May 19, 2021 Merry Kessler

Can Tho is the main city of the Mekong Delta, the "nine dragon river delta" where the Mekong River empties into the South China Sea. It's also the main transportation center for the region. The extensive canals make for a pleasant boat ride, and the nearby floating markets offer authentic goods and exotic local fruit. *Fly into Ho Chi Minh City International Airport where you can take a car or van (approximately 4 hours) to Can Tho.

We had a two room boat for two couples and the rooms were roomy and pretty comfortable. More than any of us expected. The open-air deck was great to watch the shore go by and have a glass of wine. The food was amazing and our expeditions interesting. The staff was very friendly and Julie was very accommodating and knowledgable. We felt like friends after 2 days. The only down side is the shower is not the best but this is a small boat after all.

I have been living and working in Southern Vietnam for 10 years and I love this country very much. On our first time to visit the North, we decided to travel to Ha Giang, Ban Gioc Waterfall, and Ba Be Lake. We chose Conical Travel according to one of our friends who did the trip with them. The six-day trip amazed and impressed us with the beauty of the natural landscape in the moutainous areas. Each of the destinations we visited has its own mesmerizing features and we had chance to interact with the local people. Our kids had great lessons about how the people in these regions survive without the modernization. In short, the trip was very very very excellent. We love Vietnam so much, from the bottom of our hearts! Andrew, Lorna & kids

This was a fantastic tour! Ram introduced us to some amazingly tasty vegan dishes which we would never have found ourselves. The food stops took us through a variety of interesting neighbourhoods in the heart of the city giving us a much greater insight into the real Saigon than any standard tourist tour. Ram is a mine of information about Vietnamese history and culture and we really enjoyed finding out more about daily life in Saigon. Very good value and highly recommended!

Can’t review our Vietnam trip of a life time because Covid destroyed our dreams but definite 5/5 for the people at Asianlink. Nothing was a problem. Gave us a credit when Covid first hit then when serious illness decided to raise its head never flinched. Gave us our money back without question. Can’t recommend enough.
