Interesting tour but poorly timed and didn’t meet expectations

2.00This tour didn’t live up to our expectations. The tour picked us at 7:30am, and from the offset we found our seats very uncomfortable with very little leg room, and the tour guide talked over a microphone for the 1.5hr drive to the cu chi tunnels, which was a lot that early in the morning. The cu chi tunnels were very interesting, but there were a lot of groups and although our guide was very enthusiastic and friendly we couldn’t hear him at times over the other tours. Lunch was good. The afternoon then started to go down hill. We went way over time, 2.5 hours, and the guide didn’t keep us updated on timings or provide us any real insight into why we ran so late. The Mekong delta wasn’t what we expected, but this wasn’t helped by the fact we were doing most of it in the dark. Even at 6pm we were adding in small stops which we felt were unnecessary. A lot of stops also felt like money grabs with people selling to us and/or looking for tips for any service provided. We left the last stop at 6:30pm (the original end time for the tour) and got back just after 8:30pm to our hotel. We missed our dinner reservation and were exhausted and mildly irritated by the whole afternoon.
