What makes it 40% Baby-Friendly: Babies may stay in shaded paths and documentary hall, but tunnels are unsafe, gunfire is startling, and there are no nursing rooms or change tables, so parents face logistical stress throughout the visit.

Stretching over 200 kilometers, these tunnels served as hiding spots, living quarters, supply routes, and hospitals.

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.

We also got opportunity to ate cassava prepared by Vietna...
