It was excellent. Everything went well. Overall, very memorable experience.
I had a 10/10 experience with Lockie!!! Best tour guide and singer! I learned a lot about the history and culture of vietnam. Would recommend to everyone!
Excellent tour, very interesting to hear different perspective of the Vietnam War and visiting the Cu Chi tunnels. Tour guide Dragon King was very knowledgeable and entertaining
We had an amazing day exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. The tour was very well organized and packed with activities, with plenty of useful information along the way. The food was also very good! Lockie, our guide, is truly passionate about his work and shared his personal experience as a boat people fleeing Vietnam after the war, which was very interesting and touching. He is friendly, precise, and even delighted us with his singing at karaoke! Highly recommended tour!
Lockie was the best! Good info and better singing.
Absolutely impeccable day out, worth every penny. Our amazing leader Dragon King guided us around with the charisma and knowledge to give napoleon a run for his money. You get to see so many beautiful sites and experience a genuine side to vietnamese culture, making this tour an unmissable part of our itinerary. Would highly recommend EVERYONE does this tour!!
It is definitely worth it, you get very good explanation from the guide. In our case of 'Dragonking' a very friendly man with a good explanation.
Full day with many activities. Everything was great. Our guide shared a lot of information about his country, his practices, and his history. It is a very touristy tour, but it is worth a look. Between the jungle and the Mekong Delta, you are far from the urban activity of Ho Chi Minh.
Great experience with Big Dave / David. He was engaging, gregarious, knowledgeable and fun.
We had an amazing Mekong River trip with the one and only Big Handsome Dave! He kept the whole trip so lively and entertaining that it felt suspiciously short—we were never bored for even a minute. He knew exactly when to entertain us and, just as importantly, when to give us some space to enjoy the peace and scenery. Every arrangement was perfect and everything ran smoothly. We would happily book Big Handsome Dave again for our next guided tour—although next time, please make the trip longer!
