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 Đài 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 Đài’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.

All in all, this excursion was fun. We saw a lot in the same amount of time we had. We ate delicious vietnamese food. And saw breath taking views.
The minus one star because every place we went was a power walk. We definitely didn't need to go to the roadside attraction. I wanted to enjoy the places we went to.
All in all, I would recommend this tour if you're able to keep up because our feet hurted at the end of the day.

Tom our tour guide was extremely helpful and shared some truly captivating stories and experiences about the history and culture behind our tour.
The Cu chi tunnels are a must visit but make sure that if you want to go into the tunnels to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty!
We were also just in time for the Cao Dai temple prayer at midday which was very interesting and peaceful.
Lunch was definitely worth it too! They catered for dietary requirements such as vegetarian and there was so much food I couldn’t finish my meal.
To cap it all off the Ba Den mountain eclipsed my expectations and was truly awe inspiring! From the beautiful scenery to the incredible 4D experience I couldn’t be happier.
Thank you again Tom and the team for an unforgettable experience!

For the tour:
- We visited Ba Den, the Cao Dai temple and the Ben Dinh portion of the Cu Chi tunnels. Each location provided an interesting peak into Vietnam’s past, recent past and how it invests into the future. Our guide provided the most information during the Cu Chi tunnels visit, Cao Dai was mostly about observing a unique religious ceremony, and Ba Den was beautiful touristic walk and cable car ride.
For the logistics:
- we were a small group of 4 people along with the driver and our guide, this felt almost like a private tour!
- The total driving time was around 7 hours (we unfortunately got stuck for around 1 hour in traffic). Looking back, this was a bit too much of driving for us, even without the traffic jam; that being said our guide and driver did their best to make the car trip feel less lengthy.
- The food at the restaurant was very tasty, and served in gigantic portions (I don’t think our group was able to finish half of it). They kindly offered multiple vegetarian options.

This was a great, easy, and relaxing way to accomplish a lot of different sites in a 12-hour day. Cu Chi Tunnels, Ba Den, and Cao Dai are not very close to each other but they are all very worthwhile places to visit to learn more about the wartime history and religious cultures of Vietnam. The can ride between Saigon and the countryside was very scenic and our tour guide Tom did a great job keeping us engaged during the drive while providing enough time for us to rest/nap. We highly recommend!

A fantastic tour led by Tuyen, who was brilliant! Tuyen was funny and knowledgeable, and his English is excellent. We ended up doing the tour in reverse order as he got word that the Ba Den Mountains were very busy in the morning; as a result, none of the places we visited were very crowded, which was great! Lunch was DELICIOUS and waaaay more food that two people could have possibly eaten. All the stops were great. I definitely recommend if you want to see sights out of the city! It's a long day, but definitely worth it in my view.

This was a 12 hour day.
8 of these were spent in the minibus. The 3 activities are too far from HCMC and apart. With the traffic to contend with you get no time at the venues, it was all a rush to get around back to the mini bus. We had a 1 hour break for lunch which was nice, but we were exhausted when we returned to the hotel due to the very, very long day in the mini bus.
These 3 activities should not be included in 1 tour

The three sites that we visited were wonderful! Very interesting and visually beautiful! While the guide had a great personality, she was a bit difficult to understand. We previously had two guides from Vietnam who could speak very good English. While I feel awkward bringing this out (and especially since I do not speak Vietnamese!) I will vet future guides.

I do not recommend this tour. It is overpriced and most of the time you will be in a car traveling from one place to another one.
Lunch was terrible.
