“we had a great trip! definetley recommend to stay overnight. on our first day we went a lot of different places. Tin Tin was a great and easy going guide, explaining the different sights and insides of mekong delta very well. we felt very well taken care of. the 2nd day was with a far smaller group, it was a bit more relaxed and a nice balance to the day before. having extra time to bike in the morning as well as fishing were definite highlights and lots of fun! would go again!”
