Touristy but beautiful & great guide Ri

5.00We had a touristy but wonderful tour with our great guide Ri who told us so much about Vietnam and the people here. We visited many of the regular spots, but Ri always tried to take us aside a bit more. His way of explaining things to us was very funny and entertaining. We were a small harmonic group. The hotel was very good. Overall, the tour is definitely recommended.

5.00Our experience with Indochina Heritage Travel was excellent. I don't remember how I came across this company, but I looked them up on WhatsApp and messaged them with a general idea of what we wanted. They immediately messaged me back and within 5 message exchanges we had our itinerary set. It was so easy - and I'm all about NO HASSLE!! The price was very good - they sent me a link to pay, and it was done! Our guide, Emily, was fantastic. She was warm and funny, spoke English very well, and was a total pleasure to spend time with. The transportation was clean and comfortable. We booked a PRIVATE tour because we like moving at our own pace. The Mekong Delta tour was charming. We had a fantastic lunch. We spent the night in an amazing 5 star hotel in Can Tho and the following morning headed to the Cai Rang. Though I thought the market was the least impressive part of our trip, not due to the tour just simply because it's more for tourists and less of a functioning market, the boat ride to the market was relaxing and enjoying a warm bowl of soup on our boat, purchased from a floating market boat, was so enjoyable. I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our trip and our tour guide, Emily. I would highly recommend this company and if you're lucky enough to end up with Emily, you will have a wonderful experience. Best, Brenda and the Carrithers Family
Wonderful experience of food, culture, and history of the Mekong Delta and Vietnam.

5.00We did this excursion on Dec 31, 2025-Jan 01, 2026. On Day 1 we departed from Ho Chi Minh City. Matthew, our tour guide, spoke excellent English. He arrived at our hotel on time and with the driver of a very comfortable vehicle we left the city. On our way Matthew gave us a detailed explanation of what we would be doing during our 2-day excursion. He then told us a great deal about this history of Vietnam, the importance of the Mekong Delta region to the country, and interesting information about the agriculture and industry of the country. After 1.5 hours of driving we were transferred to and were transported by various boats and tuk tuk to multiple locations to a small family run orchard (where we ate exotic tropical fruit), tasted chocolate, had a wonderful lunch, saw crocodiles, fed large catfish, saw coconut candy production, and then returned to our car and were driven to Can Tho. It was a fun filled day, well coordinated, and very interesting. Day 2 we visited the Can Tho floating market. We were driven to the pier and boarded a small boat. After a 30 minute ride we arrived at a rice noodle/pancake making ‘boat’ on the river. We made rice cakes on metal pan, then rolled it off pan to bamboo reed for drying. After we hopped back in our boat to another small boat that made us a wonderful rice noodle soup. We then had Vietnamese iced coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice – all on the boats! We then departed the boat, walked through a local outdoor market in the area and jumped back on the car to start our journey back to Ho Chi Minh. On the way we stopped at an historic home and had a wonderful lunch. We were back in the city about 2:30. Matthew did a great job throughout the day providing historical and cultural perspectives of Vietnam and Mekong Delta region.
Awesome experience, made...

5.00Awesome experience, made even better by our guide Johnny. He’s the best! Would highly recommend. While the market was kind of sparse, the full day of adventure on day 1 was phenomenal. Coconut candy experience and traditional culture/music was super cool
Amazing tour and guide!

5.00Dave was an exceptional tour guide, always funny and open-minded. I learned a lot and always felt safe. We saw and experienced many new things and places, but it never felt overwhelming. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Awesome Experience of the Mekong Delta

5.00Our tour guide Danh and our driver Hieu were unbelievably nice people. Even the bus was really comfortable. We were lucky to have just the two of us on the trip, making it feel like a private tour. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized. The food was awesome and more than enough. We had the chance to interact with local people, who showcased their skills in making coconut candy, rowing through the small rivers in the Mekong Delta, and performing traditional singing and music for us while we enjoyed fresh fruit from the field. The 3-star hotel was really nice with good accommodation, and we had a nice breakfast before heading to the Cai Rang Floating Market. Thank you for the wonderful tour!
Worthwhile tour with insight and lots of information about the Mekong Delta and Vietnam
