What to expect

We pick up guests at several hotels; your hotel might be the first, so please be ready by 07:00a.m. Amidst the vibrant bustle of Sài Gòn’s streets, we set off towards Tây Ninh province. We might stop along the way for refreshment and toilet.

1. Ba Den Mountain
Upon arrival, we will take a scenic cable car ride to the peak of BA Den Mountain, the highest peak in southern Vietnam. From the top, you can not only admire the magnificent Tay Do Da Son Buddha Statue, the tallest bronze Buddha statue in Asia, but also enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including picturesque villages and rice fields that stretch all the way to the border with Cambodia. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the stunning scenery.

2. Cao Dai Temple
After that, we transfer to the Cao Đai Temple which has been described as a Walt Disney fantasia of the East. The temple’s exterior is decorated with multi-colored dragons of all shapes and sizes competing for space with a number of swastikas. Above the main entrance is the all-seeing holy eye, the symbol of the Cao Dai sect. The interior is just as engaging as statues of Jesus, Buddha, Confucius and Laozi stand side by side. Admire the beautiful building of Cao Dai’s biggest temple and join the ceremony to understand more about this uniquely Vietnamese religion. Your delicious lunch will be served at a local restaurant. Savor the flavors of authentic Vietnamese cuisine while taking in the ambiance and hospitality of the locals.

3. Cu Chi Tunnels
We will drive for approximately 40-60 minutes to reach the Củ Chi Tunnels Historical Site. Upon arrival, we will watch a brief propaganda video before spending the next hour exploring weapon and booby trap exhibitions, navigating authentic VC tunnels, visiting different underground bunkers (kitchens, meeting rooms, ammunition etc.), firing range and more. Try some local tapioca before driving back to the city. We’ll journey back to the vibrant heart of Hồ Chí Minh City, a scenic drive that takes approximately 1.5 hours. Relax and take in the stunning countryside views as we return to the hustle and bustle of city life. Finally, we’ll drop you off back at your pick-up point in the city center as per your request.
