Small group and very well looked after - The tour was everything that was mentioned in the brochure so totally satisfied. Mr Le looked after us and my older big sister very well. He was very attentive and gave us the time to explore without rushing too much. It was a big day and we had great experience.

Nice 1 day trip to Mekong Delta - Well organized tour with our Tour Guide Jackie Hieu. First we visited a Pagoda and got lots of information about religion. After that we went to Mekong Delta visiting different Island seeing a bee farm, a candy factory and doing a short boat tour through the channel. Finally we got a very delicious lunch and got back to our bus by boat.

Amazing tour and amazing tour guide.. - Our group of 10 people was led by the professional tour guide, Jacky Hieu, on an unforgettable journey through the beautiful scenery of Cu Chi, My Tho & Ben Tre, and the lively cityscape. Jacky, with his wealth of experience, skillfully shared the history of each place, keeping us captivated throughout. He warmly catered to all our needs, even going the extra mile to help us find what we were looking for. We are immensely grateful for his outstanding service, and our tours were greatly enhanced by his knowledge and support.
