Overall a really great two-day experience! Nothing was too crowded so wait times for experiences were all reasonable. Much to see and learn about the local life, and Kero facilitated the trip really well to ensure we got the most out of the Mekong Delta. The car ride was smooth, the tour group was small and the ecolodge was really really nice. The bike ride was a great local experience too! The number and pace of activities were just right :)

Kero has a natural talent to combine funny moments with moments of great information about the delta. He did an absolutely fantastic job, thanks again! The tour was well organised and the bamboo resort was a dream. We received a great overview about the delta and would do it again. We were 6 people on this trip and it was kind of familiar.

I had an absolutely great time with our guide Kero on this trip. He was so friendly and enthusiastic and everything went really smoothly. It was a fantastic way to fit in a trip to the Delta on a tight schedule and included many activities which I loved but which I wouldn't have thought to arrange myself. Thank you again!

We had a good two days on this tour. There was a variety of activities each day. We had a small intimate group of 6 people which was great. Our guide Kero was fantastic, he was kind, funny and always made us laugh, well organised too. The accomadation was very nice as we did the 2 day 1 night. The tour feels overpriced for what you actually do. Would be nicer if it was cheaper.

Our guide Ken explained everything great, we were very well looked after. On the second day there were three of us with Ken, floating market , cycling, cooking class, everything was super organized.
