Full description

This is a experience in Ho Chi Minh City. It is run by Mekong Delta Tour, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Air-conditioned vehicle, BBQ Lunch, All Fees and Taxes, English and Vietnamese Guide and kayaking adventure through a maze of waterways. It does not cover Tips for tour guide and driver and All other services not mentioned in the above program, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh, Việt Nam. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Mekong Delta Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Top Guide Chow und Top Fahrer. Chow hat klar und deutlich Englisch gesprochen und hat uns gute infod gegeben. Er hat sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert. Der Fahrer ist der beste Busfahrer den wir in Vietnam getroffen haben. Ein sehr ruhiger und sicherer Fahrer. Hatten vorher nur Verrückte Busfahrer. Also Chow und der Fahrer Top 👍 Essen top Fahrradtour top Kanutour leider zu kurz Was uns nicht gefallen hat war die viel zu lange Bustour. Leider haben wir uns vorher nicht informiert wie weit das auseinander ist. Wir hätten sonst ein Tag Mekong-Delta gemacht und ein Tag den Cu Chi Tunnel. Achtung beim

An amazing trip! We were picked up promptly and driven to cu chi tunnels. Jack was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He made it so engaging. Definitely a must visit when in HCMC. We then had a delicious lunch and taken cycling and kayaking! Both of these were so much fun and a beautiful way to see the local area. One of the best trips we've done, would recommend to everyone! Thank you.

Chow was a great host for the Cu Chi Tunnels part of this trip. He was very friendly and chatty and knew lots of history and answers to questions. After lunch, Chow left me with a local called Kenny who would take me kayaking and let me know that another tour bus would collect me to take me back to the hotel. The kayaking side for me was fun as I was the only person who had opted to do this, but a little disappointing as part of the river was overgrown with plants which meant we never got to stay out as long as I would have liked. Kenny was great and when biking back to the cafe to wait for my

The driver Kenny and the guide Chow were punctual picking me up. The drive was comfortable. Our guide Chow was very welcoming, kind and funny. He was clear explaining the day's itinerary and open to answer any questions. The Cu Chi tunnels were interesting to see, but it was very crowded. I personally would've loved to hear a bit more historical background about the place, though we did get some explanations during the visit. Lunch was great. The guide for kayaking and cycling was good. The kayak trip was a bit short, I would have liked it to be longer. The bicycle ride through the village was

De manière globale c’était une belle expérience. Cependant, la description de l’annonce est fausse. Il ne s’agit pas d’un groupe privé. En demandant à l’opérateur via Whats’App il m’a indiqué que nous serions en groupe et qu’un surplus de 1 800 000 de dong par personne était demandé pour faire l’activité en privé. Donc une étoile est retiré à cause de cela. Sinon de manière globale c’était une belle expérience. Notre guide Jack fut de bonne compagnie et a su répondre à nos 1000 questions. Donc je vous recommande mais attention ceci est une activité effectuée en groupe et non privé.

Ein toller Tag voller Geschichte, Geschichten, Natur und kulinarischer Genüsse. Milo war ein sehr engagierter Guide bei den Tunnels, Hieu (der ein kleines, nettes Familien-Homestay betreibt) hat mich durch Flüsse und Felder geführt und mir viel Spannendes auch zur Landwirtschaft erzählt. Unvergessliche Erlebnisse, absolut zu empfehlen!
