Network of underground passages, a real city where the Viet Cong lived, dug in the 40s by guerrillas fighting with the French and then expanded during the war with the Americans. Built at various levels, ventilation system, kitchen, medical room, warehouses. Only one part can be visited, you can walk in a narrow passage (which has been widened), see various traps, watch a short introductory film, shoot rifles at a range. Very crowded not only by groups, but all with guides, an environment full of vegetation and very hot. Interesting experience, highly recommended

We had an excellent time at the Cu Chi tunnels. Special thanks to our guide Mr Chien who was extraordinary. He has a good command over the english language and is very knowledgeable and articulate. Would recommend him to most of my Indian and western friends

I pre-booked the Cu Chi Tunnels half-day tour through the Klook app. It's been about an hour since we met on the morning of the reservation date and moved to the Cu Chi Tunnel on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City. The rectangular shape around the hole where my body entered in the Gucci Tunnel looks small, but I tried to see if my slightly chubby body could fit in, and I was able to get out without a hitch. I passed through the tunnel and came out from the hole close to where I came out.

Cu Chi Tunnel is a complex where visitors can experience the real on the ground situation at the time of Vietnam War with USA. Very impressive & a must visit place. It has real war time tanks, helicopters & other war time weapons on display, one can also try hand at shooting on payment of extra money. Very intersting place & a MUST VISIT

I have visited the Cu Chi Tunnels twice - there are 2 locations and my word of advice is to choose the larger site. I did this on my first visit and recently went to the smaller site which was not nearly as good. Admittedly it was the weekend so likely to be busy, but busy is an understatement for such a small site (compared to the other). We were moved on by the tour guide as there was no time to wait for others to finish viewing/listening at certain locations which made it feel rushed and difficult to get a true sense of place (given the incredible history). The larger site was quieter and left more time for exploring and going down into tunnels. At both sites you are able to try machine guns (definitely not something I would do - it just did not feel appropriate). the issue I had with the smaller site was the noise - at the midway point of the tour they leave you at a cafe for 10mins but the gun range is right next to it and the noise is unbearable. They even leave ear defenders out! The sites offer an insight into the incredible stories and plight of those that fought in the war and I feel that the larger site did that justice. A chance to engage and truly imagine what life may have been like. The smaller site felt very much a tourist destination rather than having significant historical value. If I were rating the smaller site I would only give 3/5.

A fantastic visit here today. Superb tour guide with us made it so enjoyable. Maybe bring a bottle of water with you as you do some walking around and it gets very warm. 34c today. The surface underfoot is uneven in places so be careful. Toilets are very clean. .

We squeezed through those narrow passages, and suddenly our apartment felt HUGE. Seriously, though, the ingenuity is incredible – kitchens, hospitals, living quarters… all underground! Warning: it's dark, tight, and a bit scary picturing what life must have been like down there. However, we gained a whole new appreciation for the resilience of the Vietnamese people. Bring a flashlight and a sense of humor, and you'll be amazed at the history hiding beneath the surface.

isiting the Cu Chi Tunnels provides a sobering, eye-opening look at the realities of the Vietnam War. The vast network of underground tunnels demonstrates the extraordinary ingenuity and resilience of the Viet Cong guerrilla forces. Crawling through a small section of tunnel highlighted the challenges and sacrifices made by those who lived underground. The exhibits, short films, and knowledgeable guides offer a detailed historical overview of the tunnels' role and construction. While not a light-hearted experience, Cu Chi sheds light on a crucial aspect of the conflict. We found it a powerful and thought-provoking reminder of the human cost of war.

The extensive network of tunnels, trapdoors and hiding places illustrates the incredible adaptability of the Viet Cong guerrillas, as well as the harshness of the war. The exhibits, photos and informative tours provide an insight into the construction and strategic use of the tunnel system. It made us think to see the ingenuity and deprivation of everyday life in the tunnels. The Cu Chi Tunnels are a memorial to the horrors of war and an important testimony to Vietnamese history.

We visited the Cu Chi tunnels and we were both impressed and a little claustrophobic! It's crazy to see this huge underground network that the Viet Cong built. We discovered the ingenious traps used against the French army, and it really highlights their resilience. If you want to dive into the history of Vietnam in an original way, we recommend the tunnels!
