An amazing experience - This was without a doubt the best off the beaten track tour experience we’ve ever done. David was unbelievably kind, funny and informative - he made us feel comfortable from the get go - and made the day truly unforgettable. This tour was above and beyond what we expected. If you want a different experience to the usual Mekong delta tours, with adventure around every corner this is the tour for you! I couldn’t recommend more.

Mekong Delta 2 day trip - We went to see a rural, slow-paced life in South Vietnam. Out tour guide, Heidi, was helpful, funny and caring. If you happen two stay in Ho Chi Minh city for a day or two, I'd highly recommend trying it.
