Worth every cent! Tuan is a friendly, well informed guide, who had answers to all our questions. He gave us enough information and time to take everything in. I am vegetarian and follow a very complicated diet. The lunch was so extravagant following all my restrictions. Furthermore, we were given all kinds of fruit, candy, honey and teas on the mekong tour. Son was the driver, and we were picked up on time and traveled between places with no stress.

Amazing tour and amazing guide! Bao is the best!
This tour was absolutely amazing. The itinerary was ideal, especially if you don’t have much time in HCM. Bao, our guide was so great throughout the entire tour. He was very knowledgeable and had personal stories that related to the tunnels which added more familiarity to the trip. It starts off going to the next tunnel site where you can see and get more information on the tunnels. Then you’re brought to the shooting range and can get a light drink if you choose not to participate. Afterwards you’re taken to one of the tunnel entrances where you can attempt to go through one.
After the two hour drive to the river you’re taken to a boat which drops you off on one of the islands. Here you’ll be taken to a bee farm, on a bike truck tuk tuk looking thing through the island and taken to taste some candy. You’ll be given some fruit and then head to a smaller boat to be rowed back down to the river.
Overall this tour was very well planned out and I’m extremely happy with it. Our guide really was the cherry on top with his happy personality and knowledgeable self.
