Wonderful trip. Good guide. - The trip was exceptionally well organized. We visited so many things and had such great experiences. If I go back to ho chi minh I would do this trip again. We were a bit unlucky with the guide because hi did not talk too much to us. But he made us feel comfortable and walked us flawlessly through all the stops that we had.

Perfect day on the Mekong - We had the most AMAZING day with Theo today at the Mekong. From the floating market to the on-land market to the noodle making and candy making, sampam through a canal - eating every step of the way - the day was perfect. Theo educated us with his immense amount of knowledge regarding Vietnam history, fruit, animals, the Mekong, the plants, the people etc… He is a man of many talents with his intelligence and humor (and I suspect) an excellent singing voice. I heard a few notes in the car. A shout out to our driver too. They made a great team. I highly recommend this tour and Theo.

Even Japanese who don't speak English well 👌 - I was a guide in English at first, so am I okay? I thought that was the case, but the guide told me about the interpreter (smartphone) It was good that they explained in Japanese using the Of course we were able to see a lot of things… but we changed vehicles depending on the location, so it was fun. And anyway, food comes out a lot The Vietnamese food for lunch was of course very filling with fruit, sweets (banana chips) and tea in places. If you eat well, I recommend it. Vietnamese food is sweet and delicious fruit that was delicious 😋 The guide was very kind to me Thank you very much. I had a great day.

Must Do Experience! - From the booking to the drop off, everything was delivered in a very professional, efficient and smooth manner. Tom our guide was amazing, excellent knowledge which he shared in excellent English. He was happy and very helpful, taking time so my elderly mum did not have to rush and could enjoy the days experience. The river market is was really interesting, our boat captain was very kind and the stop at the rice vermicelli pizza place we loved-very tasty! The land food market was great too, so interesting to see all the market traders with their produce. As we have a long and busy day tomorrow, we asked to head back to our hotel after the lunch stop. This stop was fabulous, lived making the pancakes, all the food was delicious-but too much for us! Our driver Jerry was great too, good natured and friendly driver.

DO NOT DO THIS TRIP... save your money.... choose another.... - Couldn't recommend anything less...... :-( .... I booked this trip for my Brother and his wife... the market doesn't really exist any more (which they could have told us) so it was a complete waste of money $225 all inclusive trip ! and 6 hours travel time (3 hours there and 3 hours back).... on top of that they were asked to pay additional fees for vendors and other things... making the trip an absolute rip off in my opinion... very annoyed. Why not just tell people that since covid, the market doesn't exist anymore and recommend a trip that people might actually enjoy... poor advert for Vietnam and the company ! There is so much to see in Vietnam... DO NOT PAY FOR THIS
