Entertainer as a guide.

5.00Very entertaining. Lockie wanted to make sure everyone was having a great time with his singing abilities and his knowledge of Vietnam history. Also appreciated very well timed restroom breaks. Hero, the driver, was silent but very much a safe driver. As congested the traffic was, we never had any reasons to be nervous with his calm demeanor.
Great experience with Theo

Fabulous day tour to Chi Chi tunnels/Meekong Delta River and coconut village.

5.00Brilliant day, Dragon King our guide was very knowledgeable and informative about Vietnam. The Chu Chi Tunnels was a great insight to the Vietnam war of the 1960/70’s. The Meekong River tour and Sampan ride along the river was fantastic and the crafts they displayed also very good and very cheap too. It’s a long day but so worth it and 10 out of 10 to Dragon King. Thank you.
Great full day experience

5.00Justin was fantastic, super attentive and genuinely friendly throughout. The experience lasted the whole day, but it was filled with a wide variety of activities, so it never felt long or boring. Honestly, it’s a 100% must-do if you’re visiting Vietnam.
History, Fun, & Culture! Mekong Delta a Fun Surprise!

5.00This was a lot of fun, in a sort of surprising way! I booked this primarily to see the Cu Chi tunnels, but at the end of the day it was actually the tour elements surrounding the Mekong Delta that I found the most fun and interesting. The tunnels were very informative, and still an amazing experience from a historical perspective. That said, from a practical perspective there isn't much to do or see. The boat rides and cultural experiences on the Mekong Delta were surprisingly a lot of fun, especially the 4-person row boat. Ultimately it's a great 1-2 package. You get history at the Cu Chi tunnels, and then fun and culture at the Mekong Delta. I recommend!
Perfect HCMC overview tour.

4.00An excellent day trip from Ho Chi Minh. Our tour guide Phillip was excellent - telling us about the history of Vietnam, the tunnels and Mekong Delta during the journey and throughout the day. The lunch was great - but you do have to buy your own drink. You are provided with one bottle of water during the day, so I would recommend bringing enough for yourself - but you can always buy it during the day. It is a lot of time travelling, but I would say if you are short on time it is worth it if you would like to see both these places. There was a toilet break on the journey there, but not between the lunch place and Mekong Delta, or between Mekong Delta and home - which were long journeys, so do factor that in and would be beneficial if a quick stop was offered for people during these long journeys.

4.00An interesting day learning about the Vietnam war and then the food/drink of local people. Our tour guide was brilliant, both enthusiastic and entertaining. We were served a nice lunch but a lot of time was spent on the bus.
