Cu Chi Tunnels, Ho Chi Minh City

This site is a great destination for family or friends outdoor activity, a bit of a drive out of city center, lots of things to see and learn. You can really spend a good half day walk around and explore or follow some random groups with tour guides, though I am not sure if there are English-speaking tour guide available but you can ask. I enjoy how many trees and plants this place have preserved. Definitely a short fun and interesting trip, with lots of things to see, and try some of the local food too. And make sure to bring mosquito repellent!

Important part of history when visiting Ho Chi Minh (Saigon)! Book a tour and take the easy ride out from the city and see the well arranged tour of the tunnels. You can learn about how they were made and used, as well as see them for yourself and walk/crawl through some. Facilities are of course available. Goes beyond just the tunnels and lets you learn about more than just the tunnels. Includes a gun range too if you want to shoot M16/AK47 and more, but completely voluntary. Well worth the visit.

Was okay to have seen it once. Walking through the tunnels and seeing how it was back then is impressive. But there is not much around it. The price, by the way, is 125,000 dong, tour guide is included but with moderate English and not much info, just leads you through the tunnels and explains every few meters what tigers or no idea. On the rest of the plant speaks as good as no one English. Caution at the shooting range, you may not hold the gun itself, is mounted in front, which takes the whole fun. Even with Google translate you do not get on here. A bit of a shame but well finally everyone must decide for themselves whether it is worth a full day with bus rides and in tunnel sightseeing. After the tunnel tour, you should explore the area yourself. There are far more places to see, but people usually wave it off and think that there are only the tunnels.

I recently visited the Cu Chi Tunnels and had the pleasure of being guided by an excellent local guide. From the moment we met, it was clear that our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the tunnels and the surrounding area. His ability to bring the history of the tunnels to life was truly impressive. Throughout the tour, our guide provided us with great insights into the complex network of tunnels, and the tactics used by the Viet Cong during the war. He was patient and took the time to answer all of our questions, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this local guide for anyone interested in visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels. His enthusiasm and knowledge made for an unforgettable experience and left us with a deeper appreciation for the history of the region.

This is a really extraordinary experience. A must have for someone that visits Vietnam. You will enjoy and see all the tunnels that were made first during the resistance against the French and then against the American. The local guides are very good, the trip from Ho Chi Minh takes more or less one hour and the whole visit Costa about 90$. In total it will take one morning, but it's really worth it. You can also fire with some guns like AK-47
