Joy Journeys always care for our client’s experience. Our knowledgeable, experienced, and well-English-speaking tour guides will provide you with fascinating insights into the history and significance of each location, making this an unforgettable experience.

Our tour offers a unique opportunity to witness the war history of Vietnam by exploring the underground Cu Chi Tunnels. You’ll have the chance to see the booby traps used during the war and explore the ex-US Army tank from the Vietnam War by touching it.

Additionally, you’ll be able to crawl inside the tunnels of Cu Chi and taste the locally grown Viet Cong food, tapioca, next to the tunnels. Finally, you’ll witness the propaganda of Viet Cong soldiers in Tan Phu Trung Ward and experience the underground Hoang Cam kitchen.

The highlight of the tour is when you can experience crawling into the Tunnels to feel what it was like the VietCong soldiers in the war time.

What you'll do

• Get picked-up at your accommodation in the city center and drive to Cu Chi, around 65km. On the way to the Tunnels, visit the handicapped handicraft workshop.
• Watch a documentary film about the Vietnam War. Discover special constructed living areas with kitchens, bedrooms, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals and command centers helping whoev- er lives inside Cu Chi tunnels meet their basic needs.
• Discover many hidden lefts behind trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels and learning more about the handmade weapon and traps used during the Vietnam War. Seeing huge bomb craters and the mere 10–13 feet thick level of upper soil can support the bearing weight of a 55-ton tank and the explosive damage of bombs left from the war.
• Break at the shooting range to shoot some real guns with Ak47, M16, M30, M60 (shooting fee is paid separately from the trip).
• Highlight of the trip is to crawl and experience the underground town of Cu Chi Tunnels. This is the best part of the trip when you crawl into it to feel how it was like in the war. Guests who have claustro- phobia be not afraid of crawling inside, you still can see it from above the ground.
• Taste the pandan tea and tapioca (guerilla’s food during the war) before heading back to Saigon.
