We did the day tour to the Cao dai temple and cu chi tunnels with the friendliest kindest man , Tony. Tony is a 78 year old man who is still so active , so out-going and friendly. He first took us to the Cao Dai temple in Tay Ninh and we stayed and watched a small section of the worship at the temple. He was very lovely and organised throughout the trip. He also spoke to one the ‘priest’ (i think) and he was a really nice Cambodian man who lives in Viet nam within the temple area and he also communicated with Tony and was very welcoming to us and Tony translated what he was saying for us. We then proceeded to the Cu Chi tunnels where Tony explained his memories from the war and told us some facts. He also happened to know well a guide in the cu chi tunnels and communicated well with him and us so we had fun but also learnt about the history of Viet nam. We were 4 ladies travelling and he made us feel safe and comfortable. I would really recommend Tony , he was such a nice local and such a funny guy. It’s nice to see such a welcoming person and shows a good representation of the Vietnamese people we have encountered throughout our trip! We wish him all the best and thank him for making us love Viet Nam! Cảm ơn Tony!!
