Private Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Temple 1 Day Tour

If you wish to see a mixture of culture and history, join us in our day trip to Private Cu Chi Tunnels & Cao Dai Holy See Temple! You will reach Cao Dai Holy See Temple and attend a morning Caodaism ritual praying held by the Cao Dai followers as well as soak into a local cultural and religious space along with the unique beautiful architectures. Then, we will visit the Cu Chi Tunnels where the fiercest, longest and hardest-fought battles between the Americans and Vietnamese happened.  Located just 60 kms northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, many thousands of people lost their lives here to gain control of the area and ultimately seize control of the city. Here, the Vietnamese took the battle underground, living, eating and fighting from the darkness of 250 kms of painstakingly, carefully-dug tunnels. Today the area is peaceful and serene. Difficult to imagine the hardships that took place there so many decades ago!
