Fantastic time with Tom exploring the Mekong! - We had an excellent tour led by Tom via Joy Journeys. In fact we were supposed to go on the group tour and Joy Journeys went out of their way to make a private tour happen for us when a group tour was not possible at the last minute. Tom spoke impeccable English and was extremely knowledgeable. He was so fun to hang out with and explore the Mekong - always free for fun chats and to take photos. We loved spending time with him and would recommend Tom as a tour guide and Joy Journeys to anyone. Thank you!

Great experience - This tour was fantastic. Beautiful views, and fantastic atmosphere. Different feeling from the other tours we’ve been on. Safa was a perfect guide for us. We only had a small group, so we got to know him well. He was personable, knowledgeable, and had lots of stories. Really fun.

Fun, informative, and comfortable - Travis was an excellent tour guide for the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta. His English speaking abilities are fantastic and he shared so much knowledge about the history and culture of the area. He was fun to have as a guide and we enjoyed the tour. The car transportation was comfortable and nicely air conditioned! The lunch we enjoyed on the island in the Mekong River was one of our favorite meals we’ve had in Vietnam!
