Excellent day - Our guide, Bao was excellent from start to finish. The boat trip and kayaking were great. We got caught in a heavy storm which made the day more fun! The cycle was good, safe .. would maybe benefit from a few more stops Lunch at a local restaurant. Again hosted excellently Deffo not a tourist trap.. a very insightful view of the Mekong as a local.

Great day out - highly recommend - Absolutely fantastic day out led by the lovely Quang. We were collected from our hotel exactly on time and set off for the Mekong, we had a coffee break on the way at a little cafe, Quang gave us info about the areas we were travelling through which was informative and interesting. We stopped at the local market before boarding a boat to take us to where we would kayak, again we were led safely by Quang. Then we returned to the boat and picked up the boats they’d previously asked for heights so the bikes were matched to us and ready to go when we arrived. This was my favourite bit seeing the lovely area and seeing outside the city, it’s a lovely place and really interesting to see how local people live. We stopped for a locally prepared lunch then did the final 10k of the bike ride, we are 50+ and reasonably fit the pace was easy going and Quang offered stops along the way if we needed them, most of the time we didn’t! Again lots of interesting info and stories, we felt we’d learnt more about Vietnam and Vietnamese traditions and customs than the rest of our time here. It’s a great day out, experience some authentic culture and sights - I’d highly recommend- thank you!

Incredible! - What a fantastic experience! We had the most amazing day with our guide Bao and recommend this as an absolute must-do! You do need a certain amount of fitness to do this, but they adjust the itinerary to match the ability/level of the group. (I am not at all in shape and haven’t been on a bike in years, but was able to easily handle it no problem). The area of the Mekong we kayaked was very calm and the biking route we took was mostly flat, which made it easier in the heat. They also take lots of breaks and passed out lots of water so that really helped too. We toured a (very) local market and sampled all kinds of local fruit, had a nice and very local lunch, rode a sampan boat, and all in all an incredible day. It was totally off-the-beaten path and not at all touristy, which I loved. But a special shout out to Bao, our guide: he did an incredible job, constantly looked out for us as we kayaked and rode, and really made us feel comfortable. Lastly, the company and staff are well-organized and put-together - will definitely do this again next time we’re in Vietnam. Thank you so much!

Amazing day out - Incredible tour, the kayaking was fantastic, the cycling was great fun and through parts you wouldn’t necessarily visit yourself. The food at lunch was delicious, especially trying the local Mekong wine! The tour guide Henry was fun, great sense of humour and very knowledgeable.

Great Tour with Bao - Our trip with Bao was great! We had the whole river to ourselves to kayak and biking through the villages was a very unique experience. Even in the down pouring rain, it was a memorable and awesome trip!

Landscape and fun with some sport - We had spontaneously decided to book the trip the day before. There were only two of us. Therefore, it had become a private tour. We had booked a German guide, which turned out to be an English speaker. But okay. Hoang was very good. We had a lot of conversations. He showed us all the fruits on the tour we saw. We learned a lot about life in the Mekong Delta. In kayaking we were the only ones we found very great. Boats are very good. We cycled relaxed along the canals. The bikes are good brand mountain bikes. It was a very nice and eventful day. Thank you Hoang
