Pick up at hotels in Ho Chi Minh City at 7:30 AM and depart for the Cu Chi Tunnels.
Upon arrival Ben Duoc Tunnels, a section of the Cu Chi Tunnels network located in the Cu Chi District of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Unlike the more popular Ben Dinh Tunnels, the Ben Duoc Tunnels were left untouched and preserved in their original state, providing visitors with a more authentic and realistic experience. The tunnels are a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Vietnamese people, as they were used to shelter and protect soldiers during the Vietnam War.
Then, transfer to Cao Dai Temple. Observe the midday prayer ceremony and watch the Cao Dai followers dress in colorful robes and perform their religious rituals, incorporating elements from various religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
Enjoy lunch at a Vietnamese vegan restaurant with a delicious and healthy option for those looking to try new plant-based dishes. Tay Ninh's vegetarian cuisine is recognized as part of the country's intangible culture.
Turn back to Ho Chi Minh City and drop off at the hotels.

The tour was a great way to spend a day outside of Ho Chi Minh City. The Ben Duoc Tunnels and Cu Chi Tunnels were a sobering reminder of the Vietnam War, and the Cao Dai Temple was a beautiful and unique spiritual experience. The hike up Ba Den Mountain was a bit challenging but definitely worth it for the panoramic views. The vegan restaurant was a nice surprise, with some delicious and healthy food that was a nice break from the usual heavy Vietnamese cuisine.

Ba Den Mountain offered stunning views and a challenging hike, which was definitely worth it. The vegan restaurant was a great way to end the day, with some delicious food that was a refreshing change from the usual meat-heavy Vietnamese cuisine.
