1 day exploring Ho Chi Minh City (Sai Gon) & Cu Chi Tunnels - This is a very meaningful trip. This is a tour steeped in history. We learned about old Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City. We also explored the monumental Cu Chi tunnel system of Vietnamese people during the war with America. The company is very thoughtful, the tour guide is very knowledgeable about history, and introduced us to every smallest detail. Thank!
