Mekong Delta Speedboat tour - Anna was our guide for this tour. She was awesome and paid special attention to my two grandkids who were on the tour with us. Loved the local families we visited. And the food at restaurant we had lunch at was the fresh and delicious. Would definitely recommend this tour. And ask for Anna.

The BEST Mekong River Tour - This Les Rives tour was the absolute best. At nearly 7.5 hours we covered a lot of ground (and water). There were only 7 of us on the tour. Boat was very comfortable. Anna and her crew served us a steady stream of exotic fruits, sandwiches & snacks. There was a cooler of cold water & drinks - much needed in the 90+ degree weather! The tour took us past miles of riverside shacks & waterside markets. We stopped at a fruit farm where we were served more food- and gifted with a bag of fresh fruit when we left! We wandered through the markets and stopped at a temple. Anna’s narrative was so informative - and the whole team was so helpful, especially with my husband who has mobility issues. On the way back we stopped for lunch at a nice riverside restaurant. The skies opened up & there was a massive rainstorm. The team provided umbrellas and helped us over slick bridges and paths. Highly recommend!!

Delightful day - Anna took us into a charming, interesting and lovely tour. Fresh fruits all day long cruising on the river, she also made sure I could have a delicious meal while being vegan and gluten allergic. It felt safe, benevolent and enriching. Recommend 100%

Great day with Anna - We had a great day with Anna on the Mekong River. Interesting stops on the way, small group of people, off the touristic path, we got to taste exotic fruits, rice wine, and a very good lunch. Everything was perfect, from the pickup in the morning and till the return to the hotel . We enjoyed this trip and highly recommend it! Thank you Anna!!!

Enjoyed this day trip - We had a really good experience on this tour. Les Rives were punctual picking us up at our hotel. Anna was an excellent, informative guide. We learned a lot from her re local life/customs, religion and so much more. She has an excellent command of the English language. We felt very safe in the boat & the team took great care of us providing lots of cool drinks and some croissants & fresh fruit for refreshment. Coffee was also on offer but we are not coffee drinkers. Each stop was well organised. There were no other tourist groups along our journey & we felt that we saw a more authentic side of the Mekong Delta. No one anywhere selling tourist souvenirs or trying to get us to buy something. Just local people going about their daily life. A really nice day trip to get a glimpse into life outside of Ho Chi Minh.

Mekong Delta Tour - The Mekong Delta tour was a great experience. The team was friendly and made us feel welcome. Our guide, Anna, was kind and knowledgeable, sharing interesting details about the local people and their way of life. We enjoyed visiting the markets, plantations, and an orphanage-pagoda, which gave us a good sense of the region’s culture. Anna’s guidance made the day smooth and engaging. I’d recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the Mekong Delta.

Great time on the boat - The private boat and overall experience was totally worth it! Going directly to the delta while eating fresh fruits and listening to the guide talking about the city beats any long car commute before actually exploring the Mekong. Anna was very good explaining what we were seeing and she also took some very nice pictures. Best tour I did so far, highly recommended.

Tour was Great! Anna was awesome!! - This tour was amazing and Anna was an incredible guide! It was very off the beaten path, and we didn't see any other tourists. The lovely crew kept us fed with fresh fruit and hydrated with cold water and cokes. I highly recommend this tour!!!!
