5.00Price wise, worth it. Covered all of it, first time experience so overall it is definitely worth it. The time is just nice, the tour guide Mr Phuong or we called him Handsome kept track of the time and it didn't delayed or behind the schedule.
🌿 Unforgettable Mekong River Adventure – A Perfect Taste of Vietnam! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

5.00Our tour of the Mekong River was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The whole experience was like stepping into another world — peaceful, scenic, and full of authentic local charm. We started with a beautiful boat ride along the river, surrounded by lush greenery and calm waters. The stop for lunch was a highlight — delicious fried fish, fresh and crispy, paired with other tasty local dishes that gave us a true flavor of the Mekong Delta. After lunch, we saw a bunch of crocodiles up close (so cool and a bit thrilling!), then got to paddle up a narrow river in traditional wooden boats. It was so serene gliding through the water under the shade of palm trees. We also stopped to taste local honey — sweet and fragrant — and later enjoyed a lovely fruit platter while listening to live local music performed by friendly villagers. Every stop felt thoughtfully planned, and our guide Mr Phong was knowledgeable and warm, sharing great insights about the region’s culture and daily life. This tour perfectly blended nature, food, and culture — definitely one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Vietnam. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Mekong Delta! 🌸

5.00Our guide, Mr. Handsome, was very kind. It was a tour in English, but because we were Japanese, they showed us explanations in Japanese in places. I'm very happy to have had so many different experiences, like boating and food.

5.00Mr. Fong (handsome) took care of it. He was very considerate of everyone and even translated them into Japanese! I couldn't understand him because he doesn't speak English, but I could tell he was funny and kind and I enjoyed him!
