Day 1

CU CHI TUNNELS (Meal: L)

This tour, perfect for history and war buffs, will take you back to wartime where you can explore the famous Cu Chi tunnels, try your hand at shooting accuracy with an AK-47 and even sample food eaten by Vietnamese soldiers during the war.

We depart at 8:30 am from Vietnam Adventure Tours office Or pick up at your hotel to Cu Chi Tunnel for 60km from Ho Chi Minh City. Cu Chi is now considered a heroic district for its role in the anti – American war in Vietnam. It is legendary for its tunnels system of over 220 km and is a popular spot for both Vietnamese and foreigner.

The famous Cu Chi tunnels are a network of underground tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City. The tunnels were used as a military base for resistance to US forces during the Vietnam War and often used as hiding spots or spy activities.

Along the way to Cu Chi from Ho Chi Minh city, we will pass by the scenic local countryside, where you might even spot ducks and buffalo cooling off in the river. You will find it hard to imagine the destruction and damage that once dominated the area, caused by bombing and mines when Cu Chi was “a free target zone.”

Lunch at local restaurant.

Had a great day our with on the vip small cu chi tunnels tour from ho chi minh city. Tour cost £30 (35usd) each and for that we had a small tour with just three of us plus our guide jackie. We were taken to the tunnels via luxury van with info on route about the vietnam war and what we were to see. Jackie was a great guide. He is passionate and loves to talk and is a real character so made it a very memorable day. It is a long journey therr and back and you spend around 2 hrs at the tunnel sight itself where jackie explained how everything worked in great detail. Being nervous of going into the tunnel he calmly explained how it would be underground and was very calm with me when i came out earlier and then helped me try again later. The tunnels are small ( I’m 5ft 5 and could bend over and walk thru) but it hot and muggy so take your time and go at your own speed. After the tour we had to sit thru a boring propaganda film before leaving for lunch (included in the small vip tour) which was really very good in a really.lovely riverside setting. After that we just drove back to the city and were allowed to relax and snooze which was perfect. It is a long day out and long way to go but after visiting the war museum we thought it good to find out more and see more things. Jackie (who was in the war) answers questions and brings the whole thing to life in his own unique way. I hope they pay him well, he deserves it. Oh and the organisation of everything thru Vietnam adventure tours was perfect. On time, great van, driver and guide. Wouldn def use again.

Had an amazing tour with our tour guide Jackie who was in the war. He was really funny and very informative as well as provided us with an insight of the war that no one else would’ve been able to. The ride to the tunnels from our hotel was amazing! There was myself and three others from my family as well as Jackie and our driver. The vehicle was spacious, fully air conditioned with big reclining leather seats with lots of legroom, cup holders and a USB charging plug at each chair. We received chilled water and fresh mango as well as lots of information on the ride to the tunnels with pictures and maps that Jackie showed us. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to go and visit the tunnels and learn lots about the history of the war in Vietnam on a personal and deeper level with Jackie.

Today we were lucky enough to do this tour with Jackie. We travelled to the tunnels in a really comfortable van with lovely big seats, air con, iced water, fruit etc. We had one other lovely young couple with us. Jackie is a real character, lots of laughs and so knowledgable about the Vietnam war. We were enthralled by his stories of his days as a translator in the war. He is able to convey the horrors of this war from personal experience but he does it with compassion and keeps it light and not too heavy. He guided us expertly when it was time to go into the tunnels. The lunch provided was filling and delicious. Pip and I would thoroughly recommend this tour and we hope you are lucky enough to get Jackie as your guide.

Jackie speaks the truth
Every other tour guide is a liar but we were given the truth today by our boy jackie. Because we are VIP. No propaganda, no falsies, only truth.. and beers. Would be a fool to not go on this tour
