2.00I’m disappointed with the tour and the choices made for the locations. The description of the tour states the trip will have lunch at a restaurant. Instead we went to a Farm Stay and the quality and hygiene in the preparation of the food was very low. I also did not like any of the non-itinerary stops like the chicken fighting farm, the forced pay canoe trip, and the temple at the end. The guide was enthusiastic but also unprofessional. Some of his discussions on the bus were off putting and he allowed smoking at some of the locations by other guests and he allowed guests to use their phones without headphones on the bus. I wish I had not gone on this tour.
Homestyle Lunch and Boat Rides were highlights

5.00Tour guide Tom did a wonderful job explaining different portions of trip. Village high points were being paddled 2km in jungle like environment. Other portions were typical honey and candy sales. Singing of Viet songs was OK. I know staff and vendors have been waiting for tourism to return. Most products were not too expensive. Gie small tips to singers, paddle guys boat driver. Home estate vidit was peaceful with outdoor cooking. Made my own crepe with instructions from chef. Hung out on patio hammock then biked a bit of the remote area. Was no real fishing offered. This meal and home visit was nice. Overall good value and reminder to tip accordingly for great service. If goong to Mekong on tour highly recommended

5.00The beginning of the tour was a bit touristic and crowded (coconut factory and bee culture) but still very interesting. After, it was truly amazing, the homestay has a stunning garden, food was awesome and the bike tour is quite unique ! Thank you Rah for everything, your energy and positivity !
Great Experience

5.00a very personalised tour, guide (Tri) excellent english and happy to answer any questions. Comfy air-con car collected and returned me to my hotel which made it much easier to participate. Boat trip to coconut factory, tropical fruit gardens, bee hives with honey tea provided. Followed by visit to Family Tiny Garden where I was shown how to make - and then made - rice pancakes for lunch, fished for talapia, planted rice, rowed a sampan and swam in the delta. Even though it rained hard, it was a really relaxing and fun trip away from the bustle of HCM city, where I was made to feel very welcome, my wishes accommodated in an unnhurried fashion. I really enjoyed the whole day.
