Why we love it?

This tour from Ho Chi Minh City takes you to the Cu Chi Tunnel Ben Duoc, a complex multi-level tunnel system featuring living quarters, working areas, a medical chamber, weapon storage, and the “Hoang Cam” kitchen, which used smoke-disguising cooking techniques. You’ll explore narrow passageways, hidden entrances, wartime traps, ventilation holes, and see an open-air museum displaying aircraft, tanks, bombs, and weapons. The itinerary also includes a visit to the Ben Duoc Memorial Temple, where the names of tens of thousands of martyrs are engraved on stone tablets, and a reconstructed “liberated zone” that recreates wartime landscapes and daily life. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off in central District 1, an air-conditioned vehicle, a knowledgeable English-speaking guide, bottled water, and entrance fees. This experience suits travelers interested in Vietnam War history, military engineering, and cultural heritage.
