Great Private Tour with Local Food and Shopping
We had a great private tour and really appreciated how knowledgeable Mr. Binh was. He shared a lot of interesting information about the places we visited, which made the experience even more meaningful. One thing we especially liked was that he brought us to a really good local food spot that we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. He also brought us to a great place to buy souvenirs where the prices were much cheaper than the usual tourist shops. Overall, everything went smoothly and the tour was very enjoyable. Highly recommended! 😊

Fascinating experience
We really wanted to see the Caodai Holy See and generally learn more about this fascinating religion. Most group tours didn't seem to offer this or, if they did, they also included Cu Chi Tunnel as part of the experience - which we did not want to do - therefore we decided to book a private tour. The positives: - Good, knowledgeable guide, Mr Harry, that brought us to interesting places - Delicious local food. - Customisable experience: we could ask to replace or add things from the itinerary to customise what we wanted to do - Safe transport and very comfortable There could have been betters: - We had specifically chosen this tour because of all of the incredibly positive reviews of "Mr Binh", reading also that he grew up in a Caodaist family convinced us further, as we were keen to understand the religion from the point of view of someone who has direct ties to the religion. However the evening before Mr Binh informed us that he would not be our guide for the tour. While our guide, "Mr Harry" was good, he did not have the Caodaist background and so could not give the unique perspective that we believed we would get. - We were brought to a place called "Handicap Handicraft" under the guise of a bathroom break rest stop, despite not being listed anywhere in the itinerary. It's not clear what the place is or how much of the proceeds actually go to the handicapped people. The main point is that it's not written anywhere on the itinerary and is therefore impossible to do any prior research of the place beforehand.

Great day tour out to Tag Ninh
We had a great day out with Binh, who took us to the Cao Dai palace and temple, a local market. We also visited a local Buddhist temple. We added Ba Den Mountain to the tour on the way back, and had a really nice lunch of locally caught fish at a farmstay nearby. Binh was very prompt and very communicative, making the logistics very smooth. He is also brought up in the Cao Dai religion so he is very knowledgeable in answering our questions. We would recommend adding the Ba Den Mountain to your tour as well. It is a bit of a strange place as a Westerner but the views are stunning and it's very interesting to walk around.

Awesome day
Wanted a private experience so I could fully appreciate the culture, was not disappointed. Binh was an awesome guide, and I could tell he had a deep appreciation for the Cao Dai religion. It was nice to be guided by someone who is also a follower. After seeing the beautiful ceremony, we had hotpot made with local ingredients, had a nap in a hammock, and enjoyed the peaceful garden. Later we went to Ba Den, and rode a cable car to the top to see lovely Buddhist art, as we well as a great view. A wonderful day, one of the best tours I've been on, much better than the typical tourist things.

Awesome experience with accommodating guide
Attentive and knowledgable guide. Binh is very friendly, punctual and accommodating. The food is tasty and served based on your choice. Interesting religious and cultural itinerary. The trip from HCMC to Tay Ninh is 2hour but it’s worth the time and value for money.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cao Dai Holy See Private Tour | Hidden Gems of Tay Ninh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Cao Dai Holy See Private Tour | Hidden Gems of Tay Ninh cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cao Dai Holy See Private Tour | Hidden Gems of Tay Ninh take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is Cao Dai Holy See Private Tour | Hidden Gems of Tay Ninh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cao Dai Holy See Private Tour | Hidden Gems of Tay Ninh?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cao Dai Holy See Private Tour | Hidden Gems of Tay Ninh suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cao Dai Holy See Private Tour | Hidden Gems of Tay Ninh?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cao Dai Holy See Private Tour | Hidden Gems of Tay Ninh start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
