Joy Journeys Offers Intimate Cu Chi Tunnels Experience at Ben Duoc Site


A small-group travel experience operated by Joy Journeys is offering visitors a more personalised exploration of the Cu Chi Tunnels, with tours limited to a maximum of 10 guests. The itinerary focuses on the less-crowded Ben Duoc Tunnels, providing a quieter and more authentic alternative to the busier sections of the historic site.


Guided by expert storytellers, visitors are taken through the underground network to learn about the resilience and ingenuity of Viet Cong soldiers during the Vietnam War. The experience emphasizes historical depth, allowing guests to better understand the significance of the tunnels beyond their physical structure.


The tour includes interactive elements such as viewing original wartime booby traps, observing an ex-US Army tank, and tasting traditional tapioca, a staple food once relied upon in the tunnels. Guests also explore the Hoang Cam kitchen and nearby areas where wartime propaganda displays provide additional historical context.


A highlight of the experience is the opportunity to crawl through sections of the tunnels, offering a direct sense of the confined conditions faced during wartime. The journey provides a rare and immersive perspective on Vietnam’s history, combining education, reflection, and hands-on exploration.

Very well explained tunnel systems that you can enter. Of course, there are a few tourists who come here by bus, but it's really manageable. We were guided in a small group of about 10 people.

We learned about Vietnam spirit and how the tunnels support their resistance. The jungle was hot so wear appropriate clothing. We had Ken as a tour guide, he was super fun and knowledgeable!

Cu Chi tunnels Ben Duoc tour was a great experience. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the day. It far exceeded our expectations from the luxury van to the lunch (which was part of our tour package) and finally the awesome tour of Cu Chi Ben Duoc. This location was perfect for our group as it wasn't busy and we had time and space to explore without other tourists. We were able to do 3 sections of the tunnel at our own pace without anyone else around. Great thing is you can go as far as you like or can manage. Starts to get harder the further you go so you may end up crawling out the last tunnel like me 😂 For smaller people it's a breeze to get through. Highly recommend getting private VIP service like we did through EVT in Ho Chi Minh. With them you get the choice of buses (we chose limo bus) and lunch package which is a quiet location along the Saigon river. Cost us about $75 pp which included lunch, entry and transport with tour guide (Ngoc Duc) who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Location is much better than the busier Ben Dinh which is a little closer but has a lot more tourists. Try both if you can but if you prefer a quieter more private experience then Ben Duoc is the better option. It's over a 2 hour journey each way so comfortable transport is recommended. Also maybe take a spare top for the trip home as you may be completely saturated from sweat after exiting the tunnels (or you can buy a t-shirt from the gift shop as we did. Go for 2 sizes up for a better fit)
