About this tour

A combo tour that includes the Cu Chi Tunnels, Ba Den Mountain, and the Cao Dai Holy See in Tây Ninh is a popular and comprehensive full-day trip from Ho Chi Minh City. This excursion is perfect for travelers who want to experience a diverse range of Vietnam's history, culture, and nature in a single, packed day. This tour provides a fascinating contrast between three distinct facets of Vietnamese life: the historical resilience of the war, the unique spiritual harmony of Caodaism, and the serene beauty of the country's natural landscape. It's a long day, often lasting 10 to 12 hours, so be prepared for a full schedule of travel and activities.
