We had the most amazing 3-day 2-nights tour! Our guide Tom was very nice and had lots of information about Vietnam and the Mekong area. The floating market of Cai Rang was really special. And our hotel in Can Tho was very good (Wink Hotel).

We really really loved our Mekong Delta 3 day tour with Kevin and Mr Lam! Such a great way to see life there - and it’s clear once you’re in the area it would be quite difficult to see those things without being on a tour (finding the places to visit and getting there would be a challenge). You sleep in the cities but spend the days travelling between, stopping at different small enterprises and cultural experiences. We were lucky that it was only a group of 2 on our trip, and Kevin really made it one to remember. He was so knowledgable, really easy to chat to, and had the itinerary absolutely locked in. I don’t think I’ve ever been on a tour that ran so smoothly!

The most wonderful tour with Bā Cuong/ Tuco! What a legend. Amazing schedule that ran on time and was very well organised, incredible views, brilliant people and we learnt a lot of new things. Our guide was very knowledgable and friendly and also took great care to help us manage our daughters allergy while we were out and about. Also took amazing photos for us to keep the great memories. Would give 10 stars if I could
