Special and above all educational experience

What an experience, according to specification this is the less touristy part of the tunnels. That was right, there were maybe a total of 120 people at the same time. It is special to hear the story of guerrilla warfare and especially to see how the Vietnamese dealt with it. The tunnels themselves are cramped but well ventilated and illuminated. For me with my 1.93 cm it was doable. Recommended definitely do!

Guided tour to the Cu Chi tunnels

We were on a day trip to the Cu Chi tunnels. It was a great experience and a well arranged trip. Our tour guide was Tuan - and he did it fantastic. He himself participated in the war and had many stories.
