Where does the tour start and how do I get picked up?

The tour includes hotel pickup from District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, between 7:00 and 7:30 AM. Provide your hotel name and address when booking so the guide knows where to collect you.

What is the dress code for the temple and statue?

Thang Tam Temple and the Jesus Christ Statue site require clothing that covers your shoulders, back, and knees. Bring a scarf or light jacket to wrap around yourself at these stops — you can remove it at the beach.

Is there an extra charge on public holidays?

Yes. A surcharge of VND 150,000 per person applies on 1 January, 26 April, 30 April, 1 May, 1–2 September, and 31 December 2026. This is paid directly on the day and is not collected at booking.

Can I bring my young child?

Children under 3 years travel free of charge, but no seat is reserved for them. They must be accompanied by a paying adult at all times. Children aged 3 and above require a paid ticket.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The itinerary is subject to change due to weather and traffic conditions. Your guide will adjust the order or duration of stops as needed to make the most of the day.

Is lunch suitable for vegetarians or those with dietary requirements?

Lunch is served at a local restaurant and is included in the tour price. If you have specific dietary requirements, contact the operator in advance so they can do their best to accommodate you.
