Half-day Cu Chi Tunnels guided tour from Ho Chi Minh City (618297)

What you can expect

Discover the Cu Chi Tunnels and their specially constructed living areas with kitchens, bedrooms, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals and command centers helping whoever lived inside the tunnels meet their basic needs.

Start the excursion by driving for one-and-a-half hours to reach the Cu Chi Tunnels. Upon arrival, you'll watch an informative documentary film and enter the underground town. You'll see many hidden trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels, and you'll learn more about the handmade weapons and traps produced here. Visit a rice paper workshop, and, with a small surcharge, you can try to shoot with a AK47 or a MK16 rifle in a strictly supervised area.

• At the end, taste a special tea and eat tapioca, the guerilla's food during the war.
