The length of visit is 45 min. They were very professional and organized.
The Mekong Delta was absolutely wonderful. Our tour guide spoke impeccable English and had a knack for keeping us both informed and entertained with his humor. The itinerary included a scenic boat ride through the Mekong Delta, visits to a honey bee farm and coconut candy factory, and navigating smaller boats through narrow river channels. It was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my time in Vietnam. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour-it's a solid 5/5 with no hesitations
My recent visit to HCMC was absolutely incredible! It was truly a wow experience from start to finish. Sunset Cruise and Saigon by Night Tour arranged our trips to the Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels, both of which were impeccably guided and seamlessly executed. Every moment was worth cherishing! I would eagerly travel with them again in the future. A heartfelt thank you to Sunset Cruise and Saigon by Night Tour for making my experience so incredibly worthwhile with their exceptional service.
Our food tour in Ho Chi Minh City was an absolutely delight. In a city as vast as HCMC, booking a scooter tour is highly recommended to venture beyond the typical tourist areas and explore more authentic parts of the city. We sampled a wide variety of dishes, with the option to share portions, allowing us to try everything without feeling overwhelmed. Our guide was exceptional, and my driver ensured we navigated the city safely and smoothly. It was a well-organized and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
The trip was curated excellently, and all the guides demonstrated perfect knowledge throughout. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the journey, and Stella ensured that all our requirements were attentively listened to and flawlessly fulfilled. I highly recommend this experience.
