Very friendly and Kind Tour Guide. The Tour was very fun and Perfect for Families and friends. The Dinner was big and very delicious. All in all it was a great tour and I would recommend it.
The Mekong Delta tour was a fun and exciting tour for us with an amazing guide to show us around. Lewis (Vietnamese Tom Cruise) cracked in witty jokes to keep us entertained throughout while also explained the significance of the places we visited clearly and in detail. He also made sure to take many pictures and videos for the group, helping us capture a very memorable expedition. Everything was arranged for a smooth tour and this was when the visit arranged in a short notice. The tour was very relaxing, informative and made us experience the rich culture of Vietnam and try out the local delicacies. Would highly recommend this expedition and a definite value for money.
