Hannah was a great host to a brilliant Mekong Delta day trip
My adult family and I have just returned from a very enjoyable and informative trip to the Mekong Delta. Hannah, our fantastic host met us at our hotel with a driver and minibus and two hours later we were on a small, comfortable wooden boat (with sun shade). The day included a visit to a bee / honey farm, a coconut and fruit farm, a coconut artisan sweet factory plus a large, delicious and varied lunch. Then on to a breathtaking Temple. I can highly recommend the day trip - and keep your fingers crossed that Hannah is your host.

I had little time to spend in HCM city and it was the perfect tour to see everything in one day. Max made it more interesting by describing the whole history of Vietnam with passion.

A great family day out
A fantastic experience for our family, the kids loved seeing all the sights and learning about the rich culture and history, we got the lunch included which made it a lot easier, Bao was a fantastic guide, extremely knowledgeable and answered all the kids questions (there were a lot) they were on time with the pick up and the logistics were managed well as we travelled in comfort, would highly recommend this tour to any first time visitors - especially families - to Ho Chi Minh

Mekong delta, coconut village, honey bee tea, folk singing
Great day of activities, all planned and coordinated well. Van was air conditioned, lots of the walking was done for you via tuk tuk cars, snacks and lunch provided. If you have peanut allergies there is cross contamination so I would be wary, I don’t have that allergy but it was an issue for some people in the group.
