Having a guide who spoke Japanese made the explanations easy to understand, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Beyond the Mekong River, it was interesting to try unique honey tea, visit a coconut candy factory, and listen to folk songs. For lunch, I even made my own fresh spring rolls, and everything, like the fish inside, was delicious and unlike anything I've tasted in Japan (๑´ڡ`๑). The morning meeting point was a bit unclear; it would have been helpful to have a card with the tour name or other details. Also, the tour finished earlier than expected, and I think it would have been even better if we had been able to visit temples or other sites.
This was my second tour of Thoi Son Island in the Mekong Delta, and once again, having a Japanese-speaking guide was incredibly helpful and informative for a Japanese person like me. Last time, I joined an English tour and was so focused on understanding the language that I couldn't fully enjoy myself. This tour's guidance is consistently provided in Japanese by a local guide. For the outbound journey, they pick you up at your hotel, but for the return, you can choose from several drop-off locations, including Ben Thanh Market. On Thoi Son Island, local workers may ask tourists for tips, but we were informed beforehand that we are not obligated to pay. There are so many unique experiences that you can't have in Japan, such as seeing beehives, interacting with pythons, and tasting fruits, royal jelly, and coconut water. I never get tired of it, no matter how many times I go. For lunch, we enjoy specialty dishes from My Tho City, and I believe they all suit the Japanese palate. Please note that while the food is included in the price, beverages are at your own expense. Beyond the numerous experiences unavailable in Japan, the Japanese-language guidance and the opportunity to travel with many other Japanese participants (which minimizes cultural gaps in group activities) are, I believe, the greatest hospitality for Japanese attendees. This tour does not involve the aggressive sales tactics often found with major travel agencies. While the Japanese-speaking tour costs more than the relatively popular English tours, I considered it a necessary investment for myself to enjoy Vietnam more fully.
It was amazing! We took a two-hour bus ride, had a rare and unforgettable experience on the Mekong River, and enjoyed a delicious meal!
Mr. Han's tour was so much fun! The Mekong River experience was amazing, and lunch was delicious. I was completely satisfied! Holding the beehive and having the snake around my neck was a blast!
Overwhelmed by the Mekong Delta, enjoyed the honey drink, island fruit, lunch, and sampan ride—it felt very much like Ho Chi Minh City. There were few signs, but the Japanese-speaking guide's explanations helped us understand the local way of life. It would have been easier to understand if there had been photos and supplementary information about the meeting point.
In the morning, a large tour bus picked us up. The only downside was that the tour guide seemed a bit unsure of the order and timing, causing us to wait an extra 10-20 minutes. Since we booked a Japanese tour, the guide explained all the itineraries and attractions in Japanese. The guide also helped us take photos at some of the spots, which was nice. The entire trip lasted from 9 AM to 4 PM, running a little behind schedule. I recommend not over-scheduling your itinerary, as traffic conditions can be unpredictable. Lunch was included, and since we had already eaten fruit and honey in the morning, we weren't very hungry. Considering it included the bus, boat ride, and lunch, I think it was a great value.
It was enjoyable to have a guide who spoke fluent Japanese, and I learned a lot about Vietnam. The tour itself ran smoothly according to schedule, and I had many different experiences. The honey, coconut candy, and lunch were also delicious.
The staff were very kind and helpful, which made my stay comfortable. I was also very satisfied with the tour content and time allocation. I'm grateful for such a fulfilling experience.
