What you can expect

Visit 2 of Vietnam's most striking sites and get a glimpse into both modern practices and historic events. This private tour takes you to the amazing Cao Dai Temple where you can attend a monk prayer session, then shows you the Cu Chi Tunnels that played an important role during the Vietnam War.

Head to Cao Dai Temple in the morning following convenient pickup from your hotel. The complex, which houses both administrative buildings and the Great Temple, features astoundingly elaborate architecture coloured in a vibrant, eye-catching palette. Both the interior and exterior of the temple are detailed with religious iconography, which you can admire as you explore the place. Step into the vaulted halls of the Great Temple to witness one of 4 daily monk prayer sessions. As you watch the procession, learn about the practices of Caodaism, a uniquely Vietnamese religion.

In the afternoon, transfer to the historic Cu Chi Tunnels. Just one part of an extensive network of tunnels that underlie Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels are famous for their role during the Vietnam War. Learn of their importance as hiding spots, communication and supply routes, and living quarters during the war. After exploring the narrow, subterranean routes and listening to stories from your guide, end your tour by returning to your hotel.
