We were picked up at our hotel in downtown HCMC, had a great time with our guide Thua who did a very good job guiding us through the site! Due to COVID-19 we were basically the only visitors there which was a very nice and unique experience. Can recommend doing this in the off-season!

I have been living and working in Southern Vietnam for 10 years and I love this country very much. On our first time to visit the North, we decided to travel to Ha Giang, Ban Gioc Waterfall, and Ba Be Lake. We chose Conical Travel according to one of our friends who did the trip with them. The six-day trip amazed and impressed us with the beauty of the natural landscape in the moutainous areas. Each of the destinations we visited has its own mesmerizing features and we had chance to interact with the local people. Our kids had great lessons about how the people in these regions survive without the modernization. In short, the trip was very very very excellent. We love Vietnam so much, from the bottom of our hearts! Andrew, Lorna & kids

Jenny is the best !!! She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, funny and kind. We had a limited amount of time in Saigon, so this tour was perfect. We covered the Caibe village then went to Xoe quyet in Mekong Delta where we saw a local honey farm, rode in horse and carriage, heard local music and went down the river in local boats.. I would definitely recommend Jenny as she really went above and beyond for us. We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better guide! :)

Excellent guide! We learned so much about life and culture from Lee. And the car was fantastic. I am only sorry that we did not have time to do a Vung Tau tour with him. I bet it's amazing, given that his family still lives there and he grew up there. Lee has a passion for guiding and speaks English really well, too. We thorouly enjoyed our full day with Lee and would highly recommend him for your next tour.

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.

Crawling through the Cu Chi Tunnel into the past Paddling through the MEKONG DELTA CANAL today Cu Chi Tunnels has long been a sought-after mecca for both local and foreign visitors who are eager to learn about Vietnamese history in general and the Second Indochina War in particular. Coming here, you will be able to gain insights into not only the life of people during war time but also how a poorly equipped army responded to the enemy’s ordnance, bombers, and chemical weapons. Meanwhile, The Mekong Delta is truly a unique ecosystem with diverse communities, and you can’t find a place like this anywhere else in the world. Life in the Mekong Delta revolves around water. Everything is connected to water. These 2 places deserve more than just a day tour, but if all you have is a day without an agenda, then let’s try to make the most out of it with Hana Tourist: A good mixture of history and culture experience at the same time of the day.

Inclusions: Lunch is set with special Vietnamese dishes (vegetarian food is possible). Enjoying lunch under coconut leaves, taking a rest on a hammock will make the life so peaceful., Private transportation, All entrance fees, Drinking water, Tissue, Boat Trip

I had a wonderful time doing the Night Food Tour. Kevin, my guide, took me to five different food places. At each restaurant, I was able to try their signature dishes. Delicious. I would not have known about these restaurants without the tour. And along the way, Kevin gave us many other city recommendations. Fabulous tour. Come hungry. Kevin, I am sorry for not reviewing the trip sooner due to a long travel list. Hope you are all good too these days. Be safe

The Mekong Delta is the southernmost region of Vietnam. It is often referred to as the rice bowl of Vietnam as it produces three harvests per year. The fertile Mekong Delta is also famous for its tropical fruits and flowers. The delta area marks the end of a 4,500km journey made by the Mekong River after having traveled through six countries. Mỹ Tho is one of the biggest cities in the Mekong Delta, dotted with serene Buddhist pagodas and surrounded by dense rivers. Many great destinations for visitors have been established by the local government and private companies, serving thousands of tourists every day. We recommend this tour for those who want to get an overview of the Mekong Delta for a few delightful hours.

Can’t review our Vietnam trip of a life time because Covid destroyed our dreams but definite 5/5 for the people at Asianlink. Nothing was a problem. Gave us a credit when Covid first hit then when serious illness decided to raise its head never flinched. Gave us our money back without question. Can’t recommend enough.
