Travel from Ho Chi Minh City to Black Virgin Mountain by cable car, visit colorful Cao Dai Temple, enjoy a Vietnamese lunch, then explore Cu Chi Tunnels with a guide. The 10-hour trip includes District 1, 3, and 4 pickup, transport, entrance fees, water, and a small group of up to 15.
“The guide was not professional, he barely spoke English and was completely useless. It’s a shame that a Vietnamese guide can tell literally nothing about Cu Ci Tunnels to English speaking foreigners. We’ve seen many other professional guides there with other groups, so we can clearly compare. Also he missed the show time at Cao Dai Temple, we arrived late. And did not know how to travel to middle Pagoda at Black Virgin Mountain. Don’t buy it here, take a man with Van or Motorbike instead for a lower price, it will be same effective.”

Our guide (Ocean) was very knowledgeable and knew the short cuts and places to take the pictures. Loved the tunnels and the history… best day in Vietnam.”
