Fantastic Day - We really lucked out having such an informative, polite and funny tour guide in Bin. A lot of times tour guides can be too much. Bin was fantastic as was this out of the way tour. Spectacular and less visited by the tourist masses. Thanks Bin

Worth the trip! - This was a great day trip form Ho Chi Minh. Whilst a long day (nearly 11 hours) we saw some places that we would not have go to otherwise and was worth the effort. Black Virgin Mountain and Cao Dai temple were interesting, but the highlight was the Cu Chi tunnels at Ben Duoc. We had a fantastic lunch and our tour guide Max did a greta job of looking after us on the day. Thanks Max!!

Definitely one of those WOW moments !! - Highlight of our trip: The Black Mountain Buddha truly took our breath away. The views during each break in the clouds were unforgettable, and catching a glimpse of the Lady Buddha surrounded by mist felt incredibly special. The Happy Buddha with the water display is another memory that will stay with us.
Everywhere we looked, the attention to detail was stunning. I only wish we could have stayed longer—especially in the peaceful Zen garden.
Also we were also lucky enough to witness a prayer service at the temple. I’ve never seen or heard anything like it. Simply amazing.
Lunch was lush too.

Great trip to Black Virgin Mountain - The trip was fantastic. Bin was very knowledgable about everything Vietnamese. The driver was possibly the best in Ho Chi Minh City. Would highly recommend to anyone. The tunnels were very impressive as was the massive Buddha on the mountain

Wonderful trip - Enjoyed this trip very much. Max was a great guide and everything well organised. Interesting to see something of the countryside on the drive to the mountain and wonderful views up the top. Nice also to escape the heat . I loved the black lady statue and the Buddha with fountain display. The cable car and whole facility is almost brand new and beautifully done with several restaurants and some shops and clean restrooms.
Also enjoyed the temple visit and then on to the tunnels which was a wonderful if sad experience. I passed on getting into the little manholes as feared would not make it out again but managed down the first level of several bunkers without too much difficulty. Very distressing to see something of the booby traps but gained some understanding of how awful it must have been for everyone involved in awful war.

Our guide, Max, was just... - Our guide, Max, was just amazing! He was so knowledgeable and eager to explain the history of the Black Virgin mountain. He took incredible care of us while we were with him. This is not a place many Westerners ever go to, but I highly recommend it and the views of Vietnam & Cambodia are stunning!
The Cai Dao temple was a stunning wonder! I was not expecting all the beautiful carvings and vibrant colors!!
Our visit to the Cu Chi tunnels was a true highlight of our adventure. Being old enough to remember the Vietnam war was and to see firsthand what our G.I's experienced in the jungles of this region was just an incredible and moving experience.
This adventure is a long day and how our driver maneuvered in the heavy traffic was a marvel in itself!!!! I can recommend this tour, or Max as a guide, highly enough!!!
