5.00Khoa was an excellent tour guide, the tour was lovely. We saw lots of monkeys, I did get my glasses stolen by one...partially my fault they did warn me. I managed to get them back in the end with an ice cream offering to the monkey.
Great day out

5.00From the moment we booked this tour the group admin (Elise) reached out and was very supportive with pick up point and what we needed to bring. The night before tour David (guide) got in contact with me and let me know where and when to meet even coming to the hotel to collect us. (Bus wouldn't fit down street) we were provided a briefing on what to expect on the tour and off we went. David's knowledge of the area was second to none with lots of information given to us. Travelling with young kids he was very understanding that we might have been a little slower than the rest of the group but helped us as much as he could. 10/10 for this experience

4.00This was a slightly different experience to other tours we did in HCMC during our stay. It was great to get to Can Gio and walk through the lush mangrove forest, pose for pics with the local gangs (of monkeys) and a self-led tour of the guerilla outpost. Highly recommend the speedboat back to see the forest from another perspective.
Great day out, highly recommend!

5.00Well organised and a really enjoyable day. Khanh communicated clearly and provided me with all the information needed the day before and Sam was a wonderful guide throughout the tour. The monkey's really do steal things from you so do be mindful of that - one took my bottle of water :) Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nature orientated day out - plenty of monkeys, crocodiles and wildlife to see.

5.00Going to Monkey Island with Danny was a very nice experience from feeding the monkeys, to seeing the crocodile farm and then going all the way to witness history of the war at the Sac Guerrilla Base - very well worth it.
Enjoyable day
