Well, it beat sitting around the hotel or taking your life into your own hands on the streets of the city, but I have to say that there wasn't much exciting or interesting in what we were shown. As mentioned before, they just herd you from one tourist trap to another, as is the case on most tours.
The boat trip in the canoe was probably the best bit, but that was too similar to other trips in canoes in other jungles in other countries that I (Ireland's Bruce Parry!) had seen before. It was good value though, it has to be said. The day trip cost about €9 with lunch and various other snacks thrown in. The guide was a nice chap, but only marginally more understandable in English than his native Vietnamese!
So, save yourself a 15 hour plane trip, risking your life in the city traffic, over 4 hours in a bus, another 4 plus on various boats and just read my blog!!
