Absolutely amazing ❤️
My family and I did this tour and it was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide Loi was friendly, accommodating, had lots of knowledge about Vietnam history, spoke fluent English. The stops we made were interesting and worth seeing, especially the cable car trip to the top of the mountain. It was spectacular. I would stay there whole day if I could. I highly recommend this tour company and this tour.

AMAZING TRIP IN BA DEN MOUNTAIN
Visiting Núi Bà Đen was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip. Known as the highest mountain in southern Vietnam, it offers a perfect mix of adventure and breathtaking scenery. I started my journey early in the morning, choosing to take the cable car to enjoy a panoramic view from above. As the cabin slowly rose, I could see vast green fields, winding roads, and clouds drifting below me—it felt like stepping into another world. The view was truly awe-inspiring. At the top, the atmosphere was peaceful and refreshing. The air was cooler, and the scenery was simply magnificent. I visited the temple, took photos at scenic viewpoints, and spent some time just enjoying the quiet beauty of nature. For those who love adventure, hiking up the mountain is also a great option. What made the experience special was not just the view, but the feeling of escaping the busy city and reconnecting with nature. It was both relaxing and inspiring. If you’re looking for a destination that combines natural grandeur and cultural significance, Núi Bà Đen is definitely worth a visit.
Response from the operator: Xin chao, Thank you so much for your beautiful and detailed review! We’re truly delighted that visiting Ba Den Mountain became such a memorable highlight of your trip. Your description perfectly captures the magic of the experience — from the breathtaking cable car views to the peaceful atmosphere at the top. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed both the natural beauty and the cultural aspects of the destination. Moments like these — escaping the busy city and reconnecting with nature — are exactly what we hope to create for our guests. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for more inspiring journeys in Vietnam! Asiana Link Team

Fascinating Day
Ba Den Mountain is an amazing tribute to a multi-faceted land and culture. In contrast, Cu Chi Tunnels are a chilling reminder of dark time. And the Cao Dai Temple is a beautiful expression of how much we all have in common and what we're capable of. We also enjoyed the extra stop to learn about the making (by hand) of the many beautiful lacquered products available in Vietnam. Our lunch stop was at a restaurant that served a plentiful selection of freshly made local dishes. Our ever pleasant and attentive guide Manh shared an abundance of fascinating information about his country, its history, and its culture. He and his company (Asiana Travel) were by far the most communicative and responsive tour providers we've ever had the pleasure of working with.
Response from the operator: Xin Chao, Michele! Thank you for such a thoughtful and beautifully written review. We’re truly honored that Asiana Link Travel was part of such a meaningful journey for you. From the spiritual atmosphere of Cao Dai Temple and Ba Den Mountain to the powerful history of Cu Chi, we’re glad the contrasts helped you gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s culture and past. Manh will be especially touched by your kind words about his attentiveness, knowledge, and communication. We sincerely appreciate your trust and hope to welcome you again on a future journey.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small-Group 1-day: Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mountain: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Small-Group 1-day: Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mountain cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Small-Group 1-day: Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mountain take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Small-Group 1-day: Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mountain worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 254 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 Small-Group 1-day: Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mountain?
+
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 Small-Group 1-day: Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mountain suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small-Group 1-day: Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mountain?
+
Around 89 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small-Group 1-day: Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mountain 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.
