Amazing Mekong Delta Experience! - We had a wonderful time on the Mekong Zigzag Full Day tour from Ho Chi Minh City to Ben Tre. The best part was that there were only 4 tourists in total, so it felt very private and relaxed — not crowded at all. Our guide, Vu, was excellent — very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The mix of scooter ride, sailboat, and local food made the tour very unique. Riding through village roads and seeing local life was a highlight, and the sailboat ride on the Mekong was peaceful and scenic. The lunch was heavy with lot of Vietnamese food. Overall, a perfect tour if you want a more personal and local Mekong Delta experience. Highly recommended! 👍

He accompanied us throughout the day in a friendly, attentive and very considerate way, sharing many interesting facts about the Mekong and its residents. The transportation was well organized and the communication left no questions unanswered. Keep up the great work🙏

Amazing-wonderful experience - We had this tour yesterday and we had an amazing time. An, our guide, was an amazing and nice lady, she was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was really a unique experience, not touristy at all what we preferred and why we choose this trip. Scooter ride was amazing, we visited coconut factories, and we had a delicious lunch at a homestay. What a hospitality. I'd rate this tour above the maximum if i could😊 it was beyond my expectations😊

Fantastic Mekong Delta tour - We booked this last minute and it proved to be a highlight of the trip! It felt relaxed and genuine, far away from the tourist hordes. The boat ride at the end was the perfect way to enjoy the Delta. Highly recommend!

FIVE STARS! ⭐ - This was the highlight of my trip visiting Ho Chi Minh and visiting the Mekong River Delta with this group is a MUST! An extremely intimate experience to personally take in the river and the community without it being swamped with trashy commercial tourism. The team from driving there, arriving and their whole hospitality for the day was outstanding. This is something I will cherish forever, thank you!

Lovely tour at a relaxed pace - We had a great experience with our guide An. She and our drivers were very attentive and followed up with requests for pickup/dietary needs. The pace was relaxed and it was nice to get away from the busy city. I had an injury and it was perfectly comfortable as there was not much walking at all and plenty of breaks. The iterary covered several short stops to see how some of the products are made in the region. Note: for those being picked up from HCMC make sure to be flexible for return time in case there is any road traffic back, which we encountered on the busy weekend

Awesome Mekong Delta Tour - I absolutely loved every part of this tour. The boat trip, the scooter ride, and the food were all amazing. During the scooter tour, we made many wonderful stops and learned a lot about local life. The nature was incredibly beautiful, and An was an awesome guide. The tour didn’t feel touristy at all. The pick-up and drop-off from Ho Chi Minh City were also very smooth and well organized. Thank you, An, for this fantastic experience!
