We visited Cambodia & vietnam for 14 days.. It was really well organised.. From the start till end everything was very well organised. Since it was a budget trip the hotels which were booked was way better than we expected. Any queries jasmine always was there to solve it within few minutes. I would definitely recommend people to go with this agency. They are really good. Due to some mis communication there was some confusion in ho Chi Minh City and within no time we got back our refund.

Interesting natural phenomenon but massively overpriced for what it is. Staff are unfriendly and you get the impression you are getting in the way of them sitting on their arse. They have a camel farm, allegedly, when we went they had all "gone for a walk"...

Got picked up by taxi at hotel and taken to dock. Boarded a speed boat, only three of us on trip, the boat could have seated about 8. Set off at speed, no really at SPEED! Leaving HCMC at speed is great (not a fan!). About 1.5 hours later, having eaten breakfast on the go (fresh fruit and pastries) we docked. Here we were introduced to Ding and Dong (actually Dinh, but that ruins the joke!) our guides and our bikes. Bikes were good quality and had handlebar storage for phone and water. Bike ride was leisurely and on quiet roads/tracks, stopped at rubber plantation and rice paper factory. Guide was very knowledgeable. The stop for fresh fruit was very welcome and very delicious. Tour of the tunnels wasn't actually the highlight of the trip, but again, the guide was very knowledgeable. Lunch was lovely, even for a vegetarian in a beef restaurant. The minibus back to HCMC was very comfortable. Overall a fabulous day out. Thank you.

Ben, our guide, picked us up from our city centre hotel and took us to the Mekong Delta, it was around a hour and 10 min trip though could be quicker if the traffic was calmer. We stopped to see the Buddahs and temple quite close to the river before embarking on our first boat trip of the day. We went to see the small bees and held them before tasting honey tea. We sailed on to another island where we saw some traditional folk singers and had some fruits and tea that were all plucked locally. This was followed by a relaxing boat trip along a tranquil river being paddled by a local lady followed by lunch. Lunch was held in a big thatched roof restaurant, the choice of food placed in front of us was lovely and tasted so good. Unfortunatly this is where the tour finished as we had to travel back to Saigon. It was a great day with a very informative guide and would recommend this to anyone who has the time, especially as a private tour. Thanks Ben, we both really enjoyed it.
