A great day with the guide Phong and Mr D the driver. Phong shared a lot of information about local areas and culture. He has a great sense of humour and lots of energy! The lunch was tasty and plentiful. Happy to recommend this tour.
It was excellent. Our guide Phong was the best, so kind, attentive and friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better guide.
Very nice tour guide, Mr. Mario. I had so much fun.
The experience was excellent and Nim was an excellent guide, providing extra bits of interesting information. His English was great which was really helpful for us too. The only thing I would say was is that it was a little rushed, which created a job for me keeping my husband on time 😂 also the lunch was tasty but could have had a little more flavour. Overall, would highly recommend 👍🏻
Tim was great guide, he’s a local and he knows a lot of Interesting details about local life.Food was delicious, and there was lots of it! Highly recomended
This was a great day. We took a private tour as we are elderly (68 & 71) and wanted to do it at our pace and have support getting on and off boats. Ethan our guide was excellent and really looked after us. He freely shared his extensive knowledge and ensured we were safe and enjoyed everything on offer. Our lunch was excellent and there was no way we could eat it all. Our driver was also excellent. The entire day was outstanding and I would recommend this tour, especially if you get Ethan as your guide.
Lam the guide of Banana group was the best, he had an amazing English and he explained everything not only about the things related to the tour, also about the history of Vietnam, it was so much more than I was expecting, I'm really happy about the whole tour, every time that I've taken a tour before I've felt disappointed but this time was completely the opposite, if I could rate 10 stars I'd do.
I really reccomend this tour. It is super funny, interesting and good way to learn something and see how people live in this area. Lam is great tour guide. For sure, I’ll do again. BANANA !!! 👋
We spent a great day with Phong! The tour included a boat ride, trying different snacks, lunch, local music… The pace is quite fast but this way you get to experience so many different things! It’s a great way to get outside the city, would recommend :)
ken was knowledgeable and very well organised. it was an excellent tour
Jakie was a great guide! very nice and very knowledgeable. recommended activity!
Niệm was my tour guide. I booked the tour with my 80 year old aunt amd she doesn't speak English. He guided with the 2nd language even though we booked the English version. My aunt got really tired in the middle of the trip so he was able to accommodate her. The experience with the whole was phenomenal. My favorite part was getting on the boat and tuk tuk.
