          Overview of an Engaging Ho Chi Minh City Tour
          One of my favorite parts of the tour was the visit to a coffee shop in Chinatown - definitely try the coconut ice coffee if you get the chance! Our guide was fantastic. He shared a wealth of knowledge at each stop and was ready to answer any questions we had. He was friendly and approachable, making the experience even more enjoyable.

          Great food, disappointing trips and a lot of travelling.
          We actually did the reverse cruise from Phnom Phen to Saigon. Though advertised as a 3 day 2 night cruise we spent less than 24 hours on the boat. The boat was ok, the food excellent. The side trips average. Just some advice, read between the lines. It's as advertised but we hadn't appreciated that we would spend 4 hours on the speed boat having spent 90 minutes waiting for the boat, trip was fine along the Mekong, but arrived in the dark with no-one to greet us, though hotel was next door. The Victoria, which was great. Next day a three hour taxi to the boat, interesting travelling through the countryside and towns. Boat left about 12pm. After the cruise we disembarked at 8am and had some trips. The Sampan ride was short and quiet a disappointment. Three hour taxi to Saigon then, though a nice lunch stop was included. Overall, we didn't think it was worth what we paid. And keep your cash close, we were 2million short when we checked our money later.

          A fascinating journey
          Starting in My Tho, I was amazed by the serene canals and lush greenery. The boat ride through the tranquil waters was peaceful, and it was exciting to see traditional wooden boats and vibrant gardens along the banks. It felt like stepping into a different world.

          Engaging tour!
          The crew on the boat was fantastic! They were friendly and accommodating, making sure we had a great time. Their knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour even more engaging, and I felt well taken care of throughout the journey. One of the highlights of the tour was enjoying delicious local cuisine. Stopping at riverside eateries to sample fresh seafood and traditional dishes was a treat. Eating by the water while soaking in the scenery made every meal even more enjoyable.

          A fascinating journey@
          This tour was an engaging experience that allowed us to explore the city from a different perspective. Gliding along the tranquil waterways, I was amazed by the lush vegetation and vibrant floating markets along the river. Our guide was great, sharing fun facts about the local culture and history that really made each stop feel special. I loved chatting with the locals, trying fresh fruits, and watching them work on their traditional crafts. It was a fantastic mix of adventure and getting to know the real Ho Chi Minh City—definitely a trip I won’t forget!

          Funny experience!
          It was a great experience! We were introduced to a lot of local culture and enjoyed delicious food, especially regional specialties. The trip was well organized, although we had to wake up early to go to the floating market, it was worth it. The boats sold a lot of things to buy, which was different. The overall experience was worth it and I would definitely recommend it. Our tour guide did a great job, making the trip even more enjoyable.

          Great Experience
          My tour guide was so AMAZING! I was traveling alone, and she was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Thanks to her, I gained a lot of information, especially knowledge I didn't have before! I give her my highest recommendation and will definitely take another tour with her in the future!

          Great Cultural and Culinary Tour
          We had an amazing trip and absolutely loved it. Our tour guide was wonderfully kind and friendly, making the experience even better! Despite it being our first time on a motorbike, we felt safe and comfortable with our drivers. Not only did we get to sample so many delicious local dishes, but we also learned a lot about the history and culture from our tour guide. This is definitely a must-do in Ho Chi Minh City!

          An unforgettable journey through the Mekong Delta
          The Mekong Delta was absolutely wonderful. Our tour guide spoke impeccable English and had a knack for keeping us both informed and entertained with his humor. The itinerary included a scenic boat ride through the Mekong Delta, visits to a honey bee farm and coconut candy factory, and navigating smaller boats through narrow river channels. It was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my time in Vietnam. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour-it's a solid 5/5 with no hesitations

        Strongly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in exploring the culture of floating markets because Cai Be and Tan Phong are the typical ones of Mekong Delta. Visiting the orchard and enjoy fresh fruits are also fascinating. Couldn't more pleasant with amazing experiences!!!
