Cái Bè is a small village that still retains its natural beauty, busy river system, tasty food, and hospitable people. You can’t talk about Cái Bè without talking about its floating market and abundance of delicious tropical fruits. Highlight of the day is to cruise among the boats coming from all areas of the Delta, and to cycle along the trails, returning the friendly smiles and waves of local children.

5.00It was a very good tour. Especially with a tour guide who is attentive, and with delicious food that you can't eat, what kind of service can you get? It was a very good tour.
Great Experience!

5.00Really enjoy our 1 day tour with them. They will pick you up and drop you back at your hotel. Our tour guide, Vinh, is a very friendly guy, knowledgeable and very encouraging. Our day trip was great because of him. My favorite was bee farm, it was my first time being up close to the bees! Price is affordable and include lunch. Highly recommend!

5.00I went on this Mekong Delta day trip with my friend and we had an absolutely amazing time from start to finish. Our guide Vinh was outstanding — super knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and professional. He spoke excellent English and made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and engaged. He shared a ton of interesting facts about the Mekong region, local life, culture, and food — always with a big smile. The boat ride through the smaller canals of the delta was peaceful and beautiful. We passed by lush landscapes, rice fields, and small villages, giving us a real taste of authentic rural Vietnam — far from the typical tourist spots. One of the highlights was the cooking class in the village. We got hands-on making traditional Vietnamese dishes, guided by locals, and then enjoyed a delicious lunch together. It was not just fun, but also a great cultural exchange. The group size was small, which made the experience more personal and relaxed. Everything was well-organized — no stress, no rush, just pure enjoyment. Huge thanks to Vinh for making this day so memorable, and shoutout to my friend for the laughs all day long! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City — it’s the perfect escape from the city and a deep dive into the beauty of the Mekong
Highly recommend.

5.00What an incredible experience. Everything was fantastic - the pick up and drop off to your hotel, the bus ride, the boat rides, the magnificent feast at lunchtime to cooking and eating a traditional Vietnamese dish. Our tour guide Vin made the trip perfect. He was kind, funny and was genuinely passionate about sharing the Vietnamese culture and history with us. We were very lucky to have a small group of 6 people which was great. It was a day that just kept getting better! Thank you Vin!
One day in the Mekong Delta.

We got an impression of how the locals live. We can highly recommend this tour.
