Amazing mekong delta river full day tour.

Alfredo_P, Dec 2023

Thank you Mia from Travelmate Ho Chi Minh branch for an amazing full day tour to Mekong Delta River. Boat ride was really a great experience. Fruits served was sweet and local seranade really entertained us. Lunch was also fantastic specially the fish wrap with rice paper. Hope to be back again soon. 👍👍👍.

Great experience!

TuongVi_N, May 2023

Andrew and Lynelle

andrew_s, May 2023

This tour was a wonderful day - our guide nick named King Kong was just brilliant- lots to see and do during the day and a most memorable lunch - thank you so much for the day !

Mazing day trip

Eric_J, Apr 2023

Nice experience. Guide is so nice and knowledgeable. Love the trip. Certainly will recommend friends.

Fun trip on the iconic Mekong

Elise_M, Dec 2022

We had a great day exploring the Mekong river with Candy, a very informative guide who gave us a great experience on our day trip from HCM/Saigon.

Would not waste my time!

Sejal_P, Jan 2020

So I would skip this tour as traffic is bad and it takes forever to get out to the Delta. We were late so had to rush everything throughout the day and the boat ride was crazy. The workers constantly asking for money and then would just sit there in the water and now row. They were rude and not friendly. Then it took us forever to get back because of traffic. I'd spend my time in the city and skip this tour. Not worth it!

Value for money

Amanda_V, Dec 2019

Although tiring, this was a very interesting tour made exceptional by our guide Hurricane Honey who kept the momentum up with his humour and constant positive vibes. The contents of the tour were very well thought out and we experienced more than we expected..from a sampan ride to boat rides, pretty decent lunch and fortunately, good weather. All went according to time and we returned to our hotel happy that we made the trip.

NIce trip

Marko M, Nov 2019

It was a nice trip. The guide "Fatty" was funny and kept the group happy. The islands were nice, especially the boat rides. Lunch was OK. I recommend

Good value and worth doing

noonoo5048, Oct 2019

We enjoyed this tour which was a full day. I have done this tour previously in 2007, but it was a half day only. Our tour guide was Typhoon Honey, a very jovial male guide who used humour throughout the day and was informative. He was very good to us. Overall it was good value for money. We drove from HCMC (1,5 hours) to a Buddhist Temple and then onto our boat to begin the tour. We had a comfortable van with air conditioning and was comfortable for the 8 of us onboard, but if all seats were occupied it would have been a bit cramped (which is normal). Our group made the day worthwhile and it was great to meet other similar minded people. Once we arrived at Unicorn Is (in the middle of the Mekong River) we learnt about candy making. We then ventured around the corner for the mandatory cultural activity ie: local singers & dancers who approach every group and perform (whether wanted or not) and then seeking a donation. We walked through the local village and at one point were advised that we'd have an island tour in two golf buggies. Off we went, but quite literally, the carts drove up one road for about 2 minutes, did a U-turn and went back to where we came from.......that was it !! Hilarious, but a complete waste of time obviously. There was a long boat trip within a mekong canal on the island....quite literally you could smell the mud. Not a bad experience, worth it, but not the highlight I was expecting. Lunch was good and there was too much food for us to get through. As stated, overall it is worth doing and the cost justifies what you receive. Overall there could be a little bit more polish, but hey, you get to see a bit of the real Vietnam in the South and it was still memorable.

Too lame. Too much tip begging.

sparklesnow1128, Oct 2019

Mekong river in total is not interesting. You get bored. All attractions(honey bee and etc.) are lame and mostly ask you to buy stuff. I got bored soon.

Mekong tour

CherylTyler, Oct 2019

Had a great tour and the guide was very knowledgeable about the area and he was friendly too. The trip on the boats was fun.

Nice day on river

Daniel_P, Oct 2019

This was a nice, touristy way to see & experience the river & surrounding mangroves. Had 10 in our group which was a little tight in the van. It is a full 90 drive each way to & from the river. Our ride was quite rough, not sure if it was the road or the van. Not only do you cross the big river, you also take several other smaller boat rides. Several demonstrations along the way w/ most expecting a tip so make sure you bring a bunch of small bills. The included fruit & lunch were both good & filling. Can’t say that I would do it again but was glad we did it. Honey was our guide & he spoke good English & was a fun guide.

Great introduction to the Mekong Delta

Susanne_H, Aug 2019

Dan and the team gave us a great introduction to the Mekong Delta region. The sights, the boat trips, the meals and Dan's sense of humour made for a fabulous day.

Vinh made it super fun for us.

729anjan, Jul 2019

Our tour guide/manager was Vinh. He made sure we had hassle free pickups and the journey was most enjoyable. He helped understand many things and explained local customs, things, and any questions we had he answered with great knowledge. Also the places we went were wonderful and super fun. The lunch was the best part. Such a laviuos lunch and super yummy too. Boating was fun too. A great tour and a must if you want to explore Mekong delta.

Excellent Tour and Tour Guide

Timeka_Y, May 2019

Sarah's knowledge of Mekong and Vietnam was excellent. She was personable and funny to everyone. The history, food and experience was amazing

Excellent day at the Mekong Delta

LUIS_R, Apr 2019

Very informative e interesting tour with an excellent guide. The tour was more that I expected, and the people in the group were very friendly.

Easy exploring..

Georgia_S, Jan 2019

What a great way to experience the Mekong! Our tour guide (Steven) was funny, engaging and upbeat for the whole tour, showing us all kinds of stuff along the way. Highly recommend!

Great day trip from Ho Chi Minh City

Kimberly_M, Jan 2019

Our guide Jack was great and helpful with giving us information and guiding us. This was a wonderful day long getaway from the big city. Even though the water was pretty choppy that day getting to the smaller canals (no one can help the weather), the ride along the canal was peaceful and nice.

Nothing much to see if you are from SEA countries

Eddy_W, Dec 2018

If you are from SEA countries, nothing much to see and experience. You’ll be taken around the different place by boat and walk through the island. We thought the amount we paid per person already included everything but it was really unpleasant towards the end of the trip when the tour guide Viet Long was forcefully asking us for “tips for the boat people”. And asking everyone to cough $4.00 each person for the boat. He said its up to you, but when we were not there, he specificaly asked a family member if we gave our tips for him yet. We thought that was outragerous!The fees for the boat should have bern included in our $65 USD fees payment each person for the trip itself.

Fun day at Mekong

Mohamed_D, Dec 2018

Great day. Our tour guide Tony is super caring. I brought my 74 yr old mother whom he took care well esp when we hopped from one boat to another. Worth the money spent esp in a small grp.
