Beautiful trip to Black Virgin Mountain & Cu Chi Tunnels - The two of us had a great day with our tour guide Max and our driver Mr Lucky. We were picked up from the hotel at 7am to go to the Cu Chi Tunnels first. We got there before the many other tourists, so we were able to visit many parts of the tour on our own. Afterwards we continued to the temple. The timing was perfect there too, because we were there in time for the service at 12 p.m. Afterwards we had a delicious lunch in a nearby restaurant. Our third stop was Black Virgin Mountain. That was also a wonderful experience. We immediately felt at home with Max and were able to ask him any questions about the sights, but also Vietnam in general. He was very friendly and always helpful. We are thrilled with the tour and can only recommend it!

A fantastic day spent! - It was a delight to delve into the history of the Vietnam War and learn about the fascinating Cao Dai religion. Exploring the narrow tunnels was an unexpected and eye-opening experience, and I gained a deep admiration for the courage and patience of the VC soldiers who navigated them. Witnessing the vibrant customs of the Cao Dai religion was truly captivating, offering insight into their cultural practices. Special thanks to Kain, our tour guide for providing clear explanations and excellent service throughout the day.

Cu Chi tunnels, Mekong delta, Black Lady mountain and Cao Dei temple - I went on a private tour with two girlfriends to the Cu Chi tunnels and the Mekong delta. Max was such an amazing and awesome tour guide. I booked him for a second solo tour a couple days later to see the Black Lady and Cao Dei temple. I liked this tour even more. Max and our driver Lucky were amazing. I loved having a guide who was so knowledgeable and also willing to go at my pace. So friendly. Max, you are AWESOME!!!!

One of the best tours we took in Vietnam - One of the best tours we did on our trip to Vietnam (and we did some really good ones). We picked up very early at the hotel in Ho Chi Mihn, even though it was a busy day on the mountain, we went in a comfortable and spacious car, to the foot of the mountain, where we went up by cable car and enjoyed the Buddhist temple, which, above all, has an incredible landscape.
Then we went to the Cao Daí temple, which is very close by and it was very interesting to learn about this Vietnamese religion. Soon after, we had lunch.
After lunch we headed to the Cu Chi tunnels, which was my son's favorite part of the tour who, to finish off with a flourish, ended the day shooting with his AK. We simply loved it!
It's worth a special mention to our guide, Bin, who did everything to make sure we had a great experience.
