Step into one of the most extraordinary feats of wartime engineering on this half-day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels, just outside Ho Chi Minh City.
Your licensed English-speaking guide collects you from your hotel and travels with you to the Ben Dinh site, the quieter and authentic of the two tunnel complexes. Along the way you'll hear the story of how an entire underground town — kitchens, hospitals, meeting rooms and sleeping quarters — was carved out of the red earth and held for two decades.
At the site you'll see hidden trapdoors barely wider than your shoulders, the ingenious ventilation and cooking systems that hid smoke from the surface. Then comes the part everyone remembers: crawling through a preserved section of tunnel yourself, there are exit points along the way, so you can go as far as you're comfortable.
Afterwards you'll try local cassava with peanut and sesame — the staple that kept the tunnel residents alive — and enjoy free time before the drive back to the city.
