Highly commercialized tour. The orchard visit should be a guided walk with plant explanations, not sitting at a table eating some pieces of fruit and listening to music. Zero focus on the delta—just rushing from one tourist shop to another
Great way to get a taste of Mekong Delta culture. Impecable organization. Nick is a great guide - informative, attentive and entertaining. Recommend.
This was very interesting. We saw local life and interesting landscape. We enjoyed being in boats and local transports. And the people were very kind. Food was good, and they accommodated my no pork preference. Be aware when you go: the locals have suffered economically with changes to the river. So several times you will be asked to tip the locals or buy local product. It’s fine, not a hard sell, but be prepared. Our guide was Duc and he was very good. Wonderful temple en route
Took a trip with our guide Minh. Great trip, very helpful guide and great value for money.
Vinny is literally the best. Trainee also really good. I would give a 10 star. He’s very friendly and explains everything very nicely. The experience was amazing. Whole thing was very fun. Its a lovely place and activities are amazing. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The guide, Mr Fa was knowledgeable about the Mekong delta and gave insights to Vietnam’s way of life, which let me and my friends appreciate Vietnamese culture even more.
Our Thuan guide was very kind and helpful to answer all our curiosities! We enjoyed the tour.
Good job, amazing, nice, funny, knowledgable, accommodating
Nice tour. Nice activities..
We did the Mekong River, Sampan Ride and Coconut Village tour. What a great tour, we had bus, boat, sampan, tuk tuk and pushbikes. Visited temple, honey farm, coconut processing, dancing, wine tasting etc. Harry (Mokey) was our guide, he was informative, hilarious, engaging and kept us informed and safe throughout the day
