Roadstour Verified Company

Good

English (Dutch below): We wanted to escape from the crowded Ho Chi Minh City and enjoy Can Gio in comfort. There's a lot of choice in booking agents, but the quality seems questionable and the choice in daytrips to Can Gio seems a bit limited. We chose for Roadstour and we don't regret. We contacted Roadstour pretty last minute (1,5 day before we wanted to do the tour) and we had some trouble finding the office. This was no problem for the owner, Cap van Phung. We arranged everything on the phone and he even offered to come to our hotel to discuss the trip. The owner is very friendly and his English is good. He called during the tour to check if everything was okay. If you're looking for a private trip, or if you want comfort, I can really recommend Roudstour. Also if you want a personalized / customized trip, this is your way to go. If youre on a tight budget, there is a ton of choice. Dutch: We needed some rest and wanted to experience Can Gio in a comfortable way; away from the crowds and masses. In HO Chi Minh there is more than enough choice on the street for cheaper and group travel. For some reason, the offer to Can Gio is somewhat limited. After some searching on the internet we chose Roadstour and we do not regret it. The booking was a bit short (1.5 day in advance) and we couldn't find the booking office. This was no problem for the owner: we were able to arrange everything on the phone and he even offered to come to our hotel to plan the trip there. Everything was arranged quickly and well, with room for your own wishes. Owner Cap van Phung speaks good English and is very friendly. If you are looking for a private tour or comfort, this is a must. Even if you want customization in your trip, this is way to go. If you are looking for a cheap trip, it is better to walk into any booking office on the street.

When we arrived at Ho Chi Minh City, it was decided in advance, that we should experience the Cu Chi tunnels and the Mekong River. We found several places and ended up choosing Rodstour PRT Apricot - Cu Chi Tunnel - Mekong Delta Tour Full Day, even though they were not the cheapest. We are really glad that we did, because it ended up being a great and cool trip :-). The day started very early in the morning, which of course was a bit hard for our 2 boys at 5 and 8 years. But fortunately for us it got better, because we were greeted by a great guide with a good mood. Soon after, the driver arrived, and then we came to the tunnels. We got a really good tour of the tunnels, and the children also came around the tunnels, some of which were unfortunately too small for the adults. But it was still a huge experience for all of us. You got a really good understanding of how it had been during the war. Then we were driven to a very nice place where there was a lovely restaurant. Here was a lot of different and very special dishes served for us, unfortunately we did not dare to eat it all, but most of it was really good. Once again we drove by car again and then we arrived at the Mekong River, where we were going out sailing a little. Here the boys were allowed to steer the boat, which they thought was really fun. When we had sailed a little, we arrived at a small island where we should see how to make candy. It was something the youngest one, thought was really exciting :-) We were driven by carriage to a place where we had a little to eat. Here our boys were allowed to hold or have a pyton snake around the neck. We did not dare ourselves, but the oldest of the boys did :-) Before we went home we sailed in a kayak or gondola through the river. We really felt like being in the middle of the jungle. It was the most beautiful and some of the wildest we had ever tried. Unfortunately the trip only took about 10-15 minutes, because it was really special Eventually, the whole family rounded a palm tree trip to pick up coconut nuts. It was a little flat feeling unfortunately when a ladder was used, but again the kids thought it was a party. Throughout this trip we were guided through the day, by the most amazing girl Truong Meo also called Ashley. She spoke fluent English and really understood the boys and gave us all an excellent trip, with a lot of lessons that we enjoy. Without her, the trip had never been the same.

Phung was a fantastic tour guide. He had strong connections with locals and was able to take us places many other tours couldn't. We got to cut down our own coconuts from a local farmer's palm farm. The private tour was very flexible and we decided to change the order of events in our day to avoid traffic, which worked wonderfully. Overall, a great day at a more than competitive price.
