5.00What an amazing time we both had. Chau was a fantastic guide who chatted a long the way. After a morning of cycling we were heading for a spot of canoeing, but the heat of the sun sapped our energy. Thankfully Chau took pity on is and let us opt for a lovely shaded boat trip. The captain even let us have a go at driving the boat. Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting HCMC
Wonderful day

5.00Perfect trip to explore the Mekong and local villages outside the classic sightseeing tour: kayaking on the river and cycling in the countryside. The Lee guide is very nice and prepared and are provided water beer fruit and lunch in a cute place frequented by locals. Absolutely recommended for a pleasant and adventurous day that also supports the local community.
Great experience

5.00If you are looking for a day full of experiences without other tourists then this is what you are looking for! Together with guide Quang we got a glimpse of the real Vietnam. Cycling, boating and walking he takes you through narrow streets, the local market and on the water. A fantastic day that we will remember for a long time...
A full day to remember!

5.00We really enjoyed this tour! The combination of kayaking down the river and cycling through the countryside enabled us to venture into places that we wouldn't have gone into otherwise. As advertised, it is a genuine experience that is off the beaten track and does not feel "touristy" at all. Do not let the price put you off, you get what you pay for and it is absolutely worthy. It is long, physical, and extremely rewarding. Truly exceeded our expectation. Our guide Quang did an excellent job, he is a very nice, helpful and thourough young man, and his hard work made this a day to remember.
