An Unforgettable Mekong Experience with Khoa! - We had an amazing time exploring the Mekong River, and our tour guide Khoa truly made the experience unforgettable. From the very start, Khoa was friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the region’s culture, history, and daily life. He spoke excellent English and was always happy to answer questions or share personal stories that gave deeper meaning to what we were seeing.

Unforgettable Mekong Delta Tour - We had an amazing private day tour through the Mekong Delta, and our experience was truly elevated by our fantastic guide, Lily. From the moment she picked us up at the hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, she was warm, welcoming, and full of energy.
Lily was incredibly knowledgeable about the region, its culture, and traditions – but what really stood out was how genuinely she cared about making the tour special for us. She tailored the day to our interests, was always attentive to our needs, and even made spontaneous adjustments when we wanted to.
The region and tour is may be a bit touristy but we did not feel like that during our private tour specially thanks to our guide. Whether we were cruising along the Mekong River, tasting fresh fruit and honey tea in a local home, Lily was always there to explain and share insights we would have completely missed on our own.
Thanks to her, we not only saw the highlights, but also got a real sense of everyday life in the Delta – something that made the whole day feel authentic.

Great Experience ! - It was my first time visiting Vietnam, and exploring the Mekong Delta was definitely the highlight of the trip! From visiting the temple, to the bee farm, to the coconut farm, to the river (getting to row boat manually), everything was great! Adding on, the bus ride was very comfortable too!
Hinnie, our SST Tour Operator, was incredibly responsive and kind. I received a confirmation text within 24 hours of booking, along with plenty of helpful information to prepare for the tour.
Our tour guide, Lily, was energetic, engaging, and full of knowledge. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed having her lead the trip!
Cảm ơn to both Hinnie and Lily for making this experience so memorable!
I would definitely engage SST Travel the next time i’m visiting Vietnam!

ELBIEE OPERATOR - Joined the tour yesterday - June 5th. It’s my first time joining a big group as I usually travel on a DIY trip. Best decision as ELBIEE OPERATOR took their time in picking me up and dropping me off at the hotel. Very convenient for a first time traveler in Vietnam. Affordable and solo traveler friendly. Will absolutely recommend to my friends. And oh tour guide was awesome too! Thanks a lot!

Mekong tour by Lily - I really enjoyed the Vietnam Mekong tour, especially with the help of our amazing guide, SST Lily! We started the day at the Buddha temple, then rode a boat to Unicorn Island. After that, we took another boat and did some fun activities before having a delicious meal. We also visited the coconut candy factory, which was super interesting! On the way back, it started to rain while we were still on the boat in the river, but Lily took great care of us and made sure we were safe. She was very kind and helpful throughout the whole tour. Highly recommend!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE ✨✨✨ - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Amazing Mekong Delta Experience with a Fantastic Guide!
We had an unforgettable day exploring the Mekong Delta on a tour from Ho Chi Minh City! Everything was well-organized from start to finish — comfortable transport, beautiful scenic stops, and a great balance of cultural experiences and relaxation.
Our guide was the real highlight of the trip. Lily was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. She gave us so much insight into Vietnamese culture, history, and daily life in the Delta. She also took the time to answer all our questions and made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and engaged.
We especially loved the boat rides through the canals, the local lunch, and visiting the coconut candy and honey farms. It felt authentic and not overly touristy. The pace was just right — not rushed at all.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City who wants to see the peaceful, green side of southern Vietnam. Big thanks to SST Travel and Lily for making the day so memorable!
