David – NetherlandsDecember 2, 2023 – Verified booking
The tour is well timed, taking exactly the time indicated. It’s very touristy, most stops you visit will try to sell you something. There’s no pushing to buy, but it’s obvious that they somewhat expect it. In return, you get to try loads of samples. Coconut candies, honey products, fruits and more. The lunch is fine, nothing special but good enough. Bring water or drinks, as only one 500ml bottle is included in the tour package. Our guide was cheerful but not very good at telling a story or providing us with some details of the stops we visited. All in all: if you go into it with the knowledge that it’s rather touristy, you will be fine!

Very cool tour to do for those who are in HCMC! The guide, Harry, was very good, with great English and ease! He explained a lot of things and was always open to questions. The tour in Cocos Village was very interesting and the boat trip was very different. Transport, food etc all very good! I recommend!

Overall amazing experience & definitely worth the money. Guide Bac was a delight. Very open, very funny, (good singer) and informative! They prepared a vegaetarian lunch option for my girlfriend which was another big plus. Some tour spots were (as expected) very typical touristy and local sales orientated, but we had a great time, a cool group & padeling on the Mekong Canal was an absolute highlight!
