Our wonderful Mekong Ricer tour with Tony - We had an amazing Mekong Delta tour with Tony (aka Tue) as our day guide. He was absolutely outstanding – extremely engaged, passionate, and clearly put a lot of effort into showing us everything and explaining the culture, history, and daily life along the way. His English was very good and easy to understand, and you could really feel that he truly loves his job and guiding people. This made the whole experience much more personal and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Tony aka Tue to anyone visiting the Mekong Delta.

Wonderful and memorable trip to Mekong Delta - We had the a wonderful experience touring the Mekong Delta, all thanks to our fantastic guide Jen ! She organized the day perfectly, taking us to very interesting and beautiful places that we would never have found on our own.
From start to finish, she was friendly, kind, and professional. She provided us with useful information not just about the Delta, but also great advice for the rest of our stay in Vietnam, which made our trip even better.
We highly recommend her services to anyone visiting the area; she truly made our experience memorable and special!
Thank you Jen !

Nice peaceful morning and afternoon trip - We were picked up at 730 by Two (sorry about spelling, he just said like the number 2!) and whisked away to the river in well under 2 hours...we were lucky with the traffic. A quick look at the brick factory then onto a motor boat along the river, stopping at a coconut farm for demonstrations and tried milk and chocolate and tropical fruit. Walked to mat weaving for a demo, bought a lovely folding hat made from the same material. Then tuk tuk to river and lovely peaceful row boat to a great place for lunch..which was fab! Then back to car and home. There was no cycling involved or mentioned but we werent too upset as it was HOT!! Back to hotel by 3pm. Worth the money as its quite a long way from HCM and no hanging about for others!!

Thank you, Anna! - This was a very efficient way to explore some of the highlights of the Mekong Delta. The boat trip was fantastic just wish it had lasted longer. The coconut candy was a delightful treat. Our guide, Anna, was fun, charming, and spoke excellent English. She was incredibly helpful and attentive, even assisting us with planning the next stage of our journey as we wanted to explore the delta further.

Authentic Mekong Delta Experience - A true glimpse into life in southern Vietnam, offering plenty to see and do throughout the day. Phu, our guide, was an exceptional host, sharing his extensive local knowledge at every step. The bike ride through the rice fields was the highlight for me—we didn’t encounter a single tourist all day!

Mekong Delta day out - Our guide Tu, and his driver, fetched us from our hotel at 7am and drove us to the Delta. It was a great experience with Tu being very interesting by providing us lots of information about the areas we visited. We got on a TukTuk and drove down small lanes with coconut groves, also went on a long boat on the Mekong which was very peaceful and relaxing. We saw traditional mat making and enjoyed a delicious lunch in beautiful jungle surroundings. A tour highly recommended.

Lost in translation - The experience is surely less touristy than others and fully private. The place is great and interesting but the main problem was the quality of the English of the guide. The guide seemed to be knowledgeable but we could understand maybe 20% of what he said to us, also the attitude was not the greatest and not much empathy either. Too bad.
