing her village naked at nine years old, arguably one of the crucial moments captured during the Vietnam War.

What you can expect

Ho Chi Minh is an urban metropolis with an incredible wartime history. One of the most historic remnants of the war is the Cu Chi tunnels. If you want to learn more about and explore this historical place, join this half-day tour with a war veteran as your guide. For this tour, you can choose to go in the morning or in the afternoon.

We’ll start with a pick-up from your accommodation before heading to the Ben Dinh tunnel entrance. This entrance was used extensively during the 1968 Tet Offensive by the Vietnamese Congress. Today you’ll find replicas of booby traps, sleeping quarters, and barracks to give you a glimpse of the reality during the war.

We’ll also meet a war veteran who will act as our guide, giving detailed stories and explanations of the Cu Chi Tunnels that were dug by the Vietnamese as a way to protect themselves from the French offence. The tunnels are a large network of underground tunnels that were built during the war against the French. It was used not only as a means to hide but also to communicate with other soldiers.

We’ll explore the labyrinth of tunnels, learning about the history and importance of this site while viewing and exploring the underground passages. After a tour around the area, we’ll end up in the firing range with an option for you to fire a M16 or AK-47. Then we’ll head back to Ho Chi Minh and drop you off at your accommodation to end the day’s trip.
