Very disappointed, the mini bus shown on web was a decent nice bus when I placed a booking but bus that sent to us was a 1970 model, uncomfortable ride and cannot see outside unless you bend down to see it, got sore neck after the trip. No worth for what we paid.
One of the best days of our stay in Vietnam. Tony , our guide was a gem. Not overwhelming with info, yet enough to educate. The Starfish bay was a dream, the pepper fields too
We had the privilege of exploring the island with an experienced guide with a good command of the English language. He took us to all the places of interest and could share his local knowledge of life on the island. The walk in the jungle, the visit to starfish beach, the boat ride and the lunch on the jetty stood out for us. Doing the tour in an old army jeep , especially in the thunderstorm we experienced,made the tour more exciting. All credit to our guide with his excellent driving skills. He did not hesitate to take us where we want to go and he was very patient at all the stops to allow us maximum time to create our memories of Vietnam. Thanks Tong for taking us on the tour. Will recommend you to future travellers. Faith and Johannes
Best tour ever swimming chilli's fun wife happiest ever water falls amazing driver amazing boat soy sauce was an experience never to forget? Fish market amazing still swimming. Vu is the best tour guide we have ever had! We have done 100's of tours
We loved this trip showing the real Phu Quoc, visiting a pepper farm with so many different kinds of fruit that we sampled straight off the tree plus the different types of peppers. The local markets where the vast displays of fresh seafood were there to see,locals purchasing. The temple was beautiful. Our highlight were the natural waterfalls and having a cooling swim in a pool of clear water. The fisherman’s village provided a huge meal with drinks with the sea breeze and talking to our excellent guide about life in Phu Quoc, a very memorable trip
We loved this trip. Our guide was very kind, very professional and he had a great knowledge about Phu Quoc and Vietnam in general. He spent a lot of time with us, he wasn's rushing us. We felt safe. This trip is also a great value for money. I highly recommend it to people (all age groups really).
We looked for a tour experience of places to see plus star fish beech also local markets, temples, pearl, fish sauce, and pepper factories which actually after visiting were good to see well recommended. Thong our guide had good knowledge of the places which we learned a lot from him. Star fish beach we had concerns as reading other reviews but we thought we check it out ourselves to see. i would recommend visiting the beach now as the tourists are low and hard to reach the beach at the moment due to bumpy road, plus I believe more restrictions will put in place if the numbers of visitors rises. The issue I can see is the other tourists who think taking star fish out of the see and put them on the beech think is OK. Why???star fish don’t live on the beech. Thong is not happy about this and him myself and wife told a couple of tourists who pick them up to put them on the hot beech not to do this which they actually ignored us at first, but finally after us telling them a few times they did put them back, please tell anyone not to do this if you visit. I think there should be signs telling visitors not to do this. Lunch was great as you choose what you wanted, plus Thong stopped a few times to get more water and a cold beer. Our tour back to the hotel was great as we changed from mini bus to a US army vehicle. Also the tour it’s not a full day only 6 hours which was ideal for us. If you looking for a great personal experience then I would suggest going with Tour around Phu Quoc tours. Well worth the money
Si was the most wonderful tour guide who couldn’t be more accommodating to our needs. This tour is great value and swimming with the starfish was fantastic. Highly recommend.
During our short stay in Phu Quoc (we were onboard of a cruise ship), we went in an island tour with Thong. He showed us around and provided us with interesting information about all the places we visited. We have enjoyed the tour very much! The included lunch was delicious (fried rice with lemongrass ginger chicken, pork belly and shrimps) and the scenery at the Starfish Beach is totally memorable. We highly recommend this tour! Everything was comfortable and very much to our linking (airco, water, beer, etc). Thank you, Thong!🇻🇳
We have a fantastic day, our guide was the best!! So friendly and knowledgeable!! Totally recommend, the mini bus has AC and music, so the trip was enjoyable!
Than took us to see behind the touristy places in PhuQuoc, we loved the fish sauce, pepper, the history of the pearl museum. The fishing village lunch was a highlight. Most of all we loved the way Than shared the history and the culture of the island!!
We had a wonderful trip with Tung in his old US Army Minibus. Fortunately, we were the only customers for the trip so the places we visited were somewhat personalised including Pearl Farm, Fish Sauce factory, Pepper Farm (far more interesting than expected), a walk in the Jungle, followed by a lovely lunch and a visit to Starfish Beach. Tung is a an excellent, friendly and knowledgeable guide and a great sense of humour. Phu Quoc Tours are very highly recommended.
The markets and lunch at starfish Beach. The transport was comfortable, a/c very welcome each time we got back in the car! Vulnerable our guide was excellent, we had a lot of fun with him.
We have a great time with Thomas and his team to discover Phu Quoc Island. We select the visit of the north of the island. We went to the temple, starfish island, seafood restaurant, pepper farm, Nuoc Mam and Pearl Farm shop. It was a wonderful and pleasant day with very good atmosphere and fun time. Thomas’s team take care of you from the picking point at your hotel until the end of the tour. Nothing to say what they can improve! All was perfect! For sure I will make another tour for my next visit of the island.
It was great and was fun. Thanh was very flexible with the program.
The tour was great! We had booked a group tour, got VIP. Thong is a great, friendly guide who knows and tells a lot about the country and people and responds to (special) requests 😊. We went to a pearl, pepper and fish sauce factory/farm, visited the prison museum, at Khem Beach (weather permitting, instead of Starfish Beach and the fishing village) and had the best food in Vietnam together with Thong. We had a lot of fun! Cảm ơn, Thong!
It was not offered what was purchased: > instead of an A/C minibus, a guide who didn't know the tour schedule came with a rickety military jeep who had already gone through the Vietnam War and was equipped with a steel helmet and field bottle. We as old-agers had a lot of trouble getting on the vehicle and therefore stopped the tour after 10 minutes.
Very nice outing to discover Duong Dong, its temples and its market. Interesting visit to a pepper farm on the road that took us to Rach Vem and its starfish beach. Very nice guide.
Nice little ride in a jeep van out of age. A guide, Tong, very attentive and pleasant for a very touristic tour but which allowed us to discover the island.
The trip was very well organized. It allowed me to see many points of interest on the island in a single day. The beach with the starfish is amazing. The food was exquisite. The guide was very friendly and always answered all my questions. If you are on the island, take this tour :)
