Great experience of daily life of the locals

5.00The tour was great and a wonderful experience for the foreigners who know nothing about the history of Vietnam or about the daily life of the people. Our tour guide Vinh was highly knowledgeable, very friendly, entertaining and extremely caring. He made sure that his group stayed together and also has given enough information and warnings about the things that can go wrong. They were punctual and everything was already organised when we visited every place and hence saved time to visit many attractions. Length of the journey was perfect, started at 7:30 am and ended around 5pm Crowd size was about 40 and everyone had a comfortable and a safe ride in the fully air conditioned tour bus. I highly recommend booking this tour for any individual or a group.

5.00Bao was a fantastic guide and was very funny. He managed the tour times as he outlined at the beginning and especially considering we had a 40 minute delay due to an accident as we entered the freeway. Lovely way to experience the country away from the city and to enjoy some of the lovely food of the region. The various stops are designed to create business in those areas we visited, but it also allowed us to learn about life in those villages.
Amazing Day in the Mekong Delta – Thanks to Bao

5.00Our tour through the Mekong Delta with Bao was an absolute highlight! He accompanied us today and was extremely friendly, warm-hearted, and very funny. His great sense of humor and deep knowledge made the tour both informative and entertaining. A special highlight was the small private tour he gave us at a crocodile farm – an unexpected extra that made the experience even more memorable. It was clear that Bao truly enjoys his job and genuinely cares about his guests. Thank you, Bao, for an unforgettable day in the Mekong Delta. Highly recommended!
