A Wonderful Ben Tre Tour - We did a one-day trip to Ben Tre with Mekong ZigZag. Everything went smoothly and the pace was comfortable, not rushed. Kane, our guide, is from the area and talked a lot about local life. It didn’t feel scripted and we could ask questions anytime. During the boat ride we stopped for fresh water coconut, cut straight from the palmtree. Simple thing, but really nice and refreshing. We also really liked the sampan ride through the small canals. It was a very pleasant day and a good way to see a quieter part of the Mekong Delta.

Amazing Tour with Nhan - Had a wonderful solo trip with Nhan. He is a great tour guide. The boat was so gorgeous and seeing the Ben Tre river is a very special experience. I'm half Vietnamese and visiting family, and the people on the tour honestly treated me like family. I felt at home.

Unforgettable excursion - I had an unforgettable excursion to the Mekong Delta with Kane! He is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about sharing the local traditions and way of life. Thanks to him, I learned so much and got to experience the region in a very authentic and meaningful way. It was an amazing day from start to finish. Kane, if you ever visit Montréal or France, don’t hesitate to contact me — I’d love to show you around! I highly recommend his tour to anyone looking for a genuine and enriching experience. 🌿

Amazing day in Mekong Delta! - Amazing trip showcasing the beauty and culture of the Mekong Delta. Kane was an incredible guide and Ana the loveliest driver. We visited several local workshops, learned so much about the region and Vietnam as a whole, and you could truly feel that Kane cared about giving us the best experience possible. The lunch was delicious, the boat ride wonderfully relaxing, and the entire day felt thoughtfully organized and genuinely authentic. It’s a full, enriching experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Mekong Delta. One of the highlights of my trip!

Best Mekong Delta Experience - We had an amazing day with An and Kane showing us around local villages, the Mekong River and telling us about culture and traditions. The lunch at the home stay was a highlight as well. Can definitely recommend this tour as they make this a really personal tour for you to experience.

Best Mekong Delta Tour - This was my second time doing the tour with An and it didn't disappoint. Perfect tour for all ages. Really gets away from the crowds and offers way more than the big tour groups.

Amazing family tour with Mekong ZigZag - We are an Australian family of 5 with young children and this was by far the best tour we have done. The Mekong ZigZag tour was perfectly organised, extremely family friendly and a really fun way to experience the Mekong without the tourist crowds. From start to finish everything flowed smoothly, our guide Zung was warm and full of knowledge, patient with our kids and made every stop interesting and easy for our family. The activities were a great mix of hands on, relaxing and educational. We loved the boat ride, local home stay lunch feast and the other little surprises along the way. We were treated to lots of delicious food and drinks and felt very safe and looked after, Zung never rushed us. The whole day felt like a genuine insight into life in the Mekong. Highly recommended this tour for families! It was enjoyable, memorable and a highlight of our trip in Vietnam.

Highly recommend to book the tour! - It was a great tour and Ann was such an amazing guide! I did the Full Day Tour starting from Ben Tre. From visiting a Chocolate and Coconut Candy factory, drinking fresh coconut water and sugar cane drink and having great lunch, to driving around the landscape and having a picturesque boat tour in hidden place with almost no other tourist - everything was really nice! In the end we also visited the Ben Tre Market and had some streed food. I had an amazing day!

Highly recommended! - Everything worked great, we booked a small group tour and were still alone. It was not touristy as we were the only visitors in the area. All the people of the team were very very friendly and our tour guide An spoke very good English and was very nice. She loves her job, you could tell. Also the food and the boat trip were nice. We were picked up at the hotel at 7.30am and at about 4.30pm we went back to HCMC. Many thanks to the team for this day.
