The itinerary for this half day trip was good. No rush. Although it is just half a day. The journey to Mekong Delta, at Mekong Delta was made wonderful with the great engagement and explanation of the history and also lesson on climate changes affecting the delta and people by our guide Mr Tam. He is caring and ensure that all are well taken care of.
Truly enjoyed the trip and acquired more knowledge by a city dweller.
