Ms Thanh Nguyen (our guide) was very friendly, informative and helpful. Her explanation allowed us to better understand life staying at the Mekong river. Mr Chi Lang (our driver) is definitely one of the most patience and safest driver we have encountered in Vietnam thus far. Thank you for making this trip a memorable and relaxing one.
