10/10 recommend - First and foremost, I’d like to give Safa a shoutout! He was the perfect tour guide for this specific trip. He is extremely passionate at what he does, super attentive , and very personable! You can definitely tell he enjoys what he does and considering he was from that area, he really showed us a lot of how the locals live. I don’t think our trip would have been as special if it wasn’t for him! Now the whole tour itinerary was smooth sailing (check out photos) considering we did a lot! Between riding boats, drinking snake wine, biking through coconut kingdom, and so on. Our stay was also very pleasant! I really liked the aesthetics, it was very comfortable and clean! Very different from other stays we’ve been in. It was a great touch to the trip blending in with the rest of the experience. The next morning we went to Cai Rang Floating Market, well worth the overnight stay to see it. Got to really take it all in and we loved it. We also went to a pagoda, had some sugar cane drink, more biking , and made our own Vietnamese spring rolls and banh xeo!! 10/10 recommend and I hope you guys get to work with Safa himself!

Must have - We spent 2 days on the Mekong delta on a private tour with Joy Journeys. Everrything was perfect: the boat tours, the visits to the local farms, the floating market and the accommodation. Tom was our guide for the tour: he gave us hundreds of information about Mekong environment and local traditions. He speaks an excellent English. Highly recommended. As said in the title a must have if visiting Vietnam.

Real Mekong immersion activity! - Our family private trip for 2 days one night was enjoyable. All transfers on time, well organised. They choose a resort in the Delta Mekong, Bamboo Ecolodge beautiful and very comfortable. The trip included visiting and old brick factory, a quamcat tea workshop, coconut caramel and chocolate “factory “. All business were authentic and family owned and we got them by boat and bicycle all together very entertaining and nice. Highly recommend Jenny, very funny. We learned a lot about Mekong’s culture and people. Following day and thank to Clara we got a deeper understanding (just the for of us) visiting the floating market in our own boat that allows us to visit a boat wholesalers family, got a real ca phe from boat to boat and an incredible nice noodles for breakfast, later we did noodles in a family’s own worship (really nice people) and we had the opportunity to cook our own Vietnamese creps. Clara was really looking after us and we enjoyed a lot her company. Well done!!

Highly recommended tour operator for trips from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta - Beautiful experience with Joy Journeys in the Mekong Delta. We took a two-day private tour from Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta to Can Tho. I highly recommend this tour operator. In the Reservation phase I was perfectly assisted by Anh who recommended the tour adapting it to my requests and needs. The organization was perfect, they picked us up from the hotel in Saigon by minivan and took us on the Mekong with various stops to visit a local pagoda, then on the boat to an island where we attended a traditional music show and tasted the fruit. We then went around the Mekong on board the typical bamboo boats, with stops in the villages where we saw the processing of rice corn, local liquor and bamboo cane and had lunch in a restaurant on the canal. On the boat we were offered coconut water. In the evening we arrived at our hotel in Can Tho and had dinner at a typical local restaurant to eat Vietnamese duck. Morning after boat trip to Cai Rang Floating Point of Sale with breakfast stop on the boat, visit the rice noodle factory and taste pineapple on the roof of a boat. After the tour and checked out at the hotel they took us to the airport in Can Tho. A special mention to our Guide Tri, a very special guy who loves sil his work and his country and manages to transmit his passion to us tourists. I found Joy Journeys searching the internet and reading the reviews and I must say we really enjoyed it, for tours from Saigon it is really great. Thank you!

Experience absolutely to do! - Unforgettable experience. Despite being for 10 people it was like taking a private tour. Everything organized to perfection and detail. The first day there were 4 of us with the excellent Christian Guide and only the two of us stopped for the night at the beautiful Bamboo Eco Village. Here we were welcomed by the Guide Clara, who made this experience even more authentic and unforgettable. He accompanied us to discover authentic local life and traditions, taking us to less touristy places and introducing us to local families. With her impeccable English and passion for her work, Clara gave us enthusiasm and love for this land. Thank you!

A joyful experience with Joy Journeys - We had a brilliant two day tour to the Mekong from HCMC with Joy Journeys. We were with 7 other people on Day 1 with our lovely guide Helen. Fruit and coconuts as we sailed up the Mekong, a great insight into some of the local industry, a cycle through the banana trees and an incredible lunch. Helen even taught us a local game and we tried some snake wine! As we were the only two doing the overnight trip, we were driven to the amazing Bamboo Eco Village. This place is gorgeous and I fell in love with it immediately. What an incredible riverside haven. Our guide for the next day, Clara, even met us when we arrived to say hi. Clara met us again at 6am the next morning for a boat ride to the floating market that departed right from our hotel. We had delicious 'shaky noodles' for breakfast and a highlight was getting to meet some children who lived on on of the boats. I did a cooking class with Clara and then she took us for a cycle to the local temple. Clara taught us so much about the area and Vietnamese culture. She was so generous with her time and it was a real pleasure to spend the day with her. We loved Bamboo Eco Village so much we decided to stay an extra night. The Joy Journeys team were just brilliant in helping arrange alternative travel back to HCMC and even met us when we got there to drive us straight to our hotel. This is a great travel company with an excellent team. They made our final days in Vietnam extra special. Thank you Joy Journeys!

Super recommended experience - Experience absolutely to live! Two unforgettable days. From Ben Tre in the morning to Can Tho and Cai Rang Floating Point of Sale. Everything organized to perfection and in search of detail. We stayed at Bamboo Eco Village and what about... fantastic. Entirely in bamboo and great attention to detail. We dedicate five stars + to Clara, our Guide to Can Tho and the Floating Point of Sale. Prepared, attentive and above all great connoisseur of places. It helped us to know the true reality of places and people away from the usual tourist attractions. We even took a bike ride to the Temple!!! Really everything perfect. Try to believe it!!!

2 day tour in the Mekong not to be missed - This 2-day tour in the Mekong was very well organized. The explanations of our Safa Guide (from the region) were accurate and complete. I particularly enjoyed: -the ride on the Mekong. It was quiet with very few tourists - the resort Bamboo Eco village was really nice with pool and spa. We had some free time to enjoy it - the bike ride to enjoy the landscape and neighborhood - possibility to kayak on the Mekong -the cooking class was also very nice To summarize: very good organization of Joy Journeys, excellent Guide (thanks Safa ). Recommend
