Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tour

The system was extended into an assembly complex during the Vietnam War, which gave Communist guerrilla forces the ability to launch surprise attacks before blending into the terrain, provide cover for soldiers, transmit messages and supplies, get medical assistance, and find protection from aircraft bombardment. Vietnamese forces defeated American soldiers in South Vietnam thanks in large part to the Cu Chi Tunnels, which also functioned as a military headquarters. It offered an isolated base of operations from which to plan and execute successful military operations, the most well-known of which was the 1968 Tet Offensive.
