A Must-Do Morning Tour in the Mekong With Jimmy Ngo

5.00We did a morning Mekong Delta tour with our guide Jimmy Ngo, and it exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. The logistics were smooth, the timing was well planned, and the transitions between activities felt effortless. You could tell this wasn’t a rushed tourist checklist — it was a thoughtfully designed experience. We started at the vibrant flower market, cruised along the Mekong River, visited a traditional noodle factory, explored a beautiful fruit garden where we tasted fresh local fruits, made authentic Vietnamese pancakes ourselves, and finished with a peaceful bike ride through the countryside to see a stunning 300-year-old ancient tree. What truly set this tour apart was Jimmy. His explanations were clear, detailed, and genuinely insightful. He didn’t just give surface-level information — he explained the cultural context, the history, the daily life behind what we were seeing. He was attentive, patient, and incredibly professional, while still being warm and funny. He made us feel comfortable the entire time and handled everything seamlessly. If you’re considering a morning tour in the Mekong Delta, absolutely go with Jimmy Ngo. He made the experience extra special.
Great tour and an even better guide.

5.00We had an amazing experience with the Cai Rang floating market and countryside cycling tour. Our guide Ngan was excellent — very knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about life in the Mekong Delta. She shared so much about local traditions, daily routines, and how people actually live here, which made the whole experience feel authentic, not touristic. The cycling part through the villages was the highlight for us. Riding through small paths, seeing everyday life up close, and interacting with locals is truly the best way to experience the Mekong Delta. Highly recommended if you want more than just sightseeing and really want to understand the local way of life.
A highly recommended tour, a wonderful day

5.00We booked a private Tour so we didn't have to get up too early. The tour was excellently organized. A short taxi ride to the harbor, a very experienced, skilled boat captain who steered us through the waves without a drop of water in the boat, and the intelligent, friendly Logan, who could tell us something about everything. The trip through the small tributaries, the visit to the fruit and vegetable garden, and the bike tour were especially enjoyable. Also interesting: the short visit on a Market boat. It greatly enriched our vacation and is highly recommended for getting a real impression of this city and life in general in the Mekong Delta.
Great day on the Mekong River

5.00I joined the Mekong Delta Fruit Garden & Cycling Tour, and it was an excellent experience. Our guide, Cris, was very fluent in English and handled an unexpected heavy shower with great flexibility by arranging a short stop at a nearby local house. He gave clear explanations, was extremely kind, and made the whole tour very enjoyable. Meeting such a wonderful guide was truly a stroke of luck. Since my colleagues also often travel to this area for business, I will definitely recommend Cris and hope to join his tour again in the future.
Fun and interesting trip with a fantastic guide

5.00I was lucky to be the only person on this trip. The guide, Jane, looked after me so well and gave me so much local information. She was so lovely. It was a nice combination of a trip on an authentic boat and cycling around the countryside plus a few visits to different places along the way. It was so interesting. Thank you also to the kind lady on the boat who made me some beautiful souvenirs out of leaves.
Amazing experience

5.00The tour was a lot of fun. We got to have breakfast on a boat at Cai Rang floating market and then we also enjoyed some nice fruit. Afterwards we moved on to a local rice noodles factory where we were shown how the noodles are made, and we also got to try how to cut the rice paper into noodles. Then we cycled around the countryside until we reach the Holy Ficus tree where our tour guide explained to us its legend. Finally we got to enjoy a walk around a tropical fruit garden and ate some fruit, before heading back to Can Tho by boat. Our tour guide Thinh was very well prepared both with necessities for the trip and with knowledge. We had a lot of fun and we absolutely recommend this tour!
Amazing!

5.00Extraordinary! An immersion in local life. An exciting and dedicated guide! And icing on the cake, for us alone! Even the boat was a traditional boat, not a tourist boat. We played accrates with a family, drank coconut milk, ate noodles, rode a bike, and all with great pleasure and an incredible welcome! Jimmy is a wealth of information and he's looking for you anything you want. Recommend without hesitation!
