Overview of Tunnles

- Cu Chi Tunnels are part of a massive and elaborate tunnel system used during the Vietnam War. This place offers a reliable stronghold for Viet Cong soldiers during the wars against the French and mainly the US soldiers. It comprises more than 200km of underground tunnels with booby traps and trapdoors, living areas, kitchens, storage facilities, hospitals, and command centers. By walking and crawling through the tunnels, you will get a sense of the world of guerrilla warfare in the incredible Cu Chi tunnels and gain insight into the tenacity and bravery of the soldiers.

Before entering the tunnels we will stop to discover rubber plantations or rice field.

10:00 AM

Cu Chi Tunnel

- Discover how the tunnels were built by fighters as a base from which the Viet Cong could operate.

I took my parents back to Vietnam for the first time in over 30 years, along with my own 2 kids for the first time. Kids loved Lee and my parents loved talking to Lee about their old country. He spoke both Vietnamese and English for the kids. Lee was very accommodating, and waited over an hour and a half for us the first day as our plane was late. We ended up taking two tours with Lee over two days...

Great Excursion, Great Guide

The excursion to the tunnels and the Mekong was very well planned out. Lee did a great job in structuring the excursion ensuring that our group of 4 were well isolated from the many large tour buses also visiting the tunnels. Lee's historical knowledge is excellent. The retelling of his father's stories from when his father was involved fighting for his country were extremely interesting. Lunch in the Mekong was most enjoyable, as was the boat rides and the visit to the coconut candy factory. Thank-you Lee for making the day very memorable.

Lee made our trip!

My son and I met Lee for a private tour of the city. He is very accommodating as far as our start time and flexibility as to where and what you want to see. His English is flawless and his sense of humor made us laugh throughout the day. We found we became fast friends. He found a catholic orphanage I was looking for and took us there. The eco village is a highlight as the locals go there to get away from the city. We were so impressed with Lee we hired him privately for 2 more days. You won't regret having Lee as your private guide. I think you will enjoy the sights more with him. He is very knowledgeable about Saigon and his love of his country shines through! Thank you for making our trip that much more memorable by sharing your history and knowledge of Vietnam in a fun and joyous way!
