We spent an extraordinary day in the Mekong Delta and highly recommend this agency. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The driver picked us up from our hotel on time, in a very comfortable car. Our guide was absolutely great: kind, competent and very attentive throughout the day. We particularly appreciated the fact that the experience is authentic and untouristic. We visited local workshops, discovered traditional carpet making, watched the coconut work, tasted a fresh coconut picked directly from the tree, and then enjoyed a delicious lunch on the Mekong River. One of our favourite moments was a relaxing break in the hammocks by the water before a magnificent small boat ride in the canals. We were finally just the two of us, which made the experience even more special and peaceful. Thank you for an unforgettable day — one of the most beautiful moments of our trip to Vietnam.
Unexcited getting to know the region with country and people in a small group. Highlight was the river trip on the Mekong
We booked the full trip day , An was our guide and took really good care off us. Everything and everyone was nice. If you have the time do it and enjoy.
What a great day this was! Our guide An was extremely friendly and could tell us a lot about the area. With the tour you really get to know the local life and stay far away from the whole tourism. Along the way we often stopped to look at the local coconut factory, and the weaving mill. We have also been able to taste many different local snacks, dishes, street food and drinks. I recommend this to everyone!
It was a very nice tour. We went to very nice places that were not too touristy, but were very nice to look at. The guide really took the time for us to explain everything and was very friendly. Highly recommended!
Full day with a small group to learn about the local life, food, lifestyle and the Mekong Delta. Really nice to drive around by bikes and the short hammock break after the great lunch was also very good. Thank you An for the great and personal tour.
Great experience, really local....a day worthwhile ! Good team. Good scooters. With a small sailboat to the Delta....with fruit tasting
Pick-up at our guest room Scooter available working very well The life of this day punctuated by coconut processing visits Meal at 13 hours short suite in a hammock then departure for sailing tour for 1h30 on an arm of the Mekong Great.
Really authentic and super recommended tour! At Ben Tre we discovered the artisanal workings of coconut up close and experienced a beautiful ride on the Mekong, a simple and pleasant but very engaging experience. Special thanks to An, our guide: super competent, helpful and cooperative even before the tour, helping us with the organization since we left independently from Ho Chi Minh. During the day it was engaging and explanatory, it made us really understand life in the delta, with passion. A perfect tour
A wonderful custom experience that brings you into the real lives of the people. This was a highlight of our trip, memories we'll never forget. The type of trip tourists are actually looking for when they visit Vietnam.
