Mekong delta tour 2 days

We had a great time and saw so much of the Mekong delta. Our tour guide Ethan was very kind and had very good communication. If we wanted something, he did help us very good. So happy we did this tour. Thankyou

Great tour with lots of activities

On the first day we were with a group of 6 people. We were the only ones who booked an overnight tour, so after the activities, the others headed back to Ho Chi Minh. From then on we basically had a private tour with Ethan, our guide. He did a great job explaining and organising everything. He communicated everything very clearly, so we always knew what was next. If we wanted something he made sure we got it. We tried a lot of interesting food I haven't had before. There also weren't a lot of other tourists around, so it didn't feel as touristy as some of the other tours I've done. This made the experience even better. One of the best tours I've done in Vietnam. Thank you Ethan!

Two-day Mekong Delta tour with Luan

We had a great two days with Luan (Ethan) on the two-day tour of the Mekong Delta. We were picked up at our hotel in a comfortable van, and on the drive to the first stop, Luan kept us entertained, asking questions and telling us about the area. It was a full first day. The lunch and food snacks were excellent. We traveled on with Luan and a new driver in the afternoon to Cai Rang as the day-tour group returned to Saigon. Highly recommend choosing the "home-stay" option if you do the two-day tour. It was a quiet, beautiful place with comfortable rooms, pool and restaurant. Next morning off for floating delicious breakfast at the Cai Rang floating market. A great experience! Luan was an excellent guide! Highly recommend!

Everyone needs a Grace

When you are planning a trip to a country 10,000 km away from home that you have never been to previously and refusing to go on a prearranged tour (far to rigid) what do you need ? You need a Grace, everyone one needs a Grace and I found “my” Grace at Asiana Link Travel. Having seen the company on Tripadvisor I presumed they must be legitimate but what I experienced in customer service from Grace far exceeded the “legitimate” tab. She put my mind at ease immediately. An excellent communicator (I even got a WhatsApp message from her while she was out celebrating her birthday) that went above and beyond in everything she did for us. As you may have gathered by now, Grace was fantastic and even after I changed my mind on more than one occasion on what we wanted to do and where to go, her enthusiasm did not drop. Grace arranged a day trip visiting the Cu Chin tunnels and various other attractions for one of the days we were in Saigon. James our tour guide was unbelievably knowledgeable, patient and totally unbiased in his account of history. a day trip I would recommend to anyone. She also arranged a 3 day/2 night trip up the Mekong River (and tributaries) which saw us leave Vietnam (sadly) and arrive in Phnom Penh, Cambodia - a fabulous way of getting between the 2 capitals that we would recommend. It will rank as a highlight of our tour and the stay at the Bamboo Eco Lodge in Can Tho was particularly special. However, Manh, our tour guide, will be the memory we takeaway from this trip - again, like James, Manh made us feel so relaxed and comfortable in what we were doing, at our own pace and boy did we laugh together - we could not praise this young man enough (and rest assured Manh, the adoption papers are in the post 😁) Thank you so much Asiana Link Travel - your customer service and experience could not be surpassed and we were so lucky to find you. And for Grace, James and Manh - please take a bow - you were all incredible. John and Anne Marie Co. Cork, Ireland
