5.00Took the smaller up to 12 pax tour with my family. We had a really positive experience from the timely pickup, comfortable van ride down south. Stephen our guide had provided us with some fun and interesting facts. Boat ride to the island was really scenic, fun extras (no cost) of holding a piton, bee nest, lunch, was all excellent. The sampan ride was a little busy, but nevertheless very relaxing. Pagoda stop on the way back....All in all, I would do it again.
Mr fa is awesome

She’s amazing.. kept everyone in check… the only thing I will say is that the other tourists on the adventure were super annoying… nothing that is in anyone’s control, just for awareness, keep distance from annoying tourists, book private tour!!! 👍🏼 with Jayce!

5.00Mr. Wing, our guide, was very cheerful and full of a desire to entertain the participants. Not only did they explain the tour, but they also provided a lot of information about good food in Vietnam and things to watch out for while traveling. We went to coconut candy factories, boat cruises in the Mekong Delta, snake wine tasting, photo shoots with very large snakes, lunch and temple tours. I thought this was a very good deal because of the tour. It was fun. Thank you very much.
