Toan was a fantastic guide. He was an amazing communicator and explained so much. He made the experience so much fun for myself, my wife and our daughter. It was a great day
Fun Mekong Delta experience. Great guide Leo
My adult family and I have just returned from a very enjoyable and informative trip to the Mekong Delta. Hannah, our fantastic host met us at our hotel with a driver and minibus and two hours later we were on a small, comfortable wooden boat (with sun shade). The day included a visit to a bee / honey farm, a coconut and fruit farm, a coconut artisan sweet factory plus a large, delicious and varied lunch. Then on to a breathtaking Temple. I can highly recommend the day trip - and keep your fingers crossed that Hannah is your host.
I had little time to spend in HCM city and it was the perfect tour to see everything in one day. Max made it more interesting by describing the whole history of Vietnam with passion.
A great fun day. Khun is a good guide full of information and very engaging. Lunch was delicious and the scenery amazing. Be sure to pack a rain coat though!
The Mekong delta with Hana was amazing experience. We took some very beautiful photos. Hana was very nice, she explained us everything and take care of us.
A fantastic experience for our family, the kids loved seeing all the sights and learning about the rich culture and history, we got the lunch included which made it a lot easier, Bao was a fantastic guide, extremely knowledgeable and answered all the kids questions (there were a lot) they were on time with the pick up and the logistics were managed well as we travelled in comfort, would highly recommend this tour to any first time visitors - especially families - to Ho Chi Minh
Great day of activities, all planned and coordinated well. Van was air conditioned, lots of the walking was done for you via tuk tuk cars, snacks and lunch provided. If you have peanut allergies there is cross contamination so I would be wary, I don’t have that allergy but it was an issue for some people in the group.
Had a blast. Our tour guide Eddie was great, very knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend this tour and do it again if we come back
Very nice tour! Many beautiful views of the Mekong river, all we could ask for a one day tour. Our guide Eddi was fantastic, very knowledgeable with an excellent english and more importantly, very kind. Thanks you again. Gilles
