Great way to hit all major points in one day!

I traveled with my husband and brother and had a great time! Phong was very informed and had a great sense of humor. He also took the liberty of making slight rearrangements to our schedule to accommodate the heavy traffic that would happen since it was Buddha’s birthday. He gave us ample time to see everything and didn’t rush through anything. We got back at around 6:30 pm as promised. Overall a very comfortable trip! There quite a bit of walking so I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone that has mobility limitations.

We loved this tour! Jerry was an amazing guide with so much knowledge and kept us entertained the entire time. His English was amazing and he was very quick to make a plan for a vegetarian lunch. The Tunnels were amazing and the lack of crowds was such a plus!! Thank you

My guide Tony was great.

Tony picked up up on time and gave a fantastic 10+ hour tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels and Black Virgin Mountain. His English was excellent and I learned quite many fantastic things from him about the tour and Vietnam in general. I would strongly recommend him.

Excellent Tour Guide

Lewis_M, Mar 2023

Cu chi tunnels were a must, if you want to see Black Virgin Mountain then this is an excellent tour for doing both in the same day but bare in mind there is a lot of travel in a car. Our tour guide Eric was amazing, I was ill, (not related to the tour) and Eric made sure I was ok, stopped at a pharmacy for some medication and really tailored the tour around my needs.

Very productive tour! I took it on September 4, 2022. I was picked up by amazing tour guide Mr. Hien at 7:00 AM sharp from my hotel and we went directly to Cu Chi Ben Dinh Tunnels. Spent there an hour or so. Mr. Hien explained and shown all the details about the tunnels, I had a lot of questions, he answered them all, very interesting! After that we went to Tay Ninh for ceremony in temple. It take around 1.5 hours to get there. On the way to the temple I got very hungry and asked if we could stop somewhere for early lunch. So we stopped for a drink and then for an early lunch (eaten Banh Mi Chao at some local place). Still made it by noon to the temple. Ceremony would be 20 minutes enough to watch. Then we had included lunch just across the road from temple (second lunch for me) and headed to the Ba Den Mountain. It was a bit rainy and drizzling that day and mountain was in a clouds, but it is still worth go up there (by cable car, included) for ~2+ hours to explore summit. Views are stunning, everything is newly renovated up there. Finished at 3+ PM, Mr. Hien and driver drove me back directly to the airport so I could catch my flight at 10 PM. Reached airport by 6:30 PM. Thank you very much for a productive trip!
