Day 2: Saigon – Cu Chi Tunnels – Cao Dai Temple

Today you travel outside of Saigon to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels. The Cu Chi Tunnels are an underground labyrinth of passageways, used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War (or “American War” as it’s referred to here) as protection against American air raids. Those inclined are invited to crawl through selections of the tunnels to better understand what life was like for the Vietnamese soldiers during wartime.

Next you will visit the beautiful Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh and partake in the noontime prayer service. This large and colorful compound is home to the hybrid religion founded in the 1920s: Caodaism, which combines elements of Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Christianity and Islam in order to promote peace. Have lunch in Tay Ninh and return to Saigon in the late afternoon.

Proceed to local cottage industries, home factories to see how rice paste, rice cookies and coconut candies are made, along with the longan fruit drying process. Sail along some of the Mekong’s innumerable branches and creeks and visit local orchards and an ancient house over 170 years old built by the French.

Then cross Tien Giang River, one of the two large “arms” of the Mekong, by motorized boat to visit some fluvial islands and explore the countryside by bicycle. Your driver will be waiting for you on the other side of the river to take you on a 45 minute journey to the largest city in the Mekong: Can Tho, a buzzing town with a lively waterfront and a colorful mix of narrow back streets that make for some rewarding exploration.

Nearly Perfect! What can you say? All went well, good company, good guide and crew etc. And if you're wondering why it's not 10/10; it's because I virtually never give a 10!

1. The Dinner arranged by you at Noir in HMC was wonderful experience and I want to thank you for arranging this unique experience. 2. The guides in HMC were great. Cu-chi tunnel experience was eyeopening and we marvelled at the enterprise, determination and hard work done by Vietnamees people for national independence. 3. Mekong Delta trip was great- ride in small boats was enjoyable experience with the rains contributing to the experience. 4. All Hotel arrangements were great and they had good service and good breakfast. Perhaps you can select less crowded areas if available in same price range. 5. We had significant problem with Vegetarian food / meals as most Vietnamees food did not go well with our stomochs and requirements. Had dinner- lunch at Indian, Italian places. Fruits were great specially Mangoes, Papaya and Guava. 6. Visit to Angkor wat Siam Reap was good but the Guides at temple were not as well informed and they were in a hurry. I did not get to see all Ramayan panels, which was my reason to visit (because the guide says-- all are same fighting scenes and hurried on). Perhaps they can be trained better
