5.00We had such a fantastic day on this tour. We weren't keen on a big tour group and there were 10 of us altogether, which was a great size. Big handsome Dave was the best tour guide we have ever had the pleasure of meeting and made this tour a very memorable experience. He was extremely knowledgeable, providing us with so much information, and had us laughing the whole way. Highly recommend!
A wonderful experience and I highly recommend you request Vinh as your guide 😉

5.00The excursion to the Mekong Delta was one of the best I've made so far. The guide Vinh, was highly knowledgeable and I imagine a very experienced guide. At all times he had a genuine concern for keeping his party safe, as well as ensuring the best experience. The highlight of the tour for myself was the rowing boat, as well as lunch and local entertainment. At all times Vinh was on hand to answer questions. Just prior to the end of the tour, Vinh gave some general advice and suggestions for spending one's time in HCMC. Overall a wonderful experience 5⭐️
Worth the long drive

5.00It’s not a short journey from Ho Chi Minh City, but once you arrive, the change in atmosphere is noticeable. The Delta is calm, green, and beautiful. By the end of the day, I felt relaxed and happy I went. Beo kept the energy positive throughout the trip and made sure everyone had a good experience.

5.00Great guide, good meal, lot's of interesting cultural information, beautiful scenery, opportunity to buy unique local products(ex. coconut fiber textiles, coconut candy). Interesting local music experience. Two cool boat excersions. Short bike ride. Buddist temple. There is a lot packed into a day, I was impressed by all the logistics. It's well worth your time and a great way to see rural Vietnam life up close.
