Exceptional tour - loved it.
Diane_W, Feb 2024
Our guide was exceptional- nothing was too much trouble - he made sure I had vegan for all my meals. and they were lovely. We enjoyed all the tour very much.
Avery good full day out
Paul_H, Nov 2023
I was expecting to be crammed into mini van with about 10 other people. But was surprised to find there was only 2 of us on this tour. The tour guide was very informative and friendly. I enjoyed everything about this tour
Perfectly full and fun day!
Lisa_G, Jun 2023
This day trip had everything! As a small group, we explored small towns, local food and music, toured the Mekong Delta on a larger boat, on kayaks, and bikes! Took a cooking class, too. It flowed well and our tour guide Tom was exceptional! Would highly recommend.
Wow! - Mekong Delta....
AMANDA_J, May 2023
The Mekong Delta channels were great! So was the boat ride along the river - seeing how they live. The Floating Markets are not there anymore though.
Rain on the Mekong Delta!
Joseph_C, Apr 2023
We all enjoyed the tour. There was a moment the rains came in and you would think…Oh no we are about to get soaked! However, it was the perfect effect. It made me think hard about the conditions the soldiers had to endure. This is a must if you visit the country.
Mekong River Disaster
Matt_M, Mar 2023
The positives: 1) It was a small group of seven people as opposed to a large tour group: 2) the local food production tour was informative; and 3) the cooking lesson and local seafood was great. The negatives: 1) Our kayak tour was cancelled due to the low afternoon tide; 2) the bikes available for the bike tour were old, un maintained and frankly hazardous.; and 3) the tour guide was totally unprofessional in his behavior and speech. He yelled back at one of the older members in our group —who was upset that his wife fell off her bike— as all the bikes had some issue (misaligned wheels, broken pedals, non functional brakes). My son’s bike had broken pedals and mine had only one functional brake. The worst part was he was so hot headed he abandoned us toward the end of the bike tour and we had to figure out how to return to the camp by ourselves. Also forewarning it’s a long two and a half hour drive each way mostly in traffic and congestion. Lastly the Mekong river was a disappointment— too much floating plastic everywhere. Wish it could be cared be cared for at the same level as the streets of Ho Chi Minh.
Awesome day! Great value
Terry_R, Mar 2023
Meeting Tu, our guide ! He was very kind and knowledgeable. Loved the lunch, it was way beyond our expectations. Delicious. Had fun at our cooking class, the ladies were lovely. The tour as great value for the price. I would highly recommend doing this tour
Conform to description but disappointing
Sbastien_D, Jan 2023
Even if the tour was conform to the description, it was disappointing overall. The biking and the kayaking are done in the same place so you see twice the same thing. And you do kayak in a residential area which is quite ugly to be honest. There is no point in doing kayak if it is not to see something interesting. Also, we thought that the boat tour was in the mangroves as shown on the pictures. But, in fact, you stay all the time in the canals next to residential areas. Also, at one point, you are forced to listen to traditional music singers, which is quite awkward , and then force to tip them. In a nutshell I didn't really enjoy the tour and I wouldn't recommend it.
Mekong Delta Review
Hardeep_J, Jan 2023
The experience was fantastic, from start to finish. The tour guide was very welcoming, had immense knowledge and really made us enjoy this tour. Thank you!
A great tour with many activities
PHILIPPE_D, Dec 2022
Great tour with our fantastic guide KHOA who was very interesting in his explanations, very efficient , very good English speaker and with a great sense of humour .
Lovely experience, definitely recommended
Maxim_R, Aug 2022
We were only with 4 people, so it was almost like a private tour. Ele was a very friendly guide who gave lots of information about the places we were going and also about Vietnam and specifically about Saigon. Only downside was that the places we visited, people were very pushy to sell their stuff. This made it uncomfortable sometimes. Still, I would recommend the tour, as the benefits outperform the negatives. The biking, the different boat rides, etc. were all very charming and calming.
Spend your money on something else.
Drazen M, Jan 2020
Its not worth 38 dollars. The tour guide Chung and a van were only worth of money, but the tour was total garbage and tourist trap. Its written that tips are not mandatory, but everyone asks for tips. Everything was pretty much staget. Spend your money on something smarter.
Mekong Delta Tour
Elizabeth_M, Dec 2019
Alex was knowledgeable and informative in the tour. The tour was interesting. It is worth the value of what you’ve paid for and the experience was priceless.
Full but excellent day trip .
LADCEO, Apr 2019
Enjoyed an amazing day trip to the Tunnels and Mekong delta . We were only a group of 5 people and our excellent guide and driver . This made it even more special . The Tunnels were really interesting and the Mekong trip was beautiful scenery and great experience .
