Best tour with Stark in Vietnam! - We had an incredible day exploring Vietnam with our guide Stark! The tour included a visit to a fascinating silk and bamboo museum, where we learned about power of silk and bamboo in product making. Next, we ventured to Coconut Island and some other islands where we enjoyed a delicious lunch featuring local specialties. One of the highlights was a serene boat ride along the river, allowing us to soak in the beautiful scenery. Stark was knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the local culture!

Mekong River cruise. Visiting Unicorn & Coconut Island’s. - Lien (Lillian) our tour guide was amazing. From punctual arrival to greet us with ponchos & umbrellas in case of rain, plenty of water & the most beautiful smile. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Saigon. Taught us some Vietnamese language & was very supportive & helpful with getting in and out of the boats as we were three senior citizens. I highly recommend this tour company & Lien

Cu chi tunnel and Mekong Delta experience. - Cu chi tunnel experience was informative and interesting. Our guide offered a lesson in history and we really enjoyed learning about the tactics of war. Mekong Delta experience was okay. It was such a long drive there and I am not sure if we gained much from that. Lunch was included with the tour and was absolutely disgraceful. Overall, the tour was a taste of Ho Chi Minh and definitely can be delivered better.
