We booked two trips with Ginkgo Voyage. The Mekong delta & half day Cu Chi Tunnels (private trips). Both were amazing and we learnt a lot however the best part was our guide Ben. He was incredible, full of so much knowledge & taught us so much more than we expected. Highly recommend this company to everyone.

The trip was great! Our host Ben was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam. We explored various cultural gems of the Mekong Delta and went for a lovely bike ride before lunch. Would highly recommend!!
