Memorable Experience - We had a private river tour with Mr Pham. He couldn't have done anymore for us, nothing was too much trouble. He gave us a great insight into Vietnam. Great value highly recommend

Great experience - Our group of 10 (from the Golden Princess) had a great day with our guide Mr Huy. We had a brand new 12 passenger van (great air conditioning and so comfortable). First stop was the Silk Embroidery shop (interesting to see the skill and no pressure to purchase). Then on to the river cruise in a small boat and lots of information on life in the area. The men were intrigued with the motorcycle/foot bridge that is rebuilt each year. We really enjoyed the great lunch in a local (but tourist filled) restaurant on the river banks - really wonderful selection of dishes. With stops at the local orphanage (happy kids), rice noodle "factory" (hot and really interesting) and mat weaving demo (must be back breaking). Over all - this tour gave us a peek at a very different way of life, which is one of the reasons we travel. A great time and can't recommend enough. Thank you Mr Dung Pham and Mr Huy !!

Phamtastic ! - Day went like clockwork. Met as promised at the right place at the right time. Tour lasted 5 hours which was just about right for what we did. Lunch was excellent in a riverside Chinese restaurant (known as Chopsticks). Would take a tour with Mr Pham anytime!

Fantastic Experience - My friend and I did Mr. Pham's private cultural river tour in January and it was absolutely fantastic. Mr. Pham was extremely organized and had all aspects of the tour, transportation and activities planned to the minute. Mr. Pham was an excellent tour guide showing us parts of the city and countryside we would have never found on our own. Our first stop at the orphanage was an incredible experience and Mr. Pham was very knowledgeable about the history and culture behind it. Lunch was fantastic, and included, at a restaurant right on the river. Highly recommend this tour.

Very interesting and enjoyable tour - Saw the good reviews of this tour and booked in advance of our stop on the Sapphire Princess cruise, What a great day we had. Our guide was Dung, she spoke very good English and gave us lots of local information. There were 4 of us in an air conditioned van. We visited the embroidery store, mat weaving, the Big Buddha, the orphanage, before stopping for a delicious lunch. The on to a river boat cruise back to Nha Trang. Extremely enjoyable day and happy to recommend.

Great Tour - We were on the Sapphire Princess cruise, i had researched before we left Australia and found this great tour company on Trip Advisor. I booked the tour of the country side and river tour for 4 adults and 1 child. What a great experience, the guide was excellent and spike very good english and was very knowledgable and honest. The boat driver was also very good however did not speak english still told my partner he was the happy buddhas brother....in gestures and sign language haha. The meal was delicious and the setting was perfect, I would highly recommend this tour in a comfortable air conditioned vehicle, great value for money. Visiting the orphanage was the highlight for me and my 6 year old grand daughter.

Great to see another side to Vietnam life - Overall very good. Very varied and the lunch was excellent. Slightly disappointed there were no children to meet at the orphanage . The guide moved around very quickly but gave a lot of information. Not all of it very clear
