Customizable itinerary
After breakfast, you will be met at the hotel by your private tour guide, ready to depart for a 1,5-hour drive through the hustle and bustle of Saigon, heading northwest (75 km) to Cu Chi, an outer suburb of Ho Chi Minh City.
On arrival at Cu Chi, we will watch a documentary on the interesting history of these amazing tunnels. This will be followed by a two-hour sightseeing trek on foot along uneven mud paths through the bush and, if you choose, crawling through some of these historical tunnels. Nowadays, the Cu Chi tunnel system has been made wider and cleaner to accommodate tourists.
Leaving Cu Chi Tunnels, we will return to our private car and continue another 1 ½ hour drive (60 km) to Tay Ninh to the ‘Holy See’ and see the unforgettable ½ hr Cao Dai service. Cao Dai religion is an indigenous Vietnamese faith that includes the teachings of the major world religions such as Christianity, Buddhism, and Muslim to name a few.
At 12:00: The official service will begin and continue for about 45 minutes, plenty of time for observing the strangest religion of the world and taking wonderful photos. Following the ceremony, we’ll transfer (10mins drive) to have lunch. As restaurants are limited in this area, the meal is simple but satisfying.
After lunch, drive 3 hours (100km) back to Ho Chi Minh City. Stop en route to visit a Lacquer Factory where those with disabilities work and produce delightful handicrafts.
At 5:30 pm: End of a great day as we return to your hotel.

Reviews on Our Service
Incredible Vietnam experience with Tony
Fantastic
Great company, great service
Amazing People and Great Service
We travelled for 7 weeks so the tour that we structured gave us a great mix of guided and free time. We were able to see the normal tourist sites, as well as spend some in-depth time in the villages and communities. This gave us a much greater insight into life in Vietnam and Cambodia. All I can say is that they are amazing and incredible people!
Our guides were great. Our drivers were safe and looked after us very well. I would not recommend anyone try driving on thier own if you are coming from a country where people obey the traffic laws. We learned over time that is is actully very organized chaos!
If you are looking for a great agency, we can assure you that Asia Pioneer cares about you and will look after you with every detail!
Thank you to Mr. Lam and the entire staff.
