Traveler reviews
ADVENTUROUS EXPERIENCE AND AMAZING GUIDE, MS. THUYEN!
Our one day tour to the Mekong Delta was honestly one of the highlights of our Vietnam trip! The entire experience was so well organised and enjoyable from start to finish. A huge thank you to Ms. Thuyen (Twin) for being the BEST guide we’ve had so far. She was incredibly kind, friendly, interactive, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the trip. Her energy and enthusiasm made the whole experience even more special. We would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting Vietnam! The tour itself was amazing. Before heading to the Mekong Delta, we visited a beautiful Buddhist pagoda which was peaceful and absolutely stunning. Then came the fun part, the boating experience through the small canals was so relaxing and scenic, and the cycling activity was extremely fun as well. The food during the tour was also very good and authentic. It was also very informative, so if there's someone my age, they'll highly enjoy.. One important tip for future visitors: wear light/open clothes, caps, and sunglasses because it gets VERY hot during the day. The heat is no joke 😭 Overall, it was such a memorable experience and we truly enjoyed every moment of it. Highly recommended!
