5.00Had a fantastic day with Thanh. Had been really looking forward to this trip and did not disappoint. Thanh was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we asked. We had a tasting at the coconut stop and also tasted local fruits from the garden we visited. We had a fantastic lunch so much couldn’t eat it all! Then we set off down the Mekong river in boats. It was a great trip and Thanh was excellent.

5.00We had an amazing trip to the Mekong Delta. Our guide, Thanh was really knowledgeable and helpful. He highlighted the unique fruit growing in the delta, demonstrated the candy production process and how King Cobra wine was made. He aided us all, my husband and I plus 5 ladies from Australia & New Zealand on and off the boats. I really enjoyed the drive to our restaurant and the sampan boat trip after lunch. Would definitely recommend this trip.
The best introduction to Vietnam

5.00We had the most amazing trip with Thanh as our guide. Pick up was easy, and each component of the tour fitted seamlessly into the day. Thanh was very knowledgeable about any questions and was super friendly. This trip is perfect for anyone- it appealed to both myself and my dad, we found ourselves deeply immersed in all the culture of Vietnam. Our group was small, of 3 of us but this allowed us to easily ask any questions. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone- it ticks every box!!

5.00This trip is such fun. You get to see some of the best of the Mekong produce. The ivory people at each island or farm greet you with a welcoming drink and a smile. They will show their special area- honey or bees or cocoa or coconut. Special mention of the chocolate and the coconut candy. It’s delicious. Our leader for the day was Thanh. He is knowledgeable and fun, and is so passionate about showing us the best of his country. It was a highly enjoyable experience, and I fully recommend this tour, and Thanh!
