Half-Day Cu Chi Tunnels Guided Exclusive Experience with Pick Up
Gain a deeper understanding of stories of the American-Vietnam war as you discover the maze-like Cu Chi Tunnels, a 136-mile (220 kilometres) network of underground tunnels used by the Viet Cong soldiers on a Morning or Afternoon group tour. Listen to your guide's uplifting stories as you peer into old storage areas, poke your head through camouflaged trapdoors, and crawl through military supply tunnels. You have the option to expand your experience by using the AK47 shooting range at your own expense.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Cu Chi Tunnels, Phu Hiep TL15 Phu Hiep, Ho Chi Minh City 700000 Vietnam
After being picked up, you will begin your journey to the west of the city, toward Cu Chi (60km - 1,5 hours).
Upon arrival, watch a documentary about the Vietnam War. We then discover specially built living areas with kitchens, bedrooms, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers to assist whoever lives inside the Cu Chi tunnels in meeting their basic needs while listening to your guide's stories about the history of this land. Many hidden behind trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels will be revealed, and we will learn more about the handmade weapons and traps used during the War.
Seeing huge bomb craters and the mere 10-13 feet thick level of upper soil can support the bearing weight of a 55-ton tank and the explosive damage of bombs left from the war. Highlight of the trip is to crawl and experience the underground town of Cu Chi Tunnels. The best part of the trip is crawling into it to experience what it was like.
