A great and holistic experience of the Mekong Delta - Our trip was amazing through and through and we got to witness the grandeur of the Mekong delta and the thousands of years of history it encapsulates. The cherry on top was our tour guide, Stark, who was very knowledgeable, eager to engage us, and helpful in every possible way. If (and for sure) we come back to Saigon, we would definitely invite Stark to accompany us. Also, a shout out to Kaylee who was very accommodating with the bookings and was patient with us while we continued to engage with her. Thank you so much!

Mekong River trip of a lifetime. - Our day trip to the Mekong River with our expert guide, Tom was incredible. The endless experiences throughout the day have formed many special memories that will forever stay in our hearts, and fill our photo book! So many hours trying to sort through trips to book but look no further and book this day trip with Tom. The culture, history, experiences, and local tropical food was 5 stars all around. Bring good walking shoes, a hat, a full camera battery, and enjoy every minute learning about the Vietnamese way of life along the Mekong River.

The best daughter and grandma trip - I had such an amazing experience with this tour. Our operator Iris was always quick to respond, and was willing to help no matter how small issues/questions were. Our guide Phat was so open minded and I feel like I learned a lot. I really enjoyed the conversation with him throughout the trip! Since it was a grandma and daughter trip I was a bit worried at first about the heat and humidity but we were very well taken care of for the entire trip :)
