3.00Good tour of the Mekong delta with a 10-15 people group. The experience was VERY centered around local mini markets trying to see various products produced on the islands. Pick and drop off was great, and the guide was incredibly kind and knowledgeable!

5.00I really enjoyed this tour and felt it was totally worth the time. The schedule was full but well paced, and our guide Beo was friendly and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. I got to see a lot in one day and even picked up some nice souvenirs like fresh honey and candy. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City.
Well worth a visit

5.00Thank you, Beo, for such a wonderful Mekong Delta trip. You were professional, and the way you spoke and explained things was very engaging. The Mekong Delta is truly an ideal place to travel in Vietnam, whether you are going alone or with a group. I would definitely recommend visiting at least once — it’s affordable, and the service is very good.

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Simon. From the very beginning, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Simon shared fascinating stories and insights that brought each stop to life, and he was always happy to answer questions. The tour was well-organized, engaging, and never felt rushed. Simon struck the perfect balance between providing rich information and keeping things fun and relaxed. You could really tell he cared about making sure everyone had a great time. If you’re considering this tour, I can’t recommend it enough—especially if Simon is your guide. He made the experience memorable and enjoyable from start to finish.
