The trip itself includes a bit of everything the tunnels and history was sad and interesting. The Mekong delta was beautiful, the boat trip, people and food were all fantastic. They also catered to us as vegetarians and others dietary requirements. The van was pristine and roomy, our driver was safe and great with the new year traffic we experienced. Would recommend this company 100% and would pay more its great value for money.”
