The tour is great - LiLi super vibrant and adorable!
If you don't have a tour, you won't know a lot of details, and the Mekong River has a lot of boats, LiLi will be very careful to help us.

Memorable and Relaxing trip at Mekong Delta - Ms Thanh Nguyen (our guide) was very friendly, informative and helpful. Her explanation allowed us to better understand life staying at the Mekong river. Mr Chi Lang (our driver) is definitely one of the most patience and safest driver we have encountered in Vietnam thus far. Thank you for making this trip a memorable and relaxing one.

Good Tour - Good tour, friendly guide Sunny :)
She was very energetic the whole time and understanding.
Only suggestion is to give more time for each place. Food was good and places we visited were adventurous.

Tour between nature and the locals - I recommend this Cai Be day tour to everyone if you want to see how the people of southern Vietnam live and if you want to live an experience in nature in a fantastic landscape.
We did the private tour with the Trew guide. Very kind and explained every detail of what we saw.

Amazing Experience with Tuco - We had an amazing experience with Tuco as our tour guide! He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional from start to finish. His knowledge and storytelling made the tour both informative and entertaining, and his great sense of humor kept the whole group engaged.
Tuco went above and beyond to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, which made us feel well taken care of throughout the day. He also took wonderful photos of the group and shared them with us, and even gave us a special postcard as a keepsake to remember him and our trip — such a thoughtful gesture!
His communication skills are excellent, and he speaks English fluently, making everything clear and easy to follow. Tuco is not only a guide but also someone who makes you feel like you’re traveling with a good friend.
I highly recommend Tuco to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and unforgettable tour experience.
