08.00 Meet our guide at your hotel lobby and depart for Cao Dai – The Great Holy See Temple, built in 1926, is considered one of the most striking structures in all of South-East Asia.
It is the headquarters of the unique Cao Dai sect, a religion with a hybrid of Buddhism, Christianity & Confucianism. Above the entrance is the all-seeing holy eye – symbol of the sect. Visitors will attend the midday ceremony’s extravaganza to witness the daily mass held by the Cao Dai followers, which is a fantastic experience.
After lunch, proceed to Cu Chi. We then spend the next hour exploring the maze of tunnels where the Vietnamese could escape bombings, hide from the enemy, and mount surprise attacks. Also on display are various booby traps and the remains of an American tank, as well as numerous bomb craters made by 500-pound bombs dropped by B-52 bombers.
Return to Saigon at 18:00
Note: It is voluntary if you want to go down the tunnels
