The entire schedule was perfectly observed, perfect departure/arrival time. The guide Kyle was funny and helpful, professional and respectful. At the beginning I was afraid reading the reviews but the "commercial part" was a few minutes so we had the chance to see and do a lot of things, the row boat ride was long enough and funny. Lunch was good.

Amazing tour, our guide Kyle(his english name) was awesome! He shared the history of the sights. He was knowledgeable, warm, kind and funny. He made sure we were taken care of during lunch and throughout the trip. He made the tour worth the trip. Highly recommend and make sure to ask for Kyle. Having worked in hospitality my whole life it’s about the people and the service. Kyle was on top of it all from pick up to drop off. Our driver was amazing as well

This is mostly a tasting tour, with lots of food (fruits, tea, candy, coconut, lunch), and less physical activity. You get a fast glimpse of the delta, which is beautiful, but the place you visit is quite turisty and crowded. I would have definitely done more time cycling in the village or more time on the boat to enjoy the landscape. Overall it is still a good 1 day experience and Thanh, our guide did his best to provide us comfort and information. 4/5
