A lot for a price
James_V, May 2024
All in all, this excursion was fun. We saw a lot in the same amount of time we had. We ate delicious vietnamese food. And saw breath taking views. The minus one star because every place we went was a power walk. We definitely didn't need to go to the roadside attraction. I wanted to enjoy the places we went to. All in all, I would recommend this tour if you're able to keep up because our feet hurted at the end of the day.
Response from Host, May 2024
Xin Chao, James. We're delighted to hear that you had a fun experience on our Cu Chi Tunnels, Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mount tour and enjoyed the delicious Vietnamese food and breathtaking views. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we apologize if the pace of the tour felt rushed at times. We strive to provide a balance between seeing many attractions and allowing enough time to fully enjoy each stop. We'll take your comments into consideration to improve our future tours. Thank you for recommending our tour, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience! Sam advisor@asianalink.com
A rapid-fire way to experience famous sites!
Justin_P, Apr 2024
This was a great, easy, and relaxing way to accomplish a lot of different sites in a 12-hour day. Cu Chi Tunnels, Ba Den, and Cao Dai are not very close to each other but they are all very worthwhile places to visit to learn more about the wartime history and religious cultures of Vietnam. The can ride between Saigon and the countryside was very scenic and our tour guide Tom did a great job keeping us engaged during the drive while providing enough time for us to rest/nap. We highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2024

A great day!
Katie_B, Apr 2024
A fantastic tour led by Tuyen, who was brilliant! Tuyen was funny and knowledgeable, and his English is excellent. We ended up doing the tour in reverse order as he got word that the Ba Den Mountains were very busy in the morning; as a result, none of the places we visited were very crowded, which was great! Lunch was DELICIOUS and waaaay more food that two people could have possibly eaten. All the stops were great. I definitely recommend if you want to see sights out of the city! It's a long day, but definitely worth it in my view.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Xin Chao, Katie. Thank you for your wonderful feedback. It sounds like you had an amazing experience on your tour led by Tuyen. We're thrilled to hear that he provided such excellent guidance and made the day both enjoyable and informative. It's great that he was able to adapt the itinerary to ensure you had the best possible experience, and it's always a bonus when lunch exceeds expectations. Thank you for recommending the tour for those seeking sights outside of the city—it's wonderful to know that it was worth the time invested. If you ever find yourself back in the area, we'd love to have you join us again for another adventure! Best regards, Sam advisor@asianalink.com
Not value for money
Liz_D, Apr 2024
This was a 12 hour day. 8 of these were spent in the minibus. The 3 activities are too far from HCMC and apart. With the traffic to contend with you get no time at the venues, it was all a rush to get around back to the mini bus. We had a 1 hour break for lunch which was nice, but we were exhausted when we returned to the hotel due to the very, very long day in the mini bus. These 3 activities should not be included in 1 tour
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Xin Chào, Liz, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your recent experience with us on our Small-Group 1-day tour to Cu Chi Tunnels, Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mount. Your input is truly appreciated, and we apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered during the tour. We want to clarify that the total duration of the tour, as outlined on the Viator product page, includes time spent at each destination. The Black Virgin Mountain is convenient 15 minutes from The Cao Dai Holy See, and the Cu Chi Tunnels are on the halfway back. We believe that all three destinations offer unique and worthwhile experiences, but we understand that individual preferences may vary. We apologize that you were not prepared for a full day of travel. Moving forward, we will make efforts to improve communication to avoid any misunderstandings. Additionally, we want to emphasize that the tour provides all-inclusive expenses such as door-to-door transfers by air-conditioned minivan, cable car rides, entrance tickets, meals, and more, offering great value in our opinion. Thank you once again for sharing your concerns with us. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience. Warm regards, Sam advisor@asianalink.com
Not happy
Yevheniia_O, Mar 2024
I do not recommend this tour. It is overpriced and most of the time you will be in a car traveling from one place to another one. Lunch was terrible.

An excellent tour experiences
Sandra_C, Nov 2023
The whole experience iOS something different, especially the Cao Dai temple is so iconic and the black mountain is really beautiful. No to be missed if you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City. The tour guide Win from Asiana link tours is very informative, caring and patient. Iris from Viator is very dedicated, and caring from the time I booked the tour to the end of the tour. Both are definitely an asset to their company.

Temple visit is the highlight; Cu Chi holes are filled with propaganda.
Christopher_H, Apr 2023
As a Vietnam vet who was returning for the first time in 50 years, a visit to the tunnels seemed imperative as they were much of the focus in my small part of the US was effort (the Army Military Intelligence Officer responsible for accounting for enemy strengths and losses the last year of our advisory presence). While the tunnels are real and a good demonstration of the determination of the NVA / VC / NLF forces, the narrative is 50% Communist Party revisionist history. I expected as much and wasn't disappointed. The Cao Dai Temple on the other hand was worth the prior frustrating expience - it was both architecture and event. Our bus arrived at the perfect time to get arrayed in the tight entry to the temple to observe the daily mid-day gathering of followers in prayers. The building is elaborate and unique in symbology. The tour photos are what you'll see, and this temple and ceremony is among the top of the dozens of temples and mosques we'd visited in four countries. Recommended, but bring some patience for the tunnels.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Xin Chào, Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on your recent visit to Vietnam as a Vietnam veteran. It's great to hear that the Cao Dai Temple was a worthwhile experience for you, and that you were able to witness the daily mid-day gathering of followers in prayers. It's always fascinating to learn about the architecture and symbolism of religious buildings and to witness the practice of different faiths. It sounds like you had a mixed experience, with the tunnels being somewhat disappointing in terms of the narrative presented It's important to acknowledge that different historical narratives can exist and be presented in different ways depending on the context and perspective of the presenter. Thank you for your review and for your service to our country. I hope you were able to have a meaningful and fulfilling trip overall. Best regards,
Too much travel in one day
Darren_J, Dec 2022
I do not recommend this tour. It is overpriced and under delivered. Most time is spent travelling which means both attractions on the same day isn’t practical. Cu Chi Tunnels was far too rushed. Although the tour guide is knowledgeable and answered questions, he didn’t engage personally and it felt he was just running a script.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Xin Chào, Darren! Thank you very much for taking the time to share this review. We appreciate your time and feedback us. We take noted and try to adjust the timing and itinerary for better service. If you travel back next time, please kindly contact us direct so our advisors and learn your request and accommodate it well. Once again, thank you so much for using our service. Best regards!
Great tour

Very well organized. Loved the tour. Food was great. We particularly liked the 1000 linga tour. Guide was professional and friendly
Optimiser ses visites autour de HCM
Ophelie_D, Apr 2024
L’expérience était vraiment super ! Avec ma sœur, nous cherchions un tour qui nous permettait de faire Bà Đen Mount, le temple Cao Đai et les tunnels de Cu Chi le même jour pour optimiser les trajets en voiture et c’était vraiment très pratique. Le guide est venu nous chercher à notre hôtel et nous y a déposé au retour. Je pense que c’est un bon rapport qualité prix car nous avons également eu droit à un très bon repas le midi.
