TOUR ITINERARY
Pickup Time – 6:30 AM: Your guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in central Ho Chi Minh City to start the tour.
First, we’ll stop at the Cu Chi Tunnels, where you'll learn about the underground rooms used by Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War.
Explore the impressive and tight tunnel network, including underground field hospitals, weapon factories, and command centers.
After lunch at a local restaurant, guests will have two options:
OPTION 1: Cao Dai Temple
Learn about this unique religion and its connection to Buddhism, Christianity, and Confucianism. As you may know, Cao Dai is a Vietnamese religion that worships the Divine Eye, representing a fusion of different faiths. You'll witness the Left Eye symbol and attend the midday prayer ceremony conducted by Cao Dai followers.
OPTION 2: Ba Den Mountain (Cable car ticket not included)
After visiting the Cao Dai Temple, the group will continue to Ba Den Mountain.
There, you'll ride a cable car to the summit of Ba Den—the highest peak in Southern Vietnam. From the top, not only will you see the tallest bronze Buddha statue in Asia, but you'll also enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and rice fields stretching all the way to the Cambodian border.
