Less-Crowded Cu Chi Tunnels (Ben Duoc Site) Half-Day Tour
- 7.5 hours
- 35/Adult
- Serve from 1 adult
Tour Overview
At Saigon Taste Tours, we keep our Cu Chi Tunnels tours intimate with a maximum of 10 guests, ensuring a more personal and authentic experience. We visit the Ben Duoc Tunnels—a quieter, more historic site than the typical tourist spots. Explore the underground network, see real booby traps, touch an ex-US Army tank, crawl through the tunnels, and try wartime tapioca. You’ll also learn about Viet Cong life and propaganda during the war.
