Private Mekong Experience car

This trip was amazing. Our guide Tom was so knowledgable about the history of Vietnam which made the experience that much more enjoyable and interesting! We had a private tour which made it that much more enjoyable. Boating down the Mekong River was an experience I won’t ever forget!

Great day in Mekong Delta, wonderful guide!!

Me and my girlfriend were impressed by how well everything was organized. The boats were waiting on time, the entertainers as well. Busy day with a lot of activities. And Yến Linh, the guide, well.... she literally took care of us in every aspect. She spent time with each and every one of us, the group. She wanted us to have a good time, she even sang a short song for us. 5 stars for Linh 👍👍👍 10 stars if possible 👍👍👍

Awesome Trip

We really enjoyed this trip to the Mekong Delta. Our tour guide THAO was a very knowledgeable person. He was very friendly and cooperative. The only let down was the lunch which was not really good.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your review. We are really appreciated for your feedback. We will improve the food to make the tour better next time. See you soon in Vietnam!
