5 star for and amazing adventure - While scrolling the tripadvisor for a tour in Saigon, I came across this Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 1 Day. Even though there’s a lot of activities to be done and operated by so many tour agent, I purposely choose this tour because of our requirement for halal foods. Mr. Lee, our tourist guide is kind of expert with Muslim traveller (most of his clients are Muslim from Malaysia, Singapore, and South East Asia countries). This was a private comprehensive trip (just for my family of 3 adults and 2 kids) starting from our hotel pickup(Novotel Saigon) until we reach Delta Mekong(1 hour plus) and back to our hotel. Mr Lee knows the proper halal requirement and was a knowledgeable tour guide explaining things seen along the way even before reaching the intended place. Lunch was provided somewhere in a mosque near Mekong river. Overall experience was great and I will definitely recommend this trip to any Muslim Travellers.

Excellent Tour of Mekong Delta - I would say this is the best tour in Ho Chi Minh. My families and I of 7, felt welcomed, and with such a friendly atmosphere, we had a fantastic start! The tour guide, Lee, was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. All respect to Lee who does a great job there, He is a true example of an excellent tour guide! Lee, being a knowledgeable and capable guide, really knows what he's talking about, being always on top with everything you need to know about the history! In addition, a humorous guy although we met him the first time, but we felt we knew him for a long time. Our journey on the road to Mekong area, was a fruitful experience. Visited Unicorn Island and Coconut Island. Had a boat trip, a pony ride and a ride on sampan. The tour was very insightful and I wouldn't hesitate booking with this tour again. In addition, the tour program was scheduled well, was on time. We didn't miss anything during the tour program.
PS: I am glad to have cancelled with the other tour. We booked Cu Chi Tunnel with them for the previous day and it was horrendous. But this tour lifted our spirits up the next day! Phew!

Mekong - Amazing Experience - The 1hr trip to Mekong was filled with great insight of Mekong river and Vietnam history from our bubbly, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, Mr Lee. As it was during offpeak season, we were able to spend more time at a more relaxed pace. I was given the opportunity to row the sampan, I wonder how she managed for 15yrs doing this job.
We stopped by at the charcoal bamboo factory, coconut candy manufacturer, bee farm, cocoa production, horse ride round the island, traditional village song with local fruits, sampan ride & souvenir shop. Halal lunch was included and it was super delicious.
Well, thumbs up for our tour guide, for being patient with us, to explain, give details and be our translator for the day.

Thumbs up! - We took a one day trip to Cai Be Village from Ho Chi Minh City. It was about a 2hr comfortable ride with a knowledgeable guide and a careful driver. We got to see the Mekong river and mingle with the locals at the village. A great option to get away from busy HCM city for a day. Recommended.
