Fun day out but maybe a bit expensive to do private

Was what was described but felt it was expensive for what it was. Maybe consider group not private if wanting to save money. Guide was good not too chatty which we liked. Food was lovely but be warned the fish has bones. Hubby had to have one removed from his throat in hospital.

3 tours with MDC

Lilly and her team at MDC are fantastic. We made contact via whatsapp in July. She gave so much information about what trips to do. We had many many changes of schedules and what we wanted to do on tours, lilly was always helpful and understanding of our needs as we have a very big young family. 5 children ages 16 15 13 10 4 After a few months of back and forward we locked in 2 tours. 1. The ben tre mekong day trip from HCM which was amazing! Definitely had the best boat on the river to. 2. Cu chi tunnels day trip from HCM. It was so informative and we all really enjoyed learning about the tunnels and also shooting the M16 guns( this was an optional extra) on the way home the BEST Bo Bun beef soup so good! We had a late flight home this day so the guide was happy to move the tour along at a quick pace for us so we still had plenty of time to shop in HCM before flight home. Prior to these 2 tours we decided we wanted a last minute motor bike food tour in HCM. Lilly organised this within an hour! An hour later at 630pm we were all on motorbikes enjoying the city and food tour with simply the best guides! All the kids and my wife had there own driver, I was with a driver and our 4 year old on the front of the bike. What an experience for my family!!! Thank you lilly!
