Very pleasant tour - We had a very good time in this tour. Ken is a nice guy, very helpful and very good host. He drived us in Mekong Delta and shared his knowledge with us. Starting with the brick factory, continued with a cruise in the river, get a tour in the village to see how they create the chocolates and different handling of a coconut. Then did bycling around the village, get lunch (very nice fish) and finally tour closed with a cano ride. It was not crowded and we enjoyed every moment. I recommend it for anyone. Tks Ken. 👍

Taste of the Mekong Delta without lots of other tour groups - Great way to see the real life of the Mekong Delta without big sales pitches wherever you went We saw only 1 or 2 other tour groups. The mix of boat tours and cycling really worked. Our guide Ken spoke very good English as was very friendly and knowledgeable

Mekong River Tour - We really Enjoyed this tour with NAM! He was so attentive and entertaining from start to finish!! My hubby got car sick on the ride over due to the bumpy fast ride—NAM came to the rescue! He also took some Amazing Pics of our tour 🤩 Extremely grateful he was our tour guide we had a great experience. We’ll never forget it and will think of him when I hear Happy Hour & Lucky $$

A 5 star experience with a great guide - Huy was such a great guide - he's very friendly and immediately puts a smile on your face. After taking a few other tours, Huy was by far my favorite guide. No one else we toured with has matched his energy and knowledge. My husband and I enjoyed every part of our tour, especially the bike ride through the local neighborhood in Mekong Delta. The one thing to be wary of is the traffic. We didn't see much traffic when going to Mekong Delta, but we faced a lot of traffic on the way back. We did book the tour on the night of Tet New Year celebration in Saigon and experienced a lot of that traffic when we tried to make our way back into the city. Again, nothing the tour guide or driver can do, but would recommend that you check if there are any major festivals/celebrations when you book to manage expectations on traffic.

Unique and unforgettable experience - Our tour, guided by Huy, was a very unique experience, that we highly recommend! We only had 11 people in our group and on the trip we saw no other touristic group, so it felt unique to us. We were introduced to families who showed us their handcraft but there was no pressure to buy anything. (But we did, to support the families) ;-) We rode by bike through beautiful nature and drove by boat - and always felt safe. Thank you Huy for that wonderful day!

Excellent Mekong Delta Tour - Huy was an excellent guide, very informative and engaging. The tour was well organised and well paced and we learnt a lot about Vietnamese customs. Lunch was home-cooked and delicious and there was an abundance of food. We also had fruit snacks and water throughout the day. It was definitely less touristy, it felt like a more private experience for our small group. There was no pressure to buy at the coconut candy and bamboo mat-making experiences and we got to try lots of different candies and drinks, all much cheaper than in Saigon. The rest stop was a lovely place with a cool garden and plenty of refreshments.

This was a unique and fascinating experience. A big thanks to our guide SaFa for helping to make our journey perfect. - The day was perfect. From the pre event communication to the end of the day drop off, our guide SaFa was outstanding. SaFa never stopped smiling as he guided us thru the Mekong Delta.

Mekong Delta tour - Overall, we enjoyed our group Mekong Delta tour. The boat rides were enjoyable, especially the banana row boat. The lunch prepared by the two local women was amazing. Please be aware of what the tour description says is provided, in case you need to remind the tour guide.
