They are a testament to the determination and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people during the War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, they are a popular attraction offering a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by those who fought. However, what is the best way to explore them, and is a tour really worth it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily enough I was able to visit them during my month backpacking Vietnam.

There was no way I would survive being on a motorbike in that traffic and I was not confident taking public transport. Booking a tour would be the only way to go for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you may find doing it yourself is your ideal choice. Nevertheless, I will cover both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-9.webp\" alt=\"The concealed entrance of a Cu Chi tunnel covered with a layer of fallen leaves, blending seamlessly with the forest floor.coming out of ground at cu chi tunnels vietnam\" class=\"wp-image-71485\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-9.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-9-602x400.webp 602w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-9-768x511.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">hands coming out of ground at cu chi tunnels vietnam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-6-best-tours-of-the-cu-chi-tunnels\">The 6 Best Tours Of The Cu Chi Tunnels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I booked with a random tour agency I found on the streets of District 1. If you are keen to do the same you will find any agency will sell a selection of Cu Chi Tunnel tours, as well as other tours of some other<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigworldsmallpockets.com\/ho-chi-minh-things-to-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> things to do in Ho Chi Minh City<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the downside of booking through a tour agency is it is a bit of a gamble. You don&#8217;t know how good it really is, and a common theme in Asia. Sometimes what they promise you really isn&#8217;t included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why I now choose to book online in advance, allowing me to check out reviews of other travelers and have some sort of itinerary so I know what is exactly going to happen. A lot of these companies nowadays also do free cancellation so it really is no risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-3.webp\" alt=\"Workers in blue uniforms at the lacquer stop off during the cu chi tunnels tour demonstrating manufacturing processes.\" class=\"wp-image-71479\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-3.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-3-602x400.webp 602w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-3-768x511.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the unavoidable lacquer stop off during the tour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"66O8EST\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#ffa03b7a\">\ud83d\ude97 <strong>How I Book Cheap Transport In Vietnam: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baolau.vn\/en\/results?source=9719&amp;transports=&amp;origin_id=town-37&amp;origin=Hanoi&amp;origin_town=HANOI&amp;origin_town_lang=HANOI&amp;origin_type=town&amp;destination=Ho+Chi+Minh&amp;destination_id=town-79&amp;destination_town=HO+CHI+MINH&amp;destination_town_lang=HO+CHI+MINH&amp;destination_type=town\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Baolau<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/12go.com\/?z=703961\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">12.Go Asia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-cu-chi-tunnels-half-day-tour\">1.

These crazy underground tunnels played a super important part in the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At its peak, the tunnels stretched over 250km worth through the countryside. Some of the tunnels even lead from Ho Chi Minh to the Cambodian border. After being stuck on a bus along this drive from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/ho-chi-minh-city-to-phnom-penh\/\">Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh<\/a> is actually crazy to think about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each tunnel was no more than 70cm wide and 90cm high, some even ran 30 feet deep underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction of the tunnels first began in the late 1940s when the Indochina war with France was going on. Though, when the US military came along this forced them to expand the tunnel network immensely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It quickly became a maze to the unfamiliar, though for those who knew the ins and outs, it was a vital part of their lives. These tunnels served as homes, kitchens, and supply lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With special ventilation and drainage, it made the conditions semi-livable, but there was always the risk of snakes, flooding, disease, and limited oxygen levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two sites consisting of a series of tunnels open for tourists to visit. These are Ben Dinh and Ben Duoc and they are about 13 km apart. The more popular sites and what most tours visit are the Ben Duoc tunnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-5_1.webp\" alt=\"A man stands beside a small, open tunnel entrance at the Cu Chi Tunnels, with visitors in the background walking through the forested area.\" class=\"wp-image-71481\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-5_1.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-5_1-602x400.webp 602w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-5_1-768x511.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">small entrance to a tunnel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"opening-hours-location-of-cu-chi-tunnels\">Opening Hours &amp; Location Of Cu Chi Tunnels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cu Chi Tunnels are <strong>open from 7 am until 5 pm every day<\/strong>.

Walking around the different agencies we collected more and more people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He rounded us up like sheep and we followed through the busy streets and across a park where a bus was parked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the drive out of Central Ho Chi Minh City, the journey was filled with stories by our guide. We learned a lot about the Vietnamese War, the history of Ho Chi Minh City, and some personal stories as well since our guide father fought in the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the lacquer factory, we were given a quick briefing by a well-spoken and beautifully presented Vietnamese lady about the purpose of the factory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have read that visiting the lacquer factory cannot be avoided when booking a tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels. In all honesty, there is some lovely artwork, but I am on a budget and it is not my cup of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Past endless rubber plantations and flat landscapes, we are soon greeted by hoards of tour buses signaling we have arrived. Following our tour guide to the front desk he collects our money, cuts the lines, and gives it to one of the staff members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We each receive our tickets and head into our first tunnel, which isn&#8217;t your typical tunnel. It is a large underground structure where they punch our tickets and we are let into the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this stage, it is obvious our tour guide does this extremely often. He seems to know every staff member as he high-fives and jokes with each one that we pass. Though, we find out that this is a good thing as when there are traps and weapons he will jump behind the cautionary line and demonstrate the uses for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the other tour groups needed to be shown by one of the staff members. This made our time on the tour that much more personal and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will admit some of the rooms displayed such as the kitchen were quite corny. Though, luckily our guide seemed to be able to make a good joke out of every situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was extremely interesting to learn the different &#8216;layers&#8217; of the tunnels and I will say I learned a lot. It is an extremely educational experience so get ready to learn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-4_1.webp\" alt=\"A close-up view of a booby trap at the Cu Chi Tunnels, with sharp spikes at the bottom of a deep pit, surrounded by artificial grass to illustrate how traps were hidden during wartime.\" class=\"wp-image-71480\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-4_1.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-4_1-602x400.webp 602w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cu-chi-tunnels-4_1-768x511.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">rotating pit full of spikes, one of the traps on show at the cu chi tunnels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"66O8EST\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#ffa03b7a\">\ud83d\ude97 <strong>How I Book Cheap Transport In Vietnam: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baolau.vn\/en\/results?source=9719&amp;transports=&amp;origin_id=town-37&amp;origin=Hanoi&amp;origin_town=HANOI&amp;origin_town_lang=HANOI&amp;origin_type=town&amp;destination=Ho+Chi+Minh&amp;destination_id=town-79&amp;destination_town=HO+CHI+MINH&amp;destination_town_lang=HO+CHI+MINH&amp;destination_type=town\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Baolau<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/12go.com\/?z=703961\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">12.Go Asia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ho-chi-minh-travel-tips\">Ho Chi Minh Travel Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know about the Cu Chi Tunnels, one of the main highlights in Ho Chi Minh City, here are some other tips to make the most out of your visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where To Stay In Ho Chi Minh City<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nestled in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, District 1 stands out as the ultimate hub for travelers.
