    Very recommended

    Very well organized trip! we are so happy we chose THiS tour agency. Our guide was very open and very good English speaking and had huge knowledge about the region we visited. Trip to Tra Su forest was very comfortable (AC car) the guide and driver were not in rush- Gave us plenty of time for watching and visiting. During the trip we also had another boat trip to the fish farm and see house on stilts and Cham Village… Thomas thanks for great trip!

    Did the Tra Su Forest and Chau Doc river tour with the floating village and small canals. All well organized, but the guides were particularly excellent and informative–really enjoyed the tours with them. They also arranged excellent car travel from and to HCMC.
