Cu Chi Tunnels & Cao Dai Temple Full Day

Morning

Our tour guide will pick you up at your hotel at 08:00 and your journey to Tay Ninh Province begins. 

Upon reaching Tay Ninh, you can visit the Cao Dai Temple, the most revered place of worship in the Caodaism religion. You have the opportunity to attend the daily prayer ceremonies, explore the temple's intricate architecture and artwork, and gain insights into the Cao Dai faith by visiting the on-site museum.

Afternoon

After a local lunch, we head to Cu Chi Tunnels to gain a deeper understanding of the war’s tactics and learn about the resilience of Vietnamese people. 

In Cu Chi Tunnels, tourists can delve into the complex network of underground tunnels that were used by the Viet Cong during the war. You can choose to crawl through sections of the tunnels, providing a firsthand activity of the challenging conditions faced by soldiers.

If you are interested, you are allowed to register on-site to fire weapons used during the war, such as the AK-47. It's a unique experience for those who wish to try their hand at historical firearms. Here, it is possible to enjoy a walk through the beautiful forested landscapes that now cover the once war-torn region.

After that, head back to your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and end a day filled with history, culture, and exploration.

This trip gave me a whole new perspective on Vietnamese culture and history.
I attended the daily prayer sessions and explored the temple grounds at Cao Dai Temple. Really enjoyed it. The Cu Chi Tunnels was also interesting too. I loved it when making my way across the forest and reaching underground like a soldier. A well-spent day.
