Wanna learn a piece of Vietnam war history by booking your experienced Tour guide for a short trip to Cuchi Tunnels

Most of you may know about Vietnam Country through its war history and Stories about Vietnam  war have been told and retold thousands of time in magazine, Newspaper articles, books, Televisions  and Movie...., then No need to repeat here. Unfortunately, Some accounts wrongly give misleading or not fully enough....Why not take a short trip to Chuchi tunnels where you can not only be told about all the war but also touch on that and walk on that. Check it out:

Many Questions ( Even some personal physical questions) Before you go
          For an Example:

“I want to visit the Chi Chi Tunnels however I am overweight, heart-complications or claustrophobia  would this be an issue when going through the tunnels?

The answers:

They have "westernized" one section of the tunnels that makes it easier to experience for someone who's stature is a little more than an average Vietnamese person. They also do have some exits along the way... However, only a small portion of the visitors to the tunnels actually enter into them, as they still are relatively small spaces. There is plenty to see and experience at the tunnels without having to physically enter into one of them. Let's check it out”

Today, Going through the enlarged Chu Chi Tunnels

Today, We highly recommend you the most highlighted  half day tour to former battlefield of Cu Chi village or Cu Chi Tunnles system located 65km North West of Saigon.

Chu Chi Tunnels - Getting down small sceret entrance

The tunnels were used by Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous guerrilla fighters. The role of the tunnel systems was so important to the Viet Cong in resisting American operations and protracting the war, eventually persuading the weary Americans into withdrawal.
