5.00What a wonderful experience this was. I was lucky enough to encounter Sunny on another tour and he informed me about the Mekong Legacy tour. The group was small, we set out before the tourists did and we really saw the local life on the Mekong river. From seeing the floating market in the morning, to sailing thru the small canals, to walking thru a local village, making our own local specialities and finishing the tour by visiting a real floating wholesale boat. Sunny was a great tourguide, explained a lot and really let us have a taste if the local way of living. Thank you for the great tour Sunny!
Fantastic tour and exploration in Mekong Delta

5.00We were lucky to have Sunny as our guide during our tour of the Mekong Delta, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Sunny was kind and full of positive energy. His knowledge of the history, culture, and local life in the Delta truly enriched every moment of the trip. He took us to authentic places, far from mass tourism, where we were able to meet local communities, taste delicious homemade food, and see up close what life is like in this fascinating region of Vietnam. Sunny was always willing to answer questions and made sure everyone felt comfortable and was having a great time. Beyond his professionalism, what touched us the most was his warmth and kindness. He made us feel like we were traveling with a friend, not just a guide. Without a doubt, Sunny made our trip much more special. Thank you, Sunny, for showing us the true heart of the Mekong!

5.00A unique experience for those who want to get acquainted with life on the Mekong, including a visit to the floating market, a light morning, a sailing in the small and peaceful partitions of the river, a stop at a local family to make local pancakes, and a visit to a family who lives on a boat and is known in the market, an exceptional experience that embodies the visit to the area.
Very private insights and tour into the local life.

5.00The tour was great and definitely one of the best I had so far. You even visit one of the floating market boats (with a family living on there) at the end so you will get to see a very private part of the life on the water. The tour guide Sunny was a great guy who was lots of fun without being to much. His English is very good, so you will understand everything perfectly. He also grew up on one of the boats, so he comes from that life that you will explore.
Tours with a great deal for the price

5.00I used it when I was traveling alone. The guide's English was simple and easy to understand, with occasional jokes, and we had a great time on the tour. You will have a very good experience of the floating market, the orchards and the life of the people on board. It says breakfast, fruit and tea among the items included, but it was actually banh mi (or noodle dishes) and coffee, banh kot (a dish like thin takoyaki) that we made ourselves in an orchard home, tropical fruit and green tea.
Lovely tour on the Mekong, experiencing local life with nice guide

5.00This was a lovely tour! I felt we had a unique and really interesting experience of the local life on the river Mekong. Our guide Sunny was very friendly and funny and welcoming to us as well, which made the trip really great.I think all of the stops were good, but I really enjoyed stopping for breakfast rice noodle and later learning to make
