  • Depressing Unfortunately

    The guides and the tour company were great! However, there was so much rubbish in Mekong Delta and in the water that it was depressing to see the lack of respect they have for their community. I didn’t see this as a problem in other areas of Vietnam. I wish we would have skipped Mekong altogether. Until they can figure out a way to have city trash removal from their properties and water I can’t recommend it. It’s a shame because it has so much potential.

  • Perfect escape to the Mekong

    We loved the tour with Tri, he was great at English and telling us lots of good information about the Mekong Delta. The Bamboo Eco Lodge was incredible! We ate so much good food and met so many nice people of the region.

  • Nice trip but basic tour ! Great guide !

    We had a lovely time discovering Mekong Delta. Tom our guide was very passionate about Vietnam and his people. He was also very informative ! The only thing we enjoyed less was the different stops we made (maybe 3) in places to « discover » local crafts. It was very touristy and didn’t seem authentic, we felt like we made all these stops to buy things (it’s understandable of course and was not mandatory) but I think it would be better to discover more of the nature. It was not what we were looking for. But it was still a nice small trip !

  • Great family trip and away from the big city

    We had a great trip! Tri was our guide and he and driver did an excellent job in taking care of us and providing plenty to eat, drink and see. We are a family of four with teenagers and it was perfectly catered for everyone. We enjoyed the temple visit, noodle making, cooking class and many boat tours and the floating market to name a few things. We stayed in the Bamboo Eco Lodge which had a great pool surrounded by lush greenery. Would highly recommend this tour.

  • Lots to do in a short visit

    This was an excellent way to get a taste of the Mekong Delta. Tre was excellent at explaining history and cultural uniqueness to the area. He was super friendly and knowledgeable. This tour included lots of activities including pop rice and rice noodle making, a tour of a temple, and plenty of water. The hotel was excellent and better than I anticipated. My favorite activities were riding on the water multiple times in different boats and having breakfast at the floating market. While the food is most certainly more tourist oriented, you could get a feel for the local exchanges. I also really enjoyed the cooking class. Overall very happy with this tour.
