We had a lovely day. Tam, originally from the Mekong Delta, is a very nice, enthusiastic guide who shared lots of info during the day. The diversity of activities and ways of transfer made it a perfect day out. Both or teenagers (16) and young kid (6) loved the trip.

Tim was an excellent guide, who provided a good perspective of the lives of the people who work for us to have these experiences such as row boat pilots, musical performers, etc. The tour itself is also fun and well planned, with the right amount of time spent at every destination. A trip to the country and rivers of Vietnam provides cultural enrichment that you wouldn’t get from only staying in the city and visiting temples.
