What makes it 81% Couple-Friendly: Partners can share the tunnel crawl, zipline, and lakeside pedal boats, creating a memorable joint adventure, but the wartime setting and high heat limit pure leisure so it is slightly less ideal.

The Củ Chi Tunnels, located near Ho Chi Minh City, are an extensive underground network used by Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War. Stretching over 200 kilometers, these tunnels served as hiding spots, living quarters, supply routes, and hospitals. Today, they are a popular tourist attraction where visitors can explore sections of the tunnels and learn about the resilience and ingenuity of...

The experience was mixed. I had the bad luck to pick a terrible guide, frustrating part of my experience. The place itself is full of history and very impressive, but the huge tourist exploration can be irritating to the ones interested in history. But, anyway, the ingeniosity of the vietnamese resistance is admirable.

A lot of fun visiting the tunnels with our terrific guide Kynie. So helpful in making sure everyone had the best experience. Full of interesting information and willing to answer all our questions. The tunnels are a fascinating glimpse into Vietnam’s history and well worth a visit.

Lot of tourists are visiting this place but still able to explore all the tunnel areas. There is a shooting area where you can practice shooting with M14 or other guns. We also got opportunity to ate cassava prepared by Vietna...
