Good Mekong tour

5.00This tour was nice, the operator accommodating, the guide very pleasant. We enjoyed our day out, although we were quite far from Mekong so it took 3h to get there and with traffic nearly 4h to be back at hotel. The actual Mekong tour and coconut island + local activities took just over an hour and lunch was pleasant too. To finish we visited a lovely temple too. Overall was great but would have liked to have done more of rowing on Mekong and maybe see more if there were to see. Recommend them and thank you 🙏🏼
Outstanding and Worthwhile Mekong Delta Private Tour

5.00Henry and his cohorts provided exceptional service during the Mekong Delta Tour that my wife and I took on August 29, 2025. Henry's passion for Vietnam, his hometown and his family were evident during the course of the excursion which really enhanced the experience. The Mekong Delta tour was unforgettable. My wife and I are grateful that Henry afforded us a very meaningful opportunity to see and experience this special area of the country. We highly recommend Henry and the Mekong Delta tour.
A very authentic experience

5.00Really enjoyed seeing local life on the delta and tasting their produce. Henry was an excellent guide, and living on the delta himself meant he was able to adjust our trip to suit the weather on the day.
Great guide in HCM. Reasonable prices and very dedicated.

5.00I can't say enough how good Lee Minh is as a person. He took us on a walking tour of HCM and explained everything very clearly. The War Remembrance Museum was amazing. Then we went to the Mekong river delta and had a very nice day sightseeing around the islands and villages. He made it all happen on short notice. All with interesting stories and good vibes. Totally recommended!
Happy to explore the simple rural life of Vietnam. Country folks are full of vigor and generosity.re

5.00Experiencing Vietnam countryside was wonderful. Cruising the Mekong with the boat all to myself lounging in a hammock. What else can anyone wish? Fresh fruits, folks in melodious singinging, refreshing honey tea, a languid paddle boat ride through a canopy of nipa palms, i saw a blue kingfisher through the foliage!
What an amazing day visit to the Mekong Delta!

5.00We had an amazing time! Lee gave us tons of great information and spoke good English. He showed us around places we would’ve never gone on a regular tour. We really appreciated kind demeanor.

5.00Our guide, Penny, was excellent and made the tour. Her enthusiasm and pride of her culture and country were appreciated by our family group of four. She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Her energy and sense of humour added to the experience. All the stops along our tour were interesting and everyone was welcoming and friendly. Kudos also to our driver.

Best tour *** Best tour guide *** Perfect holiday

5.00Booked a 4 day tour to the Mekong Delta. Individually planned - according to my needs - tour guide Lee was the perfect guide - he comes from the Mekong Delta - knows the region like his vest pocket. But he always knows the right people in the suburbs, so that you travel a little better than the other tourists in all things (boats, restaurants, etc.). His restaurants are insider tips. If you're willing to experiment with food, he's the one. He explains the background of history, culture and local ways of life. It never gets boring with him because he is sharp and funny. Thank you Lee! I have been to many countries around the world; with you as a guide, the journey was special, an experience I will never forget in this life.
100% spot-on!

5.00We decided to chose a private tour for our group of 5 people. The trip was tailored to our needs and preferences. We was picked up from our hotel in Saigon by Khang and his assistant and I have to say it was truly memorable and excellent trip. We visited Cu Chi Tunnels where Khang told us a lot about the war, shared some stories and interesting insights. Then we went to My Tho, and took a bout tour. We visited some islands and tried local food - the local fish (elephant’s ear fish) was absolutely splendid. And we also visited place where coconut candies are made. If I had to organise this trip again I would definitely choose the same service and Khang’s support. He’s an amazing tour guide with enormous passion and dedication as well as a perfect sense of humour.
