Great experience ,wonderful guide - Best trip ever.The tour started at 07h30-07h45 o'clock and arrived in downtown Ho Chi Minh City at 16 o'clock. It was nice to be able to walk around Monkey Island and the mangrove forest. It was conducted by a local travel agency, and the guide explained well and the other staff who contacted us in advance were also friendly. It's a good idea. If you're going to Ho Chi Minh, make sure to take the time to go!!Highly recommended

Great tour - Perfect trip Just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to your team for providing an outstanding tour experience. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, every aspect of the tour was flawlessly executed. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic about the places we visited. They went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in our group felt comfortable and well-informed. The itinerary was well-planned, and we got to see and experience so much more than we ever could have on our own. The transportation provided was comfortable and safe. The meals were fantastic. Overall, the tour was an unforgettable and remarkable experience. It exceeded all of our expectations, and we cannot thank your team enough for the fantastic job they did. We will definitely recommend your tours to our family and friends, and we look forward to travelling with you again in the future. Thank you for providing such a great tour.

We love natural places.The best trip ever - We love natuHighly recommended this tour.It is the best tour we had in Vietnam so far. I like the feels of the countryside tour. Also, our tour guide is the best so far, Mr. Anna. His English pronunciation is very clear. We easily understand. He knows the history of the place very well and answers our questions very well too. He offers to take photos too which I very like because we want remembrance of our vacation as much as we can. He is also very kind and friendly. We liked the place as we love nature. Thank you! We very much enjoyed the tour. ❤️.Best trip ever.ral places.The best trip ever

Overall Great Experience - Just Wanted to Be on the Boat a Little Longer... - The tour was great. The lunch was fantastic. The tour guide was awesome. The monkeys were also very well behaved. I don't think the explanation is exactly right though concerning the boat. The explanation on Trip Advisor says, non motorized and it was a motorized boat so the time on the water went really fast and I wished that could have been a bit longer. Besides that great trip. You are in good hands.
What it says online concerning boat:
"Continue in a small, non-motorized rowing boat that’s ideal for navigating the Delta’s winding canals, where you’ll get a glimpse of the traditional houses that cluster at the edge of the water."

Encounters in the Wild - The whole tour was very interesting and well organised. I particularly enjoyed encounters with the cheeky monkeys and the mangrove forest itself. The Vietnam War commando camp was also very interesting.

To feed or not to feed? - I feel so conflicted in writing this review. Even with the monkey bite, which snowballed into panic over possibly contracting rabies, and five subsequent hospital visits for the Rabovax, it was a great day out away from the heat and chaos of Saigon. I don’t believe we should have been encouraged to feed the monkeys - they were not cautious of humans and some were even aggressive in their attempts to steal a banana. The forest, the war history displays, the stories and the lunch were phenomenal. The guide was lovely. I just think the park officials and the tour guides need to come to a consensus - to feed or not to feed (the monkeys)? That is the question!

Enjoyable in parts but not as described - We were told to wait in the hotel lobby at 6.45 am ready for collection between 7 and 7.15 am. No one came and we were not contacted. I made several calls to international numbers but got either unobtainable or a recorded message saying the line wasn't in operation. We were finally collected at 8.15 am.
Monkey Island and the army base were very interesting and enjoyable. I would not advise anyone with poor eyesight without glasses to go as you can't wear glasses as the monkeys steal them.
It stated on the tour description that the boat fee was included (it wasn't) and we were charged 115 vietnamese dong each (approx £7.50 for both of us) for a 5 minute trip.
The lunch was good but the resort by the beach where we ate lunch was shabby. The beach had a lot of rubbish, the sea looked very polluted and you wouldn't want to sit there. They advertise swimming in a pool but this was for an additional charge and there was little time to swim by the time lunch was over.
We were dropped back in Ho Chi Minh at 4.15 pm so this was an 8 hour trip rather than 10 hours as advertised.
The tour guide (who called himself Kevin) told us at the end of the tour that a minimum tip of at least 50,000 Vietnamese dong per person was expected. We did tours with other companies and were not told this. We did tip the guides from other companies as they collected us on time and didn't ask for a tip.
I have complained to Viator about the boat fee, the tour length and the fact that we were left waiting for 1.5 hours to be picked up but so far, I have not had a response other than that they are looking into it.

Good to go with a local company and not an international one - I didn’t like the fact that no one got in touch with me regarding the tour. I reported at the pickup place at 7 but had to call a US number to know why nobody is picking me up or calling me till 7:40 I had to pay for the international call, the local number given on my ticket wasn’t in service. Then the tour guide texted me n finally picked us up at 8am, till then I was anxious without communication
Our tour guide wasn’t much of a help in explaining things in English, may be he was good in Vietnamese

Nice people make some mistakes - The most memorable part was the discovery that the tour did not relate at all to the description that I signed up for. The organizer did try to compensate us for the mistake though… it was just a mistake. I think someone should check these postings though.
