Was told pick up was 8.00am then they changed it to 7.25 am and to be there 10 mins early we did not mind that . Then they eventually pick us up at 8am. So 35 mins late ☹️☹️
We had the best tour guide… Andy was awesome - educated us about the culture, locals, and was super friendly and fun!! The whole experience was so incredible!!!
Wonderful excursion with Antonio to the Mekong Delta, very interesting and how He is a wonderful guide, many explanations of everything in the environment and the Vietnam War.
Beautiful experience, beautiful places, excellent.
This tour was amazing. We did a little bit of everything to introduce us to life in the Mekong Delta. The guide was very knowledgeable and he made the trip so much fun. I learned so much about life in this part of Vietnam and was able to really step out of my comfort zone including holding bees, an anaconda and trying wine that had a cobra fermenting in it for 12 years!! Great experience.
The Mekong Delta is the most beautiful city in Ho Chi Minh City. We had a small group tour (max 12 people maae we wareb with 8), Everything was well arranged without feeling massive and the guide (Justin) was friendly and professional. The lunch was also very good and extensive compared to many other “set menu” lunches included in tours. If you really want to experience the Mekong Delta I would go for a longer stay, but to get an insight this is a great option. Also fun with children!
It was a great tour, we enjoyed the individual elements. Our guide Ele and driver (Tein) were both great, Ele was very knowledgeable and energetic throughout the day. We would certainly recommend this tour. Thanks
A perfect day. Many thanks to our great tour guides.
We had a nice day in the Mekong Delta crossing the river with a motorboat and a trip in small rowboats on the canals of one of the islands. We were in a small cozy group and That was a very good and friendly guide who spoke good English and had a lot to say about the region.
Everyone was kind and fun♪ I thought it would be more fun to study English more, so I'll come back when I learn English lol
