Cancellation policy

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

At Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh city, you have the opportunity to attend quite the exciting history lesson on the underground tunnels of Củ Chi with significant historical relevance. Get a taste of Vietnam’s guerilla war as you descend into the tunnels that were once rigged with booby traps and served as a base for the Viet Cong, the National Liberation Front! It was where local soldiers and residents would eat, work, sleep, cook, and even go to school. By the year 1965, it stretched out to an astonishing 200 km! Learn about the complicated lives of the tunnel residents back in the day from your tour guide as you soak up sights that are absolutely heartbreaking.

Did you know that the tunnels are much more enlarged now so that visitors can crawl through them? Imagine what it must’ve been like for the soldiers and residents during the Vietnam War!
