Extra Abe - We had a great tour with Abe, who took us to Tay Ninh Holy See (Tòa Thánh Tây Ninh) and guided us through all three main parts of the site. He was very kind, patient, and informative, and explained everything clearly. Thanks to him we learned a lot about Cao Dai culture and history. Highly recommended if you are planning to visit Tay Ninh.

Great Experience at Cu Chi Tunnels & Tay Ninh - This tour was an amazing way to explore both the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh. Everything was well-organized, informative, and ran smoothly from start to finish.
Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about sharing the history and culture of Vietnam. He explained the complex tunnel system in a way that was easy to understand and made the visit much more meaningful. At the Cao Dai Temple, he gave helpful context about the religion and the unique rituals we witnessed.
It was a great balance of history, culture, and local insight. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get more out of their visit than just sightseeing!
Thanks James!

A bucket list tour for me and I recommend it to anyone who wants the history. - Absolutely incredible tour with a great tour guide who had incredible knowledge of the history of Vietnam 🇻🇳 . Private bus also and we seen and done everything that was advised! For the price it's so worth it and you get a meal that I'd say is worth the price of the tour! No hard selling from the locals that you visit on the way. Well we'll recommend we loved every minute of it!

Trip to the tunnels! - Really enjoyed our trip to the tunnels! Our guide Minh told us a lot about the history of the place which was very interesting and he was very nice! Happy we had him! We did go inside the tunnels, they were quite small but doable! :)
I would recommend to go when you visit Ho Chi Minh

Top experience - Really had a great day, thanks to our tour guide Minh! Super interesting and thought it was not so bad in terms of crowds and tourism. As a history buff this was really special to see and Minh told us a lot about what happened during that time.
