It served as a means of communication between villages and helped the Vietnamese to evade scouting French soldiers.The tunnel network was extended over an area of 250 kilometers during the Vietnam War. Therefore, it became one of the important parts of Viet Cong fighting troops strategy and also the home for thousands of soldiers.Currently, about 120 km of the tunnels are preserved and work as a captivating attraction in Ho Chi Minh City.

Pick up was in time and the guide was pleasant. Pit stop on the way at a Handicraft by Handicapped artists. There was no pressure to buy anything and we opted to give a donation, again no pressure to do this either.We did feel rushed through the experience which was a shame as my son was keen to spend more time viewing certain things. In the end we arrived back at the motel an hour early so we could have taken our time to experience at our own pace. Otherwise, the site itself is definitely worth going to.

Derek was excellent. Good English with a great sense of humour.
It was really good to be able to choose a pick up time. Ours was 1100 which meant that our tour was between the busy periods so felt more personal.
Thank you Derek for an informative and fun day -

Thanks to Athena Travel Vietnam for making our trip to Ho chi Minh enjoyable (including Cao Dai Temple and Cu Chi Tunnels tour & Floating market in Mekong delta tour). I would like to give some credits to your staff Ms Tracy on handling my bookings who is very helpful and provide very prompt reply to all my emails on any inquiries. It has been a pleasure having Thuong as our guide -- she is an epitome of excellence in service. She went beyond what was expected of her. She was sensitive to the needs of her guests and she adjusted accordingly. She has become a dear friend of ours.We had so much fun and we were able to maximize our limited time in Vietnam. We love the Saigon tour packages we availed of. Thank you.
