5.00I did this tour with Clara. The tour was fantastic as she gives a lot of facts about the vietnamiese way of life in the Mekong delta. But she is also very knowledgeable and knows a lot about vietnamiese life, which she explained eith a very witty sense of humour. She is bubbly and made the tour very rich and entertaining at all times. Highly reccommended.

5.00The Tour was amazing. Sophia is a great tour guide. Her Story’s mad our day. She also gave us great information about the country and the locals. This tour is really great because you can not only see the floating market but get an impression of how people live on and near the river. Also the cooking class with Sophia was a lot of fun. We highly recommend the tour and Sophia as a guide.

5.00Cory was a great wealth of information. I learnt so much about Vietnam, its culture, traditons during this tour with Cory. The tour was great! We had 4 stops including cooking with a local river family and a visit on a floating market family boat. We were able to see and experience their way of life and enjoy their meals they prepared for us. There was an abundance of food all included in the cost. You wont leave feeling hungry! I recommend this tour and I hope you get Cory as your guide as you will learn so much about not only the river but about all of Southern Vietnam 🇻🇳🇦🇺

5.00Unforgettable experience. I booked this tour so I could enjoy the most authentic experience possible, and it was more than successful. Our guide for the day, Thao, was superb. A very good English, lots of sharing anecdotes, explanations, always with a big smile. The excursion was perfect, with no timeouts, perfectly orchestrated. Excellent breakfast (soup) and iced coffee in the floating market, then stroll through the small canals of the delta, then arrive at a Homestay to cook some Vietnamese pancakes, law of the tourist crowd. And finally, last stop to share fruit on the boat of a family who lives on the Mekong. We paid $35 per person for a private tour. I highly recommend this tour, very well organized and local +++.

5.00This was the Bestseller, cleary attributed to Sunny’s expertise and knowledge of the Mekong Delta, bringing out the best as we gained much insight on Vietnamese culture and by way of a cooking experience. Thanks so much to Sunny for making our excursion so memorable!
