Good to know: the 100,000₫ group option has no foreign-language guide and stops are more shopping-focused (honey, tea and candy shops). The private boat options (500,000–600,000₫) are guide-free and don't include breakfast, drinks or fruit. The 650,000₫ private tour below includes everything, with your choice of an English or French-speaking guide, and is our most popular pick for guests staying with us.
