Vietnam Vacay Mekong Experience - From pick up to drop off our host Lien (Lillian) Nguyen was super friendly, informative, and enthusiastic during our Mekong Delta Day trip. The range of experiences was amazing and varied, the tour really opened our eyes and gave us some insights and chances to sample different tastes, sights and smells. The boat and bicycle rides were definitely highlights. Recommend Lien and Asiana Link Travel!!!

Wonderful experience - David was amazing. I think this was the best tour and the best outing in Vietnam. Very kind people, beautiful places to take your breath away. From the little shop that made everything from coconut, to the local Point of Sale to the boat trip to the Mekong was just an improvement. Also David very helpful, nice and kind. Super recommended. Also the final lunch delicious.

Exceptional 10/10 - We found the whole experience of dealing with Stark (our guide)very easy.He was in touch with us about the meeting arrangements and what we needed to bring for the day.He explained the cultural, and historical context of what we would see on the tour. He was always very enthusiastic and encouraged us to become engaged with everything he showed us. He was good humoured, helpful and kept us up to date with the planned activities. We felt we gained insight into the Mekong Delta. We would highly recommend Stark for this tour from Ho Chi Min city
