A visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels offers a powerful and immersive journey into Vietnam’s wartime past, beginning with a short documentary that sets the stage for the experience. This exclusive video provides an overview of how the tunnels were constructed and used by the Viet Cong, shedding light on the immense challenges they faced and the innovative tactics they employed to survive. The film gives context to what visitors are about to explore and enhances appreciation for the tunnel complex’s historical significance.
As you step into the preserved site, you’ll get the rare opportunity to crawl through a section of the actual tunnels—an unforgettable way to grasp just how narrow and claustrophobic these underground passageways truly are. Throughout the site, you’ll also visit reconstructed bunkers, which served as meeting rooms, kitchens, hospitals, and weapons storage during the war. Each area reveals another layer of how the Viet Cong managed to live, strategize, and carry out operations while hidden beneath the jungle. Displays of deadly booby traps and a massive bomb crater left by American B-52 bombers further highlight the harsh realities of war.
To round out the experience, you’ll visit the Hoàng Cầm smokeless kitchen, an ingenious invention that allowed the Viet Cong to cook while minimizing visible smoke. This clever system was crucial for avoiding detection. You’ll also get a taste of tapioca—one of the staple foods the guerrilla fighters relied on for sustenance. These final touches bring authenticity and a human dimension to the tour, making it not just informative but also deeply moving.

The Củ Chi Tunnels, located near Ho Chi Minh City, are an extensive underground network used by Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War. Stretching over 200 kilometers, these tunnels served as hiding spots, living quarters, supply routes, and hospitals. Today, they are a popular tourist attraction where visitors can explore sections of the tunnels and learn about the resilience and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people during wartime. Great experience and unforgettable day.
The experience was mixed. I had the bad luck to pick a terrible guide, frustrating part of my experience. The place itself is full of history and very impressive, but the huge tourist exploration can be irritating to the ones interested in history. But, anyway, the ingeniosity of the vietnamese resistance is admirable.
A lot of fun visiting the tunnels with our terrific guide Kynie. So helpful in making sure everyone had the best experience. Full of interesting information and willing to answer all our questions. The tunnels are a fascinating glimpse into Vietnam’s history and well worth a visit.
Friday 17th October 2025: Good experience to visit and see how the NVA were so aware of their own surroundings and used them to their advantage. Plenty to visit on the site, but it gets extremely busy with tourists, and we were there at the start of the season. You can use the rifle range whilst there: hand gun (cant remember which one), and M16. I was informed they charge $2 per round, so if you want a full clip, thats gonna cost. Enjoyed the visit, it was just too busy, its one of thos early morning jobs you need to be there as soon as it opens to get total enjoyment
It is a symbol of Vietnamese people's resilience. Going through the tunnel was one of my thrilling experience in life. You will feel anxious while entering into the tunnels. Lot of tourists are visiting this place but still able to explore all the tunnel areas. There is a shooting area where you can practice shooting with M14 or other guns. We also got opportunity to ate cassava prepared by Vietnamese and it tastes good. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and explained all the things nicely.
