Tom was a great guide. The itinerary was also excellent. Highly recommend the tour especially the trip to Con Son Island with the local guide

Buen tour para conocer la zona

JuanCarlos_P, Sep 2024
Buen recorrido por varias partes del rio y del delta. Transporte c'omodo y buen hotel. las barcas tradicionales con un encanto 'unico. Lamentablemente por momentos se siente un poco apresurado y en algunos lugares se ve que es el show para el turista y no tan real como uno quisiera.
