Honestly what an amazing tour! Very wholesome and our host was amazing

Interesting tour to get a Real-Life impression of the Mekhong Delta. Well organised, many spots in short time without rushing. Some activities are a bit too touristic (e.g. 5 min. music Performance), but others are really cool (e.g. cooking and dining at local formal). Overall a good Mix, also different transports. Our guide was funny, highly motivated and competent. Highly recommend es.
