We had an amazing Mekong day tour! The boat ride along the Mekong River was a highlight, offering the views and a peaceful atmosphere. Visiting the Coconut Place was equally fascinating, providing unique insights into local culture and craftsmanship. The entire experience was well-organized and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to exploring the Mekong River.

David and the team were fantastic! We had an amazing time exploring Saigon and trying all the delicious food. If you’re ever in Vietnam I highly recommend doing the 12 course tour. We even went to shops I wouldn’t have ever found myself.
