Excellent Meckong Delta day trip by GADT & Rose - I would like to write a review for Meckong Delta day trip organised by GADT travels. It was a very well organised trip. Since we were travelling with infants, we have a lot of specific requirements. All those were very well taken care of by our tour guide. Special mention for Ms Rose (Hoa Nyuyen) who ensured everything was smoothly arranged and was at help whenever we needed anything. would recommend GADT travel and especially Rose for all Vietnam tour and travel requirement. We really enjoyed the local cuisine and the boat ride.

Sooo peaceful - We visited 2 islands, the unicorn and the dragon. It was lovely and so peaceful. The nature is great, the boats in the river is calming and the souvenirs are good. I bought coconut shell bowls, spoons and a rice wine of piton&scorpio :)

Great for an hour - Well something I was, expecting to be breath taking left me feeling a bit ungrateful... Sorry but an hour ea h day was enough for me. It was more like an 18 to 30 boat crawl with people getting bladdered and playing music load. Honestly I would have love it 20 years ago so please don't think I'm moaning but not quite what I expected.. The arrival in Pak beng was a bit strange, and wish I had of booked accommodation prior to arriving so suggest you do otherwise you'll end up feeling like a sheep herded into a tuck tuck dropped at some random hotel with no air con and looking decidedly dirty and tired. Thus place shuts up shop at 930 to 10 so don't think it's like Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai otherwise you could well be food less as your experience will havd been everything closes at midnight... I showered changed strolled down and was nothing open apart from a random shop. I can honestly say 30s and under will love but elder statesmen be aware unless you want to get drunk you'll be surrounded by people on a different level. Captive audience on boat so please please bring food and drink as not cheap on the boat. All in all an experience some amazing some not but this is just my opinion and anything is worth a try once.

Filthy river & uncomfortable coach - Maybe l've become disillusioned with Saigon/HCM, but everything is just so "touristy: & there is no feel of getting into nature or discovering the real Vietnam about this trip or any other l've done in this area! 2hrs they say to get there!!! Rubbish, they NEVER leave on time, they stop off at a toilet break & almost force you to do a factory tour, then you get there & you are herded around with the hundreds of other similar tours onto a boat that takes you to yet another tourist shop or similar. At one stage you do get onto a small paddled boat but it's like being on a busy street, except all the little boats are jostling for positions to get the tourists on & off as quickly as possible so they can go back to get yet another bunch of walking wallets! The food they give you is what we would throw away in the USA, & unless you like pig skin fried with cold rice, then take some food with you, because the long drive back into the city is equally as slow as getting to the filthy sewage outlet they call the Mekong Delta!!
