Heidi Mekong River tour - Heidi was our tour guide and she was very detailed with explaining the lives of the people who lived in that area. She also showed us many different native fruits grown by the farmers. Her work was very meticulous and she took great care of the tour group and was very knowledgeable. She also spoke good english that can be understood easily.
