Rich history and fun experience on water. - Mr. Troung or “Tru” was so good!! He is well versed with the Mekong region as his family is from here. He was the perfect guide. His knowledge of the region was a mixture of history and personal experience. We had a small group and we all got along well and enjoyed talking to each other.
The experience itself was wonderful. It could be a little touristy-but that didn’t bother us. We had a tight schedule where we only had a day to explore. It’s a great tour if you have one day-otherwise, I’d recommend going for. Two day tour where you actually stay over night in the region and go further into the Mekong to experience the floating market. But this tour was special because our tour guide was really exceptional. We started off with a tour of the local pogada and huge reclining Buddha. And then we went to the port where we met our captain and boat for the day.
The day of the tour, it was more hot than usual in Vietnam. We saw a person who needed a little extra care and Troung was on it. He was compassionate and helpful. He asked us as a group if we were all comfortable throughout the tour and made sure we were all comfortable.
We had so much fun! We were served a tasty lunch and a peaceful row down the river with smiling villagers. We also had a bike ride through the village and liked the alligators and snakes they had in the village. It was a lot of fun experiencing the tour and learning about the history of the region.

Great excursion to the Mekong Delta - Took the deluxe small group tour with Tri. The tour was well run and the time spent at each stop was appropriate. Communication before and during the tour was excellent. The van used was clean, comfortable with a good driver. Tri shared a lot of information on the area. His English is good and he speaks clearly. I enjoyed the variety of activities. The grounds of the pagoda are very beautiful. Lunch was excellent and not the same old stuff. I also enjoyed taking a bike for a ride after lunch. It is thru the local neighborhood and was very peaceful and colorful with kids and dogs and chickens. One thing I could have been better prepared for was the small tips for the singers and sampan rowers. I loved the small group format, it was totally worth the few extra dollars vs the big groups in big buses that I saw. Definitely recommend.

Great Day Trip - The experience was amazing and gave you a good insight into Vietnam life. It is a busy journey there and back but worth it. Our host could not do enough for us and he explained everything to us and made sure we had a great day. We had a fabulous Vietnam lunch which was included. Worth every penny.
