I was visiting Ho Chi Minh City for work, and decided to book a tour. Our guide, Mr.Ut, was funny, knowledgeable and really made the trip that much more memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to others!
This tour is interesting and we had a great tour guide, Tony. Recommended.
The trip was good leaded by the good tour guide except the lunch provided. It was not as good as what they posted on the review, the entire group was very disappointed with the food and it was our worst lunch in HCM trip.,
Simple and hassle free itinerary. The tour guide 'Tony' speaks very good english, make it easy for everyone from every corners of the world to understand the trip. Though it is a group tour, everyone get to experience the Mekong comfortably. A less costly and good way for solo traveller like me, to tour Mekong too.
Was a good one. The meal was overwhelming.
