The tunnels were used in the Vietnam War. The role of the tunnel systems should not be underestimated in its importance to the Viet Cong in resisting American operations and protracting the war, eventually culminating in an American withdrawal. You can read more information on the chu chi tunnels from wikipedia.

Cool, I will also be visiting Saigon next month. Did you travel with Dong Ho?
Where did you avail your tour for Cu Chi?
No, I went with my hubby. It happened that Dong Ho went there after I left.
I booked the tour from a Singapore Tour Agency for the entire tour to Ho Chi Minh which included the chu chi tunnel.
i like the maniquins in the site. they look so real in photos. we enjoyed our cu chi tunnel trip.
