A must do excursion when visiting HCMC! - Visiting the daily life and culture on the Mekong Delta was a must for my wife and I and this excursion did not disappoint. Trinh our guide made the magic happen and she was just fantastic throughout! Visiting the organic cocoa farm was an unexpected gem. And we topped it off with an incredible meal at a vegan restaurant. I would recommend this excursion with 5+ stars to anyone! A couple of small details for the tour company. Maybe offer bottled water to your guests. It's a very long e cushion not to be offered a bottle of water. Same as a pit stop if needed on the trip there and back. 3 hours in a mini van each way is a long time to not stop for a quick break. Thank you!

Amazing Mekong Delta Tour with Phong - Our Classic Mekong Delta & Cai Rang Floating Market tour was a truly unforgettable day. The organization was excellent, but what made it outstanding was our guide, Phong. He was kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Even though the tour wasn’t mainly about history, he happily answered all our questions and shared so much about Vietnam’s past and culture, which made the experience even more meaningful.
The Cai Rang Floating Market was a highlight – watching the busy river life and having breakfast on the water felt authentic and unique. We also explored quiet canals, visited small islands, and enjoyed peaceful boat rides surrounded by the lush scenery of the Delta.
Another highlight was the food. We tried so many different local specialties, from fresh fruit to traditional dishes, and even visited places where they are produced, such as a fish farm and village workshops. Stops at orchards and historic buildings gave us a deeper look into rural life and traditions.
Overall, the tour offered the perfect mix of culture, food, and scenery. Thanks to Phong's guidance, we came home with not only great memories but also a deeper appreciation for Vietnam. Highly recommended!

Awesome river experience... - Awesome river experience with guide Trinh. 2 hour drive each way from HCMC to can tho, then a local market , boat ride, food and cocoa family plantation. Well explained, food is included. Budget about 6.5 hours, door to door service.

Don’t hesitate, request Gin as your tour guide! - The tour bus accommodates up to 10 people but when you get to the boats for the Mekong river, you split into 2 groups. From there, your adventure differs depending on who your guide is. Gin was great, does a lot of food tours so our Mekong delta tour deviated a bit from what was listed on the itinerary and we were not disappointed! Our group was a bit confused about this but when we asked she explained that they like to cater each experience to the group an keep it a surprise! Keep an open mind and immerse yourself in the Vietnamese experience!

Floating Markets...Not to be Missed with Nhu Y. - Great day trip from Saigon! The floating markets are not to be missed and Nhu Y was a superb guide. She's a "local" and knows many of the people one is going to meet. Her knowledge of the area, traditions and culture are second to none. Nhu Y made the best of some inclement weather...ensuring I remained as dry as possible. You cannot go wrong with her!!

An amazing day - Me and my friend had an amazing time on this tour. Our guidelines believe her name is Nhú and the gentleman that was hired to pick us up and drop off in Ho Chi Minh were so sweet and we really felt taken care of. We had pho for breakfast and we opted for the full day tour so we had lunch at a restaurant after the cruise around the Mekong, the restaurant was amazing and we got to spend a little extra time with our guide, I would highly recommend this tour.

Not as advertised - We booked a 5 hour tour. The tour was 16.5 hours long.
We were not notified of the merger onto another tour so we were not prepared for a long day and one of walking off the beaten track (i was in sandles).
The aspects we had booked were good-the floating markets, the boat tour and the noodle factory. The rest was a lot of fish farms which i would have happily not seen (and were not meant to be on the tour we booked). The food though was all very good. The guides were also lovely.
