Creator's Key Takeaways

We're whisked away into the car, which is a nice SUV, roomy, comfortable, airond conditioned car.

It was heavy, thick air, but it's not going to stop us from wanting to go see these coochie tunnels because it is so eventful and exciting to learn the history of all of this.

I was also able to go down into the tunnel with bow. were probably about the same size. And so to fit through these tunnels, you have to be very small.

It was beautiful and you just felt so very special. It was because of Bao who made this feel so special for us and he really cared about his clients on this tour.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a private tour for a more personalized experience at the Cu Chi Tunnels.
βœ“Bring water and prepare for hot, humid weather in southern Vietnam.
