Sister Huang Yucui is very kind and lovely. You can ask her any questions about Vietnam. My favorite part of the itinerary was the boat ride, and the lunch was also delicious.

The items to experience are mainly in the same area, including man-made boats, power boats, and tuk-tuks. However, the chances of joining a non-English group may be lower. In the end, it is an English group.

The guide was kind and spoke good Japanese, so I was able to participate with confidence. It was also good that there were frequent toilet breaks during the trip. The content was also wonderful, as it was packed with experiences that could only be had here.

I think the appeal of the tour is that you can discover things that you wouldn't have been able to choose by yourself. The guides also worked really hard. There was some pretty aggressive sales at each spot on the tour, but I recommend it to those who enjoy the culture. We had fun and spent money, and I think we were able to buy some nice souvenirs.

The pick-up service in an unfamiliar place was a big deciding factor for me in choosing this tour! The tour guide was a woman who had studied Japanese history thoroughly and was very knowledgeable. She was attentive to detail and I was able to spend the time there with peace of mind. I highly recommend this tour if you come to Vietnam!

It was so much fun~ The guide was so kind and took such good care of me, which was nice~ I've been on a Mekong River tour before, but this one was even more satisfying~ The kimchi stew(?) they gave us for lunch was awesome👍. Thank you, guide~^^.

Anyway, it was a very satisfying tour. Our guide, Thao, was really kind, always smiling, and helpful. He was very studious, and in addition to historical and geographical information and the latest situation in Vietnam, he also had a wealth of knowledge about plants and fruits, and thanks to Thao, I really fell in love with Vietnam. He always spoke to me during the tour and was considerate in many ways, which made me feel very warm. I thought that the main focus of this tour would be riding a rowboat on the Mekong River, but he took me to many more wonderful places than I expected, such as temples and island scenery. There were so many photo spots, and he suggested many things like, "You should pose like this and take a picture like this here," so it was a memorable and wonderful trip. The restaurant also served large dishes that were easy to share, and we enjoyed a variety of delicious dishes. The menu was full of entertainment, with fresh spring rolls made in front of us, and the rice cakes on the balls were broken, making it a fun meal. On the way there, he explained the lunch with photos in the car, so I was able to eat with peace of mind. We enjoyed the honey tea, bamboo leaf tea, and freshly made caramel tasting, and it was a tour packed with things you can't experience in the city of Ho Chi Minh. Before heading back, we had a restroom break at a nice facility, and even at this rest stop we could enjoy the beautiful scenery. During the tour, Thao's smile was comforting, and water was provided in the morning and afternoon, and the cool car interior made it a comfortable experience from start to finish. Thank you so much to Thao and the driver for the wonderful memories. I hope to see you again.

We had a great experience with our tour guide. She is very professional and attentive. She told us a lot about the culture of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. She was very funny and always created interesting stories to make us laugh. I'm really grateful for this trip.
