⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing day visiting the Cajuput Forest and duckweed fields from Ho Chi Minh City with our guide, Tom! 🌿 Tom speaks very good English and is incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He made the whole journey so much fun with his great sense of humor and kept me and my parents laughing throughout the day. He was also very caring and attentive, always making sure my parents were comfortable. Friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and definitely a cute guide too 😄 — Tom made the entire experience even more memorable! We truly enjoyed our day with him and would highly recommend Tom

Wir mussten in einem nicht klimatisierten Auto von Can Tho über 4h in den Tra Su Forest fahren. Der Fahrer hat dabei die kürzeste Route gewählt, um Mautkosten zu sparen. Auf dieser Route waren die Straßen sehr schlecht und die F

Once at the Pagoda, we could only walk around outside of it and could not enter. Though it is called a “lake”; its really a pond - and I understand it may have meaning to the locals, given the 12 hours time required, we would have just skipped it. If you
