We had an amazing time guided by Tom. We saw plenty of wonderful things and people while taking our time and enjoying what this tour has to offer. Special thanks to Tom who's really nice and has a hug knowledge of his own culture (and the others!). It was so peaceful and full of surprises, would 200% recommend.

🌟🌟🌟🌟☆ A peaceful escape from the city – made even better by our warm and friendly tour guide! We had an overall great time on the Mekong River tour. The scenery was calming, and it was nice to slow down and experience life along the river. The boat ride was smooth, the visits to the local villages were eye-opening, and the food was simple but fresh—especially the fruits and honey tea! What really made the experience extra special was our tour guide. She was warm, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the day. She explained everything clearly and shared little personal stories that made the tour more meaningful. You can tell she really loves her job and cares about the guests. If you're looking for a relaxed, cultural day trip with a personal touch, this one’s worth booking!

It was a long tour, but very enjoyable. Lenny explained the locations thoroughly, and even showed us pictures. This is not only entertaining, but educational too! The participants were a combination of different Southeast Asian countries, but he has the patience to explain everything even if English is not his first language. Thanks Lenny and SST travel.
