About the Tour

Cu Chi Tunnels is a famous destination located in the northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, about 70km from the city center.

Dubbed the “land of steel”, Cu Chi Tunnels has a tunnel system of more than 200km, which is considered an “impregnable underground village”.

Cu Chi Tunnels attract many tourists, especially international tourists when visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Today, some tunnels are renovated and opened more widely so that visitors can get in and out more easily.

After a visit to Cu Chi Tunnels, you continue to visit My Tho, Tien Giang province, located about 70km north of Ho Chi Minh City.
