Reviews
Booked this day tour to Cao Dai Temple and Black Virgin Mountain, and overall it was a great experience. The journey from Ho Chi Minh City to Black Virgin Mountain takes around 2.5 hours, with a washroom break provided along the way for convenience. We had about 2 hours of free and easy time at the mountain, which was perfect to explore and enjoy the surroundings. I chose to take the cable car (450,000 VND), which I paid separately to our tour guide, Danny—it was absolutely worth it for the views. Both destinations are beautiful and meaningful, offering a deeper insight into Vietnamese culture and beliefs. The tour operator, Mikey, managed everything smoothly and sent clear departure details a day in advance, which was very helpful. Our tour guide, Danny, was knowledgeable and informative throughout the trip. Complimentary mineral water ad well as delicious vegetarian lunch were provided. Lastly, special thanks to the tour limo captain for ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride.
thanks to Mr. Happy, saying that Mr. Happy not only arranged a fantastic tour but also gave lively and interesting explanations along the way. From the stunning views of Black Virgin Mountain, to the fascinating history of Cu Chi Tunnels, and the unique culture of Cao Dai Holy See – Mr. Happy made everything clear and engaging. With him as their guide, the whole trip felt safe, enjoyable, and truly special. The traveler really appreciated his hard work and said he would definitely look for Mr. Happy again next time he is in Vietnam.
Our tour today was truly one of the best experiences! It was challenging because of the weather and the holiday crowds, but we were so thankful to have Binh as our energetic and amazing tour guide! 😊 He answered all our questions and was very caring toward my Mom. He accompanied her whenever she got tired and couldn’t walk any further. ❤️ Every tourist spot had beautiful views and great photo opportunities. Binh made sure we had family photos—not only is he a great tour guide, but also an excellent photographer! 📸 He even made sure we had clear shots without people around us. Despite the holiday crowds, Binh always brought us to the best spots. The tour was informative, fun, and enjoyable even for my senior parents. The lunch was delicious too! 😊 Thank you, Binh and your team, for making our tour safe, memorable, and happy! Cảm ơn! 🇻🇳❤️
My partner and I are very happy with this tour. Alice from customer service was very helpful from the moment we booked and kept us updated throughout the process. We opted for the limousine transfer, which was clean & comfy. The lunch provided was really good as well. A special thank you to our tour leader, Duy. She was very knowledgeable about the places we visited, and her local food recommendations were spot on! The view from Black Virgin Mountain was amazing and we absolutely loved it. Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Temple was a great combination of history, culture and scenery. As this was our first time visiting Vietnam, experiencing these places made the tour even more special and memorable for us. Thank you also to our driver for safely driving us throughout the day. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam. Thank you to Alice, Duy, our driver and everyone at SST Travel. Keep up the great work! 🇻🇳❤️
a fantastic tour, jam packed with three amazing stops. Da Ben mountain was lovely, spotted a couple monkeys! the Tay Ninh Holy See temple was beautiful place, also spotted lots and lots of monkeys here too!! finished up with the Cu Chi tunnels visit being last, which was an incredibly educational and great experience. 100% recommend this for a great day trip from HCMC! special thanks to Sam our guide and our group organiser, Alice, who provided information and updates about our tour promptly and was just helpful.
It was an amazing day trip learning and exploring all 3 locations. I would like to first thank Mikey for helping us arranging pickup from the hotel despite staying slightly away from District 1. And also Johnny for being an awesome tour guide giving us insight of each location's history and stories. Highly recommended!
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!
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!
We chose D car's "Cu Chi Tunnels, Cao Dai Holy See, and Ba Den Mountain Day Tour" this time. The trip started at 6:30 AM when the car picked us up from the hotel and took us to various attractions, returning to the city at 7:30 PM. It was a very fulfilling day, and the sights were excellent! However, the main reason this journey was so memorable was definitely our amazing tour guide, Nam! Not only was he professional, but what was most touching was his consistently gentle and polite demeanor. Our guide always had a warm smile and explained the stories behind the attractions in a soft tone. No matter how many questions we asked, he patiently answered each one and constantly paid attention to the well-being of every group member. It's a highly recommended tour.
Really enjoyed this tour from Ho Chi Minh! The Cao Dai Temple was beautiful and Black Virgin Mountain was definitely the highlight for me especially the cable car ride and the view at the top. Everything was smooth and well organized from pickup to drop off. Also shoutout to our guide Duy for being so detailed and easy to follow throughout the whole trip. She explained everything really well and made the experience more fun and interesting. Definitely worth booking if you want a chill and scenic day tour in Vietnam.
