This was a very informative tour. I have heard the Mekong Delta in war references since I was young, but I didn’t know what it was all about. Max was great at explaining how the locals live and how the floating market was a trading hub until modern shipping methods took over. It was definitely worth the drive from HCMC to experience this important area. And Max was Awesome!

The boat tours are very fun! It’s exciting to go onto the river and see all the activity. The best part was making foods; seeing the people make noodles and coconut candies was super fun! I would definitely go again if I had the chance.

Our one day tour of the Mekong was our best experience. Our guide Thanh Max was exceptional. From our pick up in Saigon before dawn to our return he gave us the best insights into the features and history along the Mekong and the wider Delta area. We learnt so much more than expected. Every aspect from the floating market in Can Tho to the Islands around My Tho went perfectly to plan. We enjoyed the total experience. The floating market and the noodle making, the island farm forlunch, the Lambretta ride through the village, the live snakes, the snake wine, where else could you get such variety in one day. Thank you Thanh and driver for providing such a memorable tour.

An extremely expensive experience for what it was. The overview mentioned we would be back by 5pm but we were back at 2pm! The guide had basic historic knowledge and we didn’t connect. He was kind but quite uninspiring. The car was comfortable but air con was too cold and instead of lowering the air con the guide and driver seemed to make fun of the fact that we were cold. Best part of this experience was the cycling tour in the village, that is exactly the only thing that made the trip worth it and we thoroughly enjoyed that. The floating market was a cringy touristic experience. The market doesn’t function for the locals anymore, so they only run it for tourists and there weren’t many boats (at least at the time that we arrived, around 7-7:30). Lunch was more than we expected, and ok taste-wise, the fried fish was interesting but we were unpleasantly surprised that we were charged extra for the 2 beers we drank! That’s ridiculous if you think that we paid 135€ each for this. We were happy to experience the village but generally it really wasn’t worth it. We’re sorry to have to leave a bad review but we must be honest.
