Reviews
We had a fantastic day on this tour with David. He was very helpful and informative. He organised the day around the weather. So we went to the mountain first to make the most of the sunshine. Had a lovely local restaurant lunch. Then headed to Cu Chi tunnels. It was just on dusk and thundering which made fantastic atmosphere. The driver was very cautious driving home in the rain and we felt very safe. A great day out.
Johnny was a great tour guide! he provided us with historical context to understand the culture and history of Vietnam. Black virgin mountain is as going to an amusement park but with historical context. I’m glad I booked this tour!
Wonderful and Informative trip to Cu Chi tunnels. We learned about Cao Daism which was completely new for us. The Buddha statues on Bà Den mountain are a marvel of engineering and worth a visit. Phuoc was very engaging and kept everyone informed based on how long we had been in Vietnam. He ensured everyone had fun during the day.
Today was one for the books! 🇻🇳⛰️ Started the day with an unforgettable trip to Black Lady Mountain (Núi Bà Đen), taking the cable car all the way to the summit. The ride itself offered breathtaking panoramic views, but what awaited at the top was even more incredible—majestic statues, stunning temples, and impressive infrastructure perched high above the clouds. It was a perfect blend of nature, architecture, and spirituality. After taking in the sights, I enjoyed a delicious Vietnamese lunch at a local eatery, savoring authentic flavors that made the experience even more memorable. One of the highlights was learning about Cao Dai, a uniquely Vietnamese religion that beautifully combines elements of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and other faiths. Experiencing its rich culture and peaceful atmosphere made the visit even more meaningful. and thanks to Hung for being the best guide!
overall it is a good experience for a day tour where you can visit 3 place of interest outside of Ho Chi Minh City . The arrangement is good . Alice coordinate and provide detail information about the trip and arranged transportation to pick up us from hotel. Tour guide Mia is very helpful friendly and energetic thru out the tours .
Great experience overall! We booked this tour before arriving in Vietnam, and Elbie from SST contacted us shortly after to confirm our booking. Before the tour, we were informed about the pickup time and introduced to our guide, Eric, which made everything smooth and hassle-free. Black Virgin Mountain was definitely the highlight of the trip. The views were breathtaking, and the experience was well worth it. Lunch was also delicious. Eric was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the tour organized throughout the day. The Cao Dai Holy See was interesting, and the architecture was beautiful and unique. While I enjoyed learning about its history and culture, it would be nice if the tour could offer alternative stops or optional activities in the area. Overall, a well-organized and enjoyable tour. Highly recommended!
What an amazing experience! This whole-day tour was definitely worth it. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and very informative, which made every stop even more meaningful. The places we visited were beautiful and full of culture, and the free lunch exceeded our expectations—it was absolutely delicious. We also had the pleasure of joining a wonderful group of people who made the day even more enjoyable. Everything was well-organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area, and we will surely recommend it to our friends and family!
The tour guide was friendly and proactive, always checking in to ensure we were enjoying the tour. The Alpine Coaster was a highlight and an amazing first-time experience for us. Overall, the tour was great. The only suggestion is to improve the lunch by offering a better selection of dishes.
The Ba Den Mountain, Cao Dai Temple, and Cu Chi Tunnels trip was super exciting and unforgettable! The mountain views were amazing, the temple was so colorful and beautiful, and the tunnels were really cool to explore. I had such a fun and meaningful experience!
The only unfortunate part was the rain during our visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels, but our travel guide did an excellent job ensuring that we were safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the tour. Thank you, Danny!
