Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Private Tour from Ho Chi Minh City 10 hours

Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Private Tour from Ho Chi Minh City

Tay Ninh, near the Cambodian border, is home to the unique Cao Dai sect, whose patron saints include Joan of Arc, Victor Hugo and Winston Churchill to name a few. The religion is an odd mix of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Christianity. The trip to Tay Ninh is combined with a visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels. At its height, the tunnel system stretched from Saigon to the Cambodian border and was three levels deep. Today the remaining tunnels have become a major tourist attraction giving the visitor a unique experience and a feel of what underground life in the war must have been like.

This personalised private tour is one of the best ways to explore and to discover what these cities have to offer to visitors. The local tour operator provides you with an expert guide, and are constantly seeking new ways to bring travellers closer to local cultures. This style of travel offers an alternative to mass market tourism which takes into account local cultural values and economic growth. All tours are low impact on natural resources; are respectful and observant of local customs and traditions, and are supportive of local economies.
