It’s so worth it for a day trip. The tour guide is really kind and patient. They do offer light dinner and even restaurant discount vouchers for lunch. ATV ride is so much fun.

Fantastic day and couldn’t be happier with the organization, value for money, activities and our tour guide Darren was awesome. Would highly recommend. A great day out. Even though it’s a long journey out of Ho Chi Minh, don’t let that put you off as the sleeper buses are first class! Thank you Johnny Tours.

Not satisfied
Loretta_B, August 2026
Was disappointing that we paid for a tour and still had to pay on top to ride an atv
Should have been within the pricing
And the sleeper bus on the way back was extremely uncomfortable and small spaces we both have sore backs and necks
Response from the operator · Johnnytours2010 Dear Loretta!
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate it.
We are sorry to hear that some parts of the tour did not meet your expectations, especially the return sleeper bus.
Regarding the ATV, we would like to clarify that this activity is optional and is not included in the tour price. This information is clearly stated in our tour description before booking, allowing guests to decide whether they would like to add the ATV experience.
As for the return sleeper bus, these buses are the standard sleeper buses commonly used in Vietnam for domestic travel. They are designed to accommodate most passengers comfortably. However, we understand that they may feel less spacious for taller guests, and we are sorry if this made your journey uncomfortable.
Throughout your trip, our team did our very best to organize everything smoothly—from your transportation to the Jeep tour in Mui Ne—and we genuinely cared about making your experience enjoyable.
We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with our transportation partner as we continue working to improve our services.
Thank you again for choosing Johnny Tours. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Vietnam and provide you with an even better experience.
Best regards,
Mr Johnny
The Johnny Tours Team!
