4.00Very touristy but also fun, good value for money. A long day out, a lot of traveling and longer than they said (due to traffic). Good guide. Moved quickly from one activity/opportunity to buy or tip to the next. Fine if you expect that, we all enjoyed the day.
Great

5.00My mother and I began our Vietnam journey with a tour of the Mekong Delta, which became our very first activity in the country. We were able to see many fascinating sights and learn a great deal about Vietnamese culture. The food served during the tour was delicious, and the memories we made were truly wonderful—especially thanks to our tour guide, Tom “Cruise,” who made the entire experience possible. He was extremely knowledgeable, very sociable, and always checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable. He offered us many options to enhance our day and didn’t just guide the tour but genuinely shared the experience with us. He even went out of his way to offer to take photos of us. It was clear how dedicated he was to making our holiday in Vietnam truly memorable.
A friendly experience with a great guide

4.00The discovery of the Mekong Delta and the temple are quite interesting and allow to learn more about Vietnamese culture. Our Big Handsome David guide was very fun, friendly and his explanations and tips were very rewarding throughout the visit. He also gave us recommendations for tasting Vietnamese cuisine on Saigon. We were also able to taste some specialties around honey, typical candy and taste cobra alcohol. The restaurant was good. Overall, it was a good experience but it passed pretty quickly to my liking: the traditional boat ride on the canal was quite short, after we walked a few steps to reach the Tuktuk however we did not do the hammock or bike ride / walk, but maybe the timing was too short as it takes about 2/3h drive to get from Saigon to the Delta. However, it remains a pleasant experience and allows you to discover more of Vietnamese culture. Thanks again to David and the driver for this visit.
