Customer Reviews
Cu Chi Tunnels is an extremely interesting and meaningful place to visit. There are two main sites, Bến Đình and Bến Dược, managed by Cu Chi and the central government (Sai Gon) respectively. While both sites share the same core tour content, such as the historical documentary film, explanations of tunnel structures, different room types, and the reasons the tunnels were built, the overall experience at each site has some differences. At both locations, the tour provides very detailed and vivid information about life underground. You can see how narrow and complex the tunnels are and even crawl through a short section yourself, which really helps you understand how challenging life was. The displays of traps, weapons, and manufacturing processes feel very real, giving a strong sense of how people lived, fought, and survived. Visitors can also try traditional wartime food such as boiled manioc with salt and sesame, and experience firing replica guns similar to those used during that period. At Bến Đình, as a Vietnamese visitor or if you understand Vietnamese at a high level, you only need to buy a normal entrance ticket. There are free guided tours in Vietnamese that run periodically. You just need to ask the staff at the entrance. There is no need to purchase an additional tour guide ticket. This surprised and impressed me quite a lot, as the explanations were detailed and well organized. At Bến Dược, guided tours are provided by default, so the experience feels more structured from the beginning. In addition to the main tunnel tour, Bến Dược offers deeper insight into civilian life before and during the war. One of the most impressive highlights is the large sand table display with lights, smoke effects, and storytelling, showing how the liberation zones were formed, how intense the bombings were, and what people had to endure. I also watched a 3D film that powerfully illustrated the impact of bombs on the land and on human lives. Bến Dược is also home to the Bến Dược Temple, a memorial dedicated to honoring the soldiers and civilians who sacrificed their lives in the resistance wars. Visiting the temple offers a quiet and reflective space to pay respect, read the names and stories of those who were lost, and better understand the human cost behind the history presented in the tunnels. It adds an important emotional and cultural dimension to the visit and helps complete the overall experience. Beyond the historical exhibitions, Bến Dược also has more interactive and recreational activities such as paintball shooting, swimming, and cultural performances, making it suitable for both education and hands on experiences. Overall, everything felt incredibly real and impactful right in front of my eyes. Củ Chi Tunnels is not just a historical site. It is a powerful reminder of resilience, creativity, and survival. I truly loved this place and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand an important part of Vietnam’s history.
If you in Vietnam must visit Cu Chi for experiencing the mind blowing war techniques against American. Vietnam is a country that truly captures the heart of anyone who visits. The people of Vietnam are among the most welcoming, humble, and kind-hearted individuals I have ever met. Their warmth and hospitality make visitors feel at home from the very first moment. Whether in the bustling streets of Hanoi or the peaceful villages along the Mekong Delta, there’s always a smile to greet you and a helping hand ready when needed. The culture of Vietnam is equally rich and inspiring—a perfect blend of tradition, resilience, and grace. Deeply rooted in family values, respect for elders, and community spirit, Vietnamese culture reflects a harmony between the past and the present. Festivals, music, and art beautifully showcase the nation’s history and pride, while its cuisine—fresh, flavorful, and balanced—perfectly mirrors the Vietnamese way of life: simple yet deeply satisfying. What stands out most is the people’s positive spirit and their ability to find joy and strength even in challenges. Their respect for nature, tradition, and human connection is truly admirable. Overall, Vietnam’s people and culture leave a lasting impression—a reminder that kindness, simplicity, and unity are the true essence of a beautiful life.
The tourist site does an excellent job of bringing history to life; the recreated scenes of the Củ Chi people during the war are so immersive they reminded me of those setups from Universal Studio. Entrance Fee is very cheap too about $2 $4. This’s a unique, hands-on way to understand the resilience of the people who lived here doing the war time... There are coconut juice and snacks half way people can purchase which is a plus. Minus 1 star because we pay extra fee for tour guy, expecting a private tour but it's actually a group tour.
