From scenic boat rides to delicious local treats, every moment was memorable. He even sent us a list of great recommendations for other places to visit in Ho Chi Minh. Highly recommend Wing and this tour!

5.00We had Hưng as the tour guide for our business trip and I have to say, we had an amazing time thanks to his great hospitality and knowledge about the city. For 3 days, we were able to explore Ho Chi Minh city and learned a lot about its history. They are also very flexible with the schedule, making sure they accommodate most of our unplanned activities and requests. Highly recommend him!

5.00We are a family group from Indonesia & Japan, and had the pleasure of joining the Mekong Delta tour. It was a truly enjoyable experience, filled with various local activities such as traditional honey-making, banana chips tasting, coconut candy making, and a peaceful boat tour along the Mekong River with the local people. Special appreciation goes to our tour guide, Mr. Hưng Ngô. He was very communicative and provided us with insightful information throughout the tour. He also gave us a deeper understanding of the humble and warm-hearted Vietnamese people. Most importantly, he spoke fluent English and even used some Japanese from time to time, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Your guide has excellent communication skills

5.00Driver and guide were on time and very organized. We opted for a private tour to reduce time and Mia the tour operator was very knowledgeable and helpful. We paddled through the canals of the Mekong Delta and saw coconut candy bring made. We sampled fruits, ginger, coconut and banana, saw a bee hive and enjoyed lemon honey tea. We had an amazing Vietnamese lunch. The day was enjoyed by all

5.00Dingo Chien took me and my family on a day trip to several islands along the Mekong river in Ho Chi Minh City. He is an amazing tour guide who was very accommodating to my family and our needs and assisted in making our day one of the most enjoyable of our whole time in Vietnam. Despite the long day of adventuring and many hours stuck in traffic he was very energetic and friendly the entire time. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide to anyone doing a tour in Ho Chi Minh City as you will be guaranteed a great time.
Good tour and the best guide, Harry!
