Short memorable day - Our ship stopped for a short day in the port and we took a day tour to the Mekong delta, pick up was prompt, our driver was fantastic, he did a great job to make sure all of us got to the spot and got back on time. We met our local guide in Mekong and she was very knowledgeable, understood our needs perfectly and tailored a short trip for us to fit our travel plan. We had a great time in "Her village" by canoeing through the river, rowing a boat via the canal and having a great lunch. We especially thanked Mr. Windy who arranged all our Vietnam shore excursions in all 4 ports in Vietnam. His profession and his team was amazing.

Definitely worth the drive to get there from there port! - This was a wonderful trip. The three hour drive from the cruise ship actually provided a great view of Ho Chi Minh City and the surrounding communities. Our guide, Than Ngan Nguyen, was really terrific. She planned a very busy day for us with an authentic meal, a trip down the river on a paddle boat, a tour of the local honey, coconut candy and chocolate factories, as well as an authentic music performance. Her English was excellent and she is very knowledgeable. We know this is a three hour drive each way but we found it well worth the trip!

The perfect short day - An incredible day of excursion starting from our port. Everything worked perfectly, our driver picked us up at the port and we had a great time in the countryside. We loved the walk to the town and trying the local tea, as well as the boat ride on the canal. I wish I had more time to enjoy the whole site...

Beautiful day - Our driver was on time waiting for us at the port and the drive was smooth. The countryside tour was the best activity in Vietnam we had during our trip. Enjoyed the food, the boat-drive, coconut farm and also the music performance by locals. Very well organized tour and our guide was Tom, he was fun and really did a good job. Highly recommend going to the Mekong with Tom and his crew.

Ugh… - We did this tour as a cruise ship excursion. We were picked up at the cruise port by a driver who spoke nearly no English. He did call the guide who told us we would meet us at the first tour stop. However, it was a very long and uncomfortable ride as the driver was unable to answer basic questions such as “How much longer?” Our tour guide was a delight and wealth of information. However, the tour at times felt like a time share sales pitch. At most stops along the way, people either wanted to sell us something or expected tips. It was uncomfortable as no one had told us how many people would expect tips along the way and we did not have an abundance of local currency. At the end of the day, this felt more like a tourist trap than an authentic visit to a local village.

We loved it!! Good treatment and kindness - Very good tour We loved it!! The only thing we didn't know was that it was a chaotic city and we were in the cruise port and it took us 2:45 hours there and 3:30 back due to an accident, the guide was very kind, he helped us do everything quickly and the food that they included us was delicious, we had a good time in the gondola to get to eat

A long journey for a short, interesting experience. - We were collected promptly from the harbour but delayed by the cruise liner informing us the night before that we would disembark later than anticipated, this lost us a valuable 45 minutes.. On top of this it was the New Year and the roads congested. This made it a very long journey for a short experience and so I would not recommend this tour from a cruise ship. Our driver did a marvellous job getting us back before departure but it was a very tense return. Many thanks to him for his skill and knowledge of the roads. Our guide who joined us at the destination was lovely, the area unique and the meal exceptionally delicious and beautifully presented. The boat rides were pleasant and interesting. However, it was all a bit rushed and the obligatory tour around various merchandise a waste of time given our restricted timetable. This would be a good area to explore over a full day and our driver and guide did their best in the circumstances. I cannot criticise the tour operator but suggest this tour should not be offered from a cruise ship when a return to port is critical. Please note that although you are informed that driver and guide should be tipped we were asked to tip the singers, musician and the boatmen. Small change in local currency is needed.
