We were lucky and surprised to have Typhoon Honey as a guide. The more, he told a lot bout coconut land and made us laughing. Ha was very tiring today as he let us bike 3 hours in 35 C. (Hehe half hour - beautiful) The tour was great : very quiet as hoped Tx
We took a tour not very touristy and full of interesting activities such as visiting local factories and boat rides
This is a great Mekong Delta tour with frequent stops to try local foods and see how people live along the river. My tour guide, Fully, is a great source of information, with enthusiasm, good stories and good insights. His English is great, he’s easy to understand and, as a bonus, he’s also funny.
The combination of beautifull nature, of the tasty food, of the nice people, of the local culture and of course of the tour guide, all contribute to a tour to always remember
Very interesting way of getting an insight of Mekong Delta. Small groups. U will visit local places. Highly recommended. The tour guide which name is Fully is very nice and helpful.
Pick up time and bus was on point. A Very clean air conditioned love bus led by tour guide Typhoon Honey who was very well spoken, knowledgeable cheeky and funny. Typhoon kindly shared his WIFI access during the bus ride home whilst so we could eagerly exchange our pics with the others and stories of the day. The drive was long however spectacular to watch from the glass windows of the varying suburbs and streets of old Saigon. Gradually strolling down to the water to meet our tug boat (which was a little bit worse for wear) through the colourful food markets was also a mini treat! TYPHOON HONEY held us close as we walked through the villages towards the restaurant. A Tuk Tuk & drove us scarily through one a very Yummy Luncheon amongst the water coconut trees and swamps was delightful. The Mekong is huge and the vast waters house fishing villages and huts all around. You Definitely must join this tour with Typhoon Honey from Delta Insight Tours! Book it NOW!
Our guided tour to Mekong Delta started with a pickup from our hotel. Our tour guide name Typhoon Honey picked us up on time. He made the trip full of laughter. We did a motor boat trip through Mekong River, a paddle boat through Mekong canal, coconut husk usage for multiple things, how mats are made, tour through village with tuk-tuk, lunch at Nha hang xu dua with the famous fried fish. It was a wonderful experience.
My wife and I enjoyed his hilarious Typhoonhoney company and the foods he introduced us was interesting. We enjoyed the foods at a restaurant out of no where called Nha Hang Xu Dua and the service was pleasantly and surprisingly good. The servers were friendly. Overall, the Mekong Delta tour was great for us and it was an enjoyable one day experience.
Great experience, loved the tour! Well thought out tour with a lovely lunch. Typhoon Honey was a pleasure to have as a guide and made the trip even more memorable, highly recommended!
Really enjoyed our trip in Ben Tre. Interesting stops along the way, great food, and Typhoon Honey was the best guide one could ask for: informed, funny, kind, and spoke perfect English.
