          Fantastic trip to Mekong Delta!
          Thank you Ms My - for the tour with you! The guide spoke fluently english and this made the trip even better! She took us through each attraction in details, but also told us a lot about the modern Vietnam and how it is today. Funny and very educated! Came with maps to make us understand where are we in the mekong! We would highly recommend the driver, the guide and the company for a great experience at historic places near Saigon!

          Amazing Cu Chi Tunnels
          We had an amazing private tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels tour. But price we can compare with other companies which provide small group tour. Our guide My was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us. We would like to recommend this one to everyone come to Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you.

          Amazing Cu Chi Tunnels, Great Service
          The tour was a great experience and we all enjoyed it so much. Thank you to Truong for excellent guidance and making this trip so enjoyable. We had so much fun and we were able to maximize our limited time in Vietnam with Truong's expert guidance. We love the Saigon tour packages we availed of. Kudos to your company and your flexibility in arranging tour packages that suit our needs. We highly recommend this tour. Thanks so much.

          Lots of fun in Mekong Delta, we did with our guide!!!!!!
          I had a fantastic trip. My parents enjoyed the trip as well, which was very important for me. The trip brought back a lot of good memories for both my parents when they were little. Life in a village. Second, you kept your words in terms of the food. Thank you. You were very patience with all my silly questions before i booked the tour. You replied my email super fast, which was the main reason why i chose to go for the tour with Athena Travel Vietnam. Thank you so much. Third, Amazing Ken kept my father entertained with all the history of vietnam and my mother laughed with all his silly jokes. Not only that he kept the one day Mekong delta tour exciting even though he has done the tour tons of time. Tracy is also respectful of both my parents which really impressed me. I will definetly do more tours with Athena Travel Vietnam if Tracy is the tour guide of course. :) Thank you from our hearts.

          Wonderful Mekong Delta & Cao Dai - Cu Chi Tunnels Tour and excellent guide!!!
          Thanks to Athena Travel Vietnam for making our trip to Ho chi Minh enjoyable (including Cao Dai Temple and Cu Chi Tunnels tour & Floating market in Mekong delta tour). I would like to give some credits to your staff Ms Tracy on handling my bookings who is very helpful and provide very prompt reply to all my emails on any inquiries. It has been a pleasure having Thuong as our guide -- she is an epitome of excellence in service. She went beyond what was expected of her. She was sensitive to the needs of her guests and she adjusted accordingly. She has become a dear friend of ours.We had so much fun and we were able to maximize our limited time in Vietnam. We love the Saigon tour packages we availed of. Thank you.

          Nice Service
          Saw the introduction on tripadvisor and checked them out on the Internet. They do have very extensive tours to choose, each with very clear introduction and price. I also wrote email to ask several questions about the tour (Cu Chi Tunnels) I am interested, and they gave detailed answers within a day. The half day trip to Cu Chi Tunnels for my family (4 people) cost 152 USD. The guide nicely chatted with us all way through. We enjoyed the trip and the agent's arrangement very much.
