We all had a great day out with ‘handsome’ Kevin (Thuan) as our very funny but informative guide who looked after all of us extremely well. The tour itself was a great mix of boat, bus and tuk-tuk rides, with visits to a bee farm, coconut candy village and a bamboo and silk store. We had a downpour just before lunch which delayed things a little, but we enjoyed the break watching the tropical rainstorm.
It was very good. The tour guide was very funny and kind and helpful, and we had lots of fun experiences. Definitely would do again. Thanks Kevin 👍🏻
It Was very nice experience for Vietnam
We had a very nice day. Kevin our local guide was great!
This was a great day, the guide Twan was fantastic and very informative, spoke English very well, food was also good, very friendly staff, definitely recommended this tour to learn so much.
The "one day round trip" included everything we were promised to see/visit and the guide exceeded our expectations - extraordinerally pleasant and knowledgeable, on the tour aspects. and general Vietnam data. The only downside was the size of the car - you cannot comfortably sit 4 adults +guide +driver +purchased items along the tour in a saloon car (though the driver was competent and cautious).
Courageous,helpful and professional
I highly recommend Kevin on this tour he was so informative and knows his history and strong knowledge of the country, shopping food tours etc
Kevin was so friendly and he is patient . We love to explore city with him as he is knowledgeable about Ho Chi Minh City and all over Vietnam . We learnt so Vietnam words too.
We had a wonderful morning on a Cyclo Tour of China town markets of fresh fruits , flowers & produce which also included a tour of a natural medicine museum . We thoroughly enjoyed it & would absolutely recommend, our Tour guide Kevin & Cyclo drivers were amazing.👌😊
