What To Expect
Cao Dai Temple
Pick up and depart to Tay Ninh from Ho Chi Minh City in the morning. Explore the Cao Dai religion in its most scared Holy Temple (1926). The Cao Dai religion is an interesting hybrid of Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam and Taoism. The symbol of Cao Daism is the Holy all-seeing eye, which is located at the entrance of this magnificent temple. After departing from Ho Chi Minh City you will join the midday mass, which is a fantastic experience, where you will get to listen to the mesmerizing chants of the followers while observing them in their colourful robes. Lunch at a local restaurant before proceeding towards the Cu Chi Tunnels.
Cu Chi Tunnels
Explore the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels—a vast underground network used during the Vietnam War. Watch a documentary, visit command centers, crawl through tunnels, see ingenious war traps, taste local tea and cassava, and return to Ho Chi Minh City in the evening.
