What people are saying about My Tho

We had a nice jam packed day on this excursion. The guide was very nice, and organized and ensured everything was on track. We had stops at the Pagoda and other various stops on the Mekong Delta. The commercial aspect got a bit repetitive at times but we still had fun and bought some Vietnamese goodies and local produce. We enjoyed some fresh fruit and local singers and later they gave us a very nice lunch, ending with some free time to bike around the village. It was very good value for money.

Excellent tour under the dynamic and very friendly guide of Betty! Everything went perfectly, the visits are very interesting and varied, we learn a lot about the life of the country and its customs, the day passes very quickly! Very good meal! I highly recommend !!! Incredible value for money!!!

I recommend visiting the Palace of Versailles. But be careful because the voucher entitles you to only one entry into the palace and another into the garden. If you leave, it is no longer possible to return. If you're in Paris, it's worth taking an Uber.

Viet our guide was outstanding. The tour was great, very informative. We were entertained with a concert at the end, the locals sang to traditional instruments, native to the region. It was gorgeous. I really enjoyed this trip. I recommend to everyone.

Eddie/Bao was the best. He was funny, friendly and on a hetero way handsome. Best Tourguide ever!! His English was perfect.
