Tour Description:

Cu Chi Tunnel stands as one of the most ingenious war tactics ever employed by local resistance. Built by local Vietnamese with just basic farming tools, this 250 km tunnel played a pivotal and important role in ensuring victories for the Viet Minh and Viet Cong. As a whole, this tunnel system consists of hospitals, rooms, kitchen, storage area, and a working room underground. It is definitely possible to stay and remain underground for days and still perform the daily function of lives as the underground army lies in wait to ambush the enemy troops.
