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
