Great day if you want to experience the Mekong Delta and surrounds. We went from Ho Chi Minh City which makes for a very long day, but definitely worthwhile. Our guide My was amazing, very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend
VIP floating market tour
TOAN our tour guide picked us up from the hotel in a luxury van with reclining seats and gave us the vip service that we expected. He speaks English very well and ensured that we always knew what was happening and what was going to happen. The tour was great, from the floating market to the coconut and rice noodle factory. The provided lunch was excellent I highly recommend TOAN and the VIP tour
