6 Hours Historical Tour in Cu Chi Tunnel with Free Snack
Description
This is a truly iconic tour for those who love the historical sights and the stories of the American-Vietnam war. Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels, you have a chance to witness its unique architecture and structure as well as understand why it plays an important role in Vietnam’s history.

The entrances to these tunnels were covered with a secret wooden door and camouflage leaves above. Its size is so small that only the Vietnamese could fit in.

Really good experience, to be honest Typhoon Honey did an amazing job as a guide and a fun day. For me it's a thing you must do, it's simple but interesting and a good way to understand the history and lifestyle at that time. 100% recommend and good price.
The cu chi tunnel trip was really great and memorable one. The trip advisor 'Typhoon Honey' took care me super cool and with great historical knowledge and he is such a exciting and funny too. Thanks for this trip.
Typhoon Honey was a very enthusiastic and insightful tour guide. Very knowledgeable and funny!
Typhoon Honey was a really good tour guide and really funny, had a lot of fun with my husband but the tunnel was really tight and made me nervous
Was really goof. Typhoon Honey very funny
The tour was fascinating, not just because of the history that could be touched and experienced but mostly because of our guide who constantly added his own childhood experiences to certain aspects of the tour and thereby made it even more relatable! I strongly advise this tour and company!
Amazing day. Pick up/drop off from hotel was seamless and our guide Bao was very pleasant, informative and answered all questions asked by the small group with personal insight. Throughout the tour, you gained a deeper appreciation for the Vietnamese people at that time, their struggle and utter resilience. The heat and the rain on the day added to the experience. Highly recommended but the tunnels are not for the claustrophobic!
The tour was great! Bao our tour guide was also amazing and knowledgeable, answered all our questions and was very sweet. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Very friendly guide, clear explanations, and a tour of the site with the guide's insights. A detour worth taking to better understand Vietnam if you are near Ho Chi Minh.
This was a great experience! Our guide Bao made the whole day extra interesting by telling us everything we needed to know! Any questions we had, he could answer, and told us alot more than we could have asked about ourselves. He was so sweet to my to teenagers as well, and made everyone in the party feel comfortable although it was a very diverse group. I was so scared before we went, to go into the tunnels, but the first part of them has been made bigger, and is only 20 meters, then you can get out again. I would highly recommend this tour with Bao as a guide!
