We really enjoyed our tour today with Khoa. He made every effort to make our tour perfect and to show us the local life of Ben Tre and the Mekong Delta. We would recommend this tour to others who want to experience this area of Vietnam in contrast to Saigon. His tour includes a lovely lunch as well as some refreshment stops. We had a very competent driver who navigated the challenging traffic and made us feel very safe throughout.

From start to end, our day with Khoa to the Mekong River in Ben Tre was a first rate experience. He & his excellent driver picked us up on time, & the car was comfortable, clean, & had good air conditioning. However, those are just the basics. Besides his knowledge of the region, Khoa is well organized & conscientious. He made sure we had a personalized experience, going places that large groups can't. Plus he has a good sense of humor & is a good singer. Well worth the price.

Our experience with Khoa and Man was like those television programs where the host travels to spectacular, exotic locales with the assistance of locals who know where to go and what to do to create a series of memorable experiences. Our tour included lunch in a restaurant that only locals would know about, or be able to locate. We have gone on some very good excursions with our favored cruise line, but this tour was on a whole new level. We will definitely seek out their services in the future.

What a brilliant trip! Khoa and his driver were excellent. We saw the local industries for the people of the Mekong Delta, took many different forms of transport which was so much fun, and the lunch in the local restaurant was delicious. Outstanding!

We had an amazing Mekong Delta tour with Khoa. The Delta tour was fascinating. It was an immersion into life along the river. Khoa organized everything, and the trip included in a sanpan ride on the river, a canoe ride, a tuk-tuk ride, and visiting residences and local shops. Lunch was amazing at a local restaurant, and refreshment breaks were plentiful. We visited local shops and met the people who live along the river. Khoa made sure everyone of our needs were met. Thanks Khoa!

Khoa is a very friendly and knowledgeable person and a competent and interesting guide, able and willing to accommodate the program to the customer's wishes. He took us to some lesser known places, allowing us to get a real insight into local life. It was a long and interesting day. We certainly recommend him as a highly reliable guide.
