excellent - The authentic Ben Tre experience I went to the Mekong Delta for the first time. Ben Tre is a very quiet and laid back place. It felt good to ride a small boat and go slowly along the river. It was fun to watch coconut candy making. Lunch was also delicious with Vietnamese home cooking. I'd like to come with my family again.

Great day in Ben Tre! - We spent a wonderful day in the Mekong Delta, around Ben Tre. The organization was perfect and our guide spoke very good French, which allowed us to understand everything easily. He was very kind and always smiling, he knew how to make the visit lively and interesting. We loved the boat ride and the local lunch. We highly recommend this excursion to discover the authentic life of the area

Great place i have ever gone - Absolutely loved this tour to Ben Tre. It was such a peaceful escape from the city. The pace was just right enough time for the boat, local village visit, and a fantastic lunch by the river. The whole day felt authentic, the car was clean and AC which made the journey pleasant. Highly recommend for families or couples!

Nice local experiences, highly recommend this trip - My family and I went to Ben Tre in May and had a great experience. The transport was comfortable, our guide Bau was also very enthusiastic and created a good atmosphere to help us feel comfortable throughout the trip. The food was very eye-catching and delicious (but the thing that impressed me the most was coconut candy hahaha). I highly recommend this trip, I will come back to experience other places.

A must do tour when visiting Ho Chi Minh. Typhoon Honey our guide was the best! - We had a fantastic day out, made even better by our wonderful guide, Typhoon Honey! What a legend … funny and Informative. Our Driver Tung was also wonderful keeping us comfy,cool and safe. Typhoon Honey made sure we had a great day and kept us entertained. We cruised along the Mekong Delta in a nice comfy boat and sipped away on a fresh coconut. We visited a coconut candy factory, had a spectacular lunch, learnt about village life and so much more. Unfortunately and unexpectedly I was on crutches, so while the others biked through the countryside, a tuk tuk was arranged for me and I was well looked after. Thank you Typhoon Honey … and remember - No Money, no Honey :)

A great a way to spend a day - We had the best day with our hilarious guide, Typhoon Honey, and our excellent driver, Tung. Typhoon is such great company and it’s obvious that he has a fantastic relationship with the local people and places we visited. The tour itself was comfortable in a modern, air conditioned van and started with a trip down the Mekong Delta before visiting a brick manufacturer, a coconut candy factory (yum!), a wee bike to lunch (or optional Tuk Tuk), a beautiful local lunch, another bike through a local village, another boat trip, and a walk through some local markets where Typhoon pointed out foreign fruits and vegetables. It was an excellent day filled with local culture and information with a hotel pick up and drop off by Tung. Thank you!

A fantastic trip to the Mekong Dekta. - The full day tour of the Mekong Dekta exceeded all our expectations. The scenery was lovely, the food fantastic and the detailed explanation of the local history and geography by our guide Han was really informative and interesting. Tien our driver made us feel very safe and comfortable. The day was made by how friendly Han and Tien were. We could not have been better looked after. I would definitely do this tour again.

Well worth the money and a great experience! - Our experience with Typhoon Honey (Tpur Guide) and the private tour in the Mekong Delta was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we were picked up, the team went above and beyond to ensure every detail of the day was seamless and tailored to our preferences. The highlights included a serene boat ride through the tranquil canals, vibrant floating markets, and a visit to a local village where we got an authentic glimpse into daily life. Typhoon Honey added so much depth to the experience with their expertise, storytelling, and genuine warmth. They made sure we felt comfortable and engaged at every step. The private setting allowed us to truly connect with the beauty of the Mekong Delta at our own pace—no crowds, no rush, just pure immersion in nature and culture. And the honey tasting? Simply divine! It was a unique, flavorful treat that perfectly complemented the experience. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Vietnam. We left with cherished memories, a deeper appreciation for the Mekong Delta, and a smile on our faces. Highly recommend Typhoon Honey and their exceptional team for an unparalleled adventure!
