Great day and great host. The speedboat trip around the mangrove area was amazing and the various different stops along the way were brilliant.
We had a really good day. The driver and guide were really nice and kind. The Island and Boattour were awesome and the Restaurant served good food.
It’s very good tour, we really enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend Saigon Top Tours excellent service to everyone. Thank you very much indeed again for your great service.
Had an easy day excursion out to Monkey Island. We did it ourselves and it is a decent day out. Definitely take the boat out first to the camp and then walk back as it can get quite complicated to get boat tickets. It is quite a good spot to experience the mangroves and some of the Vietnamese culture as well as the Wildlife. Whilst the monkeys are interesting it is still worth keeping a distance especially with young children as they are wild animals.
<p>Understand what you will really be seeing. I booked this trip expecting an outdoor and wildlife adventure when it's really more about the Viet Nam war history. It is an interesting look at recovery of an area that was hit hard by agent orange but certainly not beautiful. I found the monkeys and military music blaring from loudspeakers very creepy and unsettling. Our guide spoke good English and was very good.</p>
<p>This tour might be on the pricey side but its worth it. Its activity packed and well worth the money you spent on it.</p>
