To book as soon as you can: Mekong 1-day discovery - Great experience with Typhoon Honey as a guide and Phước as a driver.
We went visiting Ben Tre and surroundings with amazing places, boat trips in Nature, surprising and exquisite food. The car was comfortable and conversation about history precious.
Highly recommended!!!

A day exploring the Mekong river delta. - This trip was a great way to explore some of the places and culture of the Mekong Delta. Khang (guide) and Van (driver) did a fantastic job. They looked after us very well. Khang was very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the day, and I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone.

A lovely day! - We had an amazing day with Khang as our guide. We saw many aspects of the delta and had a delicious lunch. All aspects of the day were well-organised and planned and we moved seamlessly from one activity to the next. Khang provided excellent commentary throughout.

Great day - Khang was a superb guide. Informative and interesting, well organised and thoughtful. We experienced a variety of travel (taxi, tuk tuk, river cruiser and rowing boat) and interactions with bee keepers, coffee makers, cocoanut cooperatives and Buddhas.
A great break from work and an unforgettable day, Thoroughly recommended

Great trips made even better by Ben our tour guide! - We booked two trips with Ginkgo Voyage. The Mekong delta & half day Cu Chi Tunnels (private trips). Both were amazing and we learnt a lot however the best part was our guide Ben. He was incredible, full of so much knowledge & taught us so much more than we expected. Highly recommend this company to everyone.

Great day on the Mekong Delta! - We had such a great day today, Jason was one of the best tour guides we’ve had in our 3 weeks of travelling through Vietnam. He was very informative and helpful. There are so many companies out there offering very similar things but I would definitely recommend this company and Jason especially 😀
