The biking tour through the Mekong Delta was a real success! We are completely satisfied with your service. Mr Van, our guide, was a very motivated and professional guide. He knows very nice places and little paths where to bike, we had several stops to taste local fruit etc. I would highly recommend this tour to everybody going to Vietnam, it was one of my preferred tours in Vietnam (we did several little organized tours)!
