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.

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).
