Our Mekong Delta tour was unforgettable thanks to our amazing guide,Li, who shared stories, history, and little local secrets along the way. From peaceful boat rides under coconut palms to tasting fresh fruit at a riverside village, the food during lunch is very delicious and every moment felt alive. The guide’s warmth made the experience feel like visiting a friend’s hometown.Many many thanks

This tour is fantastic. The AC bus ride was great, perfect for napping there and back. Our guide Tri was funny and entertaining. Cooking class by yourself was amazing with BBQ lunch at Tiny Garden.Biking around village to see golden rice field was super nice. Seeing the villages, listening to Vietnamese songs and instruments was cool. Taking a tuktuk to the other area was fun. This tour is well put together and multifaceted with regards to transportation and what you experience Our honey tea was free, and you have the chance to buy things along the way.

My wife and I booked our tour of the Mekong Delta area. We had never seen such beauty in the people and the land before! Learning how the delta provides so much to families and livelihood was astonishing, helping us pay attention to what really matters with family and life. Our guide was very upbeat, showing us many key features of the area while reminding us how the delta is it’s own ecosystem. We came for the views but left Mekong with love in our hearts, for the people of the Delta. Their friendly nature allowed us to feel so relaxed, with our guide helping us get involved during musical performances as well as cooking up some very tasty dishes during lunch. We recommend booking this tour, as we hope to book again one day.

So awesomeee. I must say that the people here are extremely kind. We had been to a floating market where you can buy everything on the boat. Sounds interesting, right? I will never forget it

Feel thankful towards my Vietnamese friend who recommended us to go on this trip. We were really into the natural scenes, floating market whose boats are full of fresh fruit and yummy cuisines. It was so fun when we tried on conical hats and acted as the locals 😆 we also love how hospitable the locals were, how amazing their English accents as they chatted to us a lot 👌 We hope to get back there soon with our family!!!

A short trip from Ho Chi Minh City. We got to take a boat, look at all the things around the river. The basic houses of the locals. The boats are full fruit, vegetables. So colorful Local food is quite strange and delicious.
