Cu Chi and Ben Duoc Tunnels Tour Offers Deep Insight into Vietnam’s Wartime History


Vietnam’s complex wartime history continues to draw global interest, particularly from travellers keen to understand the country’s role in the Second Indochina War. This guided experience offers an immersive journey into one of its most significant historical chapters through the Cu Chi tunnel system.


The Cu Chi Tunnels stand as a powerful example of ingenuity and resilience, showcasing how underground networks were used for shelter, transport, and survival during conflict. Visitors can explore sections of the tunnels and view historical displays that highlight wartime conditions and strategies.


A key highlight of the tour is the Ben Duoc tunnel site, located away from the more crowded sections of Cu Chi. This quieter location provides a more reflective atmosphere, allowing for a deeper and less commercialised understanding of the historical context.


The experience is enhanced by small-group guided tours led by knowledgeable staff who share detailed explanations and personal insights. With comfortable transportation included, the journey ensures a smooth and meaningful exploration of Vietnam’s wartime legacy.

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.

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)

I highly recommend buying your ticket directly at the entrance and hiring a local tour guide on-site. The guides there are very knowledgeable, they answered all my questions and didn’t push me into any commercial stops or detours. The visit itself took about 2 hours, and the travel time from Ho Chi Minh City to Cu Chi Tunnel is around 2–3 hours round trip. So it’s best to start your trip in the morning to make the most of your day.
