Excursii Thoi Son Island

Un tur mic incredibil în Delta Mekongului, mulțumită ghidului turistic Ryan, care este atent și interesant. O călătorie foarte împlinitoare, am vizitat fabrica de bomboane de cocos și un templu, am încercat ceai cu miere, am ascultat muzică locală în timp ce am gustat fructe locale și am luat barca pe fluviul Mekong. Vi-l recomand :)

Plimbarea pe Mekong și canalele sale este super relaxantă, iar natura este superbă pentru a face fotografii. Mi-a plăcut mult experiența de a mă bucura de natură, șarpele, peștii, crocodilii, să văd cum se prepară produse din nucă de cocos și chiar rom – a fost super! Dar, nu uitați să luați cu voi ce vi se recomandă pentru excursie (mai ales pentru soare și pentru a sta confortabil în bărci). O doamnă a venit în șlapi care erau alunecoși și aproape a căzut când cobora în barcă. Este o excursie grozavă pentru a te deconecta și a te bucura de zi fără grabă!

This full-day excursion was such a blast and easily one of the highlights of our trip! We had an amazing time exploring both the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta. Everything was well organized, informative, and fun, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire day. There were so many little experiences included along the way. We had multiple food tastings, rest stops, and plenty of opportunities to grab coffee, snacks, and souvenirs without ever feeling rushed or pressured. At the Mekong Delta, we especially loved trying the different coconut samples and seeing how coconut is used in so many different ways. Our tour guide, Johnny, was amazing! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable He kept the day engaging from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend this tour to tourists or anyone interested in learning more about Vietnamese history, culture, and local life. You get to experience so much in one day, and it was 100% worth it!

Since I was staying in an apartment rather than a hotel, I made my own way to the pickup location. There were many similar vehicles and large buses at the pickup spot, so I wandered around for a while, not knowing which car I was supposed to take. The guide got out of the car, looked at the voucher, and recognized me, but since I arrived before the guide did, it would be helpful if the vehicle license plate number could be provided in advance the day before. David was the best guide; he took good care of everyone in our group, explained things thoroughly, and made sure we had good meals. We stopped at souvenir shops and other places during the tour, but there was no pressure or awkwardness if we didn't buy anything. In addition to meals, before taking the small boat across the Mekong River, we were able to stop at a place where we could eat fruit and rest for a bit. It was the rainy season, so it rained on and off, but David managed the schedule well so that it didn't cause any major disruptions. At the Cu Chi Tunnels, we even went inside the tunnels. It was educational regarding the Vietnam War, and his explanations were very engaging. For long and difficult explanations, he used translation apps tailored to the Korean and Chinese tourists to help us understand carefully. He truly was the best guide.

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.

Honestly, I thought our tour guide yesterday was already really good. But then Kelvin became our tour guide, and I was like, “Wow, okay, he’s definitely my new standard for tour guides!” 😂 You definitely won’t get bored the entire trip with him. We learned so much, and he was genuinely so fun to be around—you’ll definitely find yourself laughing because of him! He was also super helpful whenever we had questions, and he could spot us so quickly in the crowd. He constantly checked on us to make sure we were okay. He also insisted on taking videos and photos of us, which was such a nice touch! He was very approachable and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole tour. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this tour, especially if you get Kelvin as your guide! He really made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. 100000000/10! ⭐️😂

Ne-a plăcut foarte mult acest tur, mai ales datorită ghidului nostru extraordinar, Puon. A fost atât de amabilă, de susținătoare și de grijulie, făcându-ne mereu fotografii și oferindu-ne sfaturi utile pentru a ne face șederea în Ho Chi Minh City și mai bună. Chiar au surprins-o pe mătușa mea cântându-i „La mulți ani”, ceea ce a făcut experiența cu adevărat specială. Turul a decurs fără probleme, chiar dacă a fost duminică, și ne-au plăcut mâncarea, muzica, animalele, plimbarea cu barca și experiențele unice. În afară de câțiva vânzători morocănoși de bomboane de cocos, toată lumea a fost prietenoasă. Doar să aveți apă la voi, pentru că poate fi destul de cald. Recomand cu căldură acest tur, mai ales cu Puon ca ghid!

everything was fun. the guide was very infomativw. will reffrrwwww was ßàw was w8⁹9íí9⁹7

Ho Chi Minh City is in the middle of its rainy season, and I was worried about sudden downpours. However, thanks to the tour operator switching the order of the Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels tours, we were able to avoid crowds and most of the rain. We only experienced a downpour at the very end of the Cu Chi Tunnels tour, allowing us to enjoy the rest of the trip. With the Mekong Delta tour, Cu Chi Tunnels, and a city bus night tour all included for this price, I think it's incredibly cost-effective. If you're looking for a Japanese-speaking tour, this is definitely the one to choose!
