This morning, at 7 AM, get picked up by your personal guide and driver at your hotel stay in Ho Chi Minh City. We will then venture out for our exciting exploration. We will drive to Tay Ninh (approx. 2 hours driving) and you will arrive at Black Virgin Mountain – a mountain with an altitude of 986m, known as the “Roof of the South”. Not only does it have pristine natural scenery, this mountain is also a famous pilgrimage tourist destination with its long-standing spiritual architectural complex.

Here, you will arrive at Lady Pagoda with more than 300 years old, built with majestic architecture nestled in the middle of a quiet green mountain space. We then start our discovery with a walking tour around the complex to see beautiful pagodas and a magnificent Buddha statue at Black Virgin Mountain. There are also a lot of mysterious caves such as Thanh Long cave, Ong Ho cave, Ba Co cave, Ba Tuan cave, Thien Thai cave, Ong Ta cave… feel the serenity of mountain nature.

Around noon, you take the cable car down the mountain, get back on the car to say goodbye to Black Virgin Mountain and move to explore Cao Dai Holy See. The religion preached here is a hybrid of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Christianity. Discover the unique religion and learn about their beliefs, culture, and organization.

Enjoy lunch at local restaurant. 

In the early afternoon, we will return to the station and get back on our vehicle. Along our way back to Ho Chi Minh City, we proceed the tour to visit Cu Chi Tunnels, which is 70 km far from the city centre. These are an immense network of connecting underground tunnels that were the location of military campaigns during American wars. This area is now a “should-not-be-missed” site for all visitors traveling to Vietnam.

We will watch a short introduction video showing the foundation, activities… of Cu Chi tunnels and people lived here in the past then we will crawl all the safe parts of the tunnel system. Meanwhile, you can enjoy some special cassava and tea that served free in the tour.

Later, we can go to the shooting range where we can try to fire real bullets or free for shopping at the souvenir shops. After the tour, you will be escorted safely back to your hotel stay for overnight accommodation. Service ends at your hotel’s lobby in Ho Chi Minh City, finish Vietnam private tour.
