  • J

    Joel

    Asked on December 15th, 2024

    Is the guide English-speaking? Can we visit a floating market? Is it possible to add a ferry departure to Phu Quoc at the end of the trip?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Wonderscape TravelOperatorWritten December 2024

      This is a group tour with English-speaking guides. The tour does not include a floating market. For a French-speaking guide and floating market visit, we can arrange a private tour at a higher price. To get to Phu Quoc, a flight is recommended. By ferry, you would need to drive 7-8 hours to another harbor.
