A great way to experience life away from the city and learn more about Vietnamese life in the Mekong Delta - Our private guide, Nok and driver Guan, picked us up from our hotel on time. It was an early start (7am) but it meant we reached many places before more travellers and groups, which was valuable. The stops were very enjoyable, Nok was extremely experienced, very pleasant and knowledgeable and we learnt a lot from him about life in Vietnam. Our first stop at the Buddhist Pagoda was enlightening and this was followed by a series of stops and using a range of transport, always at the right place at the right time. The full morning ended with a local lunch of several Vietnam dishes and we could relax and buy some drinks before starting our journey home. The air conditioned vehicle was very comfortable, the team worked well together and we felt we had had a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding day. A professional and well run tour. Thank you.

Nice experience with ginkgo - Such a lovely experience in My Tho!
We booked the day trip from Saigon and everything went smoothly from the start. The ride was comfortable and didn’t feel long at all. On the way, we stopped to taste fresh seasonal fruits straight from the garden — simple but so delicious.
I really enjoyed the boat ride to the floating fish farms, it was eye-opening to see how people actually live on the river with fish raised right under their homes. Visiting the coconut candy workshop was fun too, I got to see the process step by step and of course try some (so sweet and tasty). The xeloi ride through the village and the small sampan trip along shady canals were very peaceful — it felt like stepping into the real countryside life of Vietnam.
Lunch was good, plentiful, and the whole tour was well-organized without any rush. Our guide was super nice, explained things clearly, and kept the group in a good mood. I’d definitely recommend this trip if you want to see a different side of Vietnam outside the busy city.

Healing soul and refresh mind tour - Really enjoyed this My Tho Mekong trip. Peaceful vibe and super fresh fruits straight from the garden. We visited a coconut candy workshop, watched the whole process, and even tried making it (sticky but fun), and seeing fish farms under floating houses was so unique. The small boat ride through quiet canals was the best — I felt close to nature. One more nice thing is the beautiful Vinh Trang Pagoda, I really love it. Well-organized tour and friendly guide :)

Good - The My Tho Mekong tour was a great day out of the city. We enjoyed the slow boat ride on the river and the smaller sampan trip through shaded canals — very relaxing and scenic. The tropical fruits were fresh and tasty, and it was interesting to see how coconut candy is made, so wonderful and delicious. Lunch was filling, and visiting Vinh Trang Pagoda at the end was a nice cultural touch. Everything ran smoothly and the guide was friendly and helpful.

Good 10/10 - I didn’t expect to enjoy such a peaceful and chill tour this much, but it truly surprised me in the best way.
I loved Vinh Trang Pagoda,it’s absolutely beautiful, though it’s just a small part of the trip. What really stayed with me was how real everything felt. I got to experience life like a local in the Vietnamese countryside: tasting fruits straight from the trees, watching how people make coconut candy, I even tried making it myself and ended up smelling like sugar all day 😄, and seeing how they raise fish right under their floating houses. The boat ride was one of the highlights, I wish it could’ve lasted longer. There’s nothing like gliding quietly along the water and feeling so close to nature.
Highly recommend this tour if you want a gentle, authentic glimpse into life in the Mekong Delta.

Great good excellent - nice experiences! really love the trip
We joined the day trip from Saigon to My Tho. The drive wasn’t too long and the van was really comfortable, so we were all excited. We passed by fruit gardens and got to try some tropical seasonal fruits — very fresh and tasty.
One of the highlights was the boat trip to the floating fish farms. Local people live right on the water, with fish swimming underneath their floors. It was something new for me and I really enjoyed learning about this way of life.
We also visited a handmade coconut candy workshop, rode a xeloi, and did a small boat ride through quiet canals — very peaceful and felt like real countryside life.
Overall, the tour was well organized, smooth from start to finish, and the guide was very friendly and helpful. A great way to explore the Mekong Delta in just one day. Cam on

Beautiful trip - What a great little day trip to My Tho!
I loved the Rach-Mieu Bridge – the view was fantastic. We tried so much fresh fruit at the local market. The coconut candy workshop was also interesting, we bought some packs for later. Overall a super relaxed day outside Saigon. If you want to get to know life on the Mekong without going too far, this tour is perfect!

Great trip - Booked this Mekong Delta day trip to get out of Saigon for a bit. It was a good choice. The drive down took a couple of hours but the van was comfy so I just napped. We started with a boat ride from a quiet pier, passed by fruit gardens, and tried some fresh fruits – simple but nice. The coconut candy workshop was cool too, I bought a few packs to bring home. The xe loi ride through the village felt very local, bumpy but fun. Lunch was basic Vietnamese food but tasty.
The rowing boat along the small canal was relaxing. Before heading back to the city, we stopped at a pagoda – not really my thing but it was interesting to learn a bit about it.
Overall, it was a chill day. Nothing super fancy, just a nice way to see local life outside Saigon. Worth it if you want an easy day trip.

Great trip - Lovely day exploring My Tho and the Mekong Delta. We enjoyed the views from Rạch Miễu Bridge and loved tasting fresh fruits and coconut candy. Riding the xe lôi through the countryside was fun and the Vinh Trang pagoda was beautiful. Nice guide and well-organized tour. Worth it!

My Tho trip - We had such a lovely day trip to My Tho. Everything felt relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. The boat trip along the river was a real highlight — cruising through the canals while wearing a traditional conical hat was both fun and very “Vietnam” 😊
Stopping to enjoy fresh coconut water was incredibly refreshing, especially in the warm weather. Lunch was another big plus: a traditional Vietnamese meal with generous portions and great flavors, simple but really delicious.
We also visited Vinh Trang Pagoda, which was peaceful and beautiful, we learnt a bit more about local culture and Buddhism.
A perfect escape from Ho Chi Minh City for anyone wanting a calm and authentic Mekong experience.
