5.00This tour takes you along the Mekong river near a city called My Tho. Along the way you can check various historical Buddhist temples statues but the main part is taking a boat and enjoying the experience on the river while also meeting the locals and partaking in some of the snack making and other activities. The guide Nicole was great and knowledge with an infectious personality. She spoke English very well and wouldn't hesitate to help you and inform you and anything you needed to know.
Interesting trip!
