Cu Chi Tunnels Luxury Group Tour Half Day
Overview
Cu Chi Tunnels were not only home for thousands of Viet Cong guerrillas, but it was also a complicated structure consisting of numerous trenches, bunkers, booby traps, bomb shelters and an amazing air ventilation system.
The Cu Chi tunnel network is an extensive labyrinth of underground tunnels stretching all the way to the Cambodian border. They were built over a period of some 25 years and initial construction began in 1948 by the Viet Minh during the war against the French. Soldiers cooked, ate, slept, worked, and even went to school in these tunnels as conflict raged above, not to mention that there were hospitals, theatres, schools, kitchens, all built into this extraordinary tunnel system.

Was an excellent tour all around! Immediately from the start we were greeted with a lovely energy from our amazing guide, Larry. He took care of us all day long and was extremely knowledgeable about every stop we made. Definitely learned a lot and was able to really take in the sights and sounds with the smaller group. We had priority access to all of the attractions and didn't have to deal with all the hustle and bustle of bigger groups. The van was spacious and comfortable with great A/C all day. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you so much for an amazing day, Larry!
