5.00I recommend this experience, we could see a lot of monkeys, the crocodile farm, the mangrove, some history with reconstructions about the fight against the Americans in the area. Nice walk in a seafood market and an excellent meal at noon! Also to note, the transport was particularly good: new vehicle, air conditioning, compulsory belt and bottle of water. Thanks to Aaron who helped me with the booking, pick up, and made sure our excursion went smoothly!
Wonderful day at Can Gio

5.00A very good experience, the place is incredible, unfortunately we had low tide and couldn't go through the canals by boat. The guide was very friendly and entertaining, with a deep knowledge of the history and the place. It's a highly recommended tour.
