Great experience Jackie is full of knowledge and great English speaking tour guide
The Cu Chi Tunnels and Saigon City full-day tour offers an immersive experience into Vietnam's rich history and vibrant culture. This full-day tour combines a visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels, an extensive network of underground tunnels used during the Vietnam War, with a guided exploration of Ho Chi Minh City. It provides a fascinating contrast between the historical significance of the tunnels and the bustling city life. Cu Chi Tunnels: The day begins with a trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels, located about 1.5 hours from Ho Chi Minh City. The journey is scenic, allowing visitors to appreciate the lush Vietnamese countryside. Upon arrival, Jackie provided a comprehensive overview of the tunnels' history, explaining their strategic importance during the war. We explored the tunnels themselves, which have been preserved and widened for easier access. It's an eye-opening experience to crawl through the narrow passages, giving a sense of the difficult conditions faced by soldiers. The site also features various war relics, booby traps, and demonstrations that further illustrate the ingenuity and resilience of those who fought in the war. After the tunnels, the tour typically resumes in Ho Chi Minh City. Highlights include visits to historical landmarks such as the War Remnants Museum, the Reunification Palace, and the Post Office of Saigon. Each site is rich in history and offers a glimpse into Vietnam's colonial past and the impact of the war. The tour included a stop at a local restaurant and I had an amazing chicken curry meal at the same place visited by President Clinton. All admission fees were included in the tour fees, including snacks, bottles of water and refreshing wipe. This tour is suitable for all ages. Our tour guide, Jackie is extraordinarily knowledgeable and delivers with alot of pride and passion and has a wonderful art in story telling. I'm very pleased with the service of this tour company, as I was picked up and dropped back to my hotel. Thank you so much for an incredible day and I highly recommend this tour and company.

Had a wonderful day today with our excellent guide Jackie! He connected between the guests and was able to bring history to life - not only by sharing his knowledge but also giving the tour a personal touch. Enough time was given at relevant places to also explore a bit on our own. The tunnels were very informative and impressive to see and we had the chance to explore one on our own. I also liked the sightseeing in the city very much as it connected well to history. A big thank you to Jackie for making this a great day!!!
