Great tour!!! - We had a great time on this tour visiting the Mekong Delta! Really fun seeing local markets and farms. We didn’t see any other tourists at all the entire day and it felt like we got a real glimpse into local life. We loved going by speedboat, it was really fun being on the water and an efficient way to get around. And our tour guide, Anna, was awesome. Really nice and informative and she made it so interesting and fun for us. This was a great experience, highly recommend!!!

Challenging Conditions of a Harsh Culture-it was as expected! - Authentic look into the life of local Mekong Delta communities. It was challenging to see as it does not look an easy life at all. Hard work & harsh elements to endure. The local customs, ancestor worship & maintainingbtge customs & care seemed exrtra work. So many strange gods & religions seemed confusing too!

Perfect trip - Top tour operator, well worth the price. Everything went smoothly from our hotel and back. Authentic places chosen to the route and an interesting glimpse to Vietnam’s history. No hidden costs and great tour guide. Strongly recommended.

A Great Tour of Mekong Delta by Speedboat! - We had a wonderful boat trip on the Mekong Delta. Our guide, Hang, was fun and informative! We visited a small town and walked through their market which was a great experience. We visited a farm and the farmer showed us around. An extremely authentic tour and not at all touristy! Would definitely recommend!

Great tour, lots of food - This was a very good tour. We were not too many people - enough to meet some new people but not too large a crowd. The boat ride is a lot of fun and there are plenty of enjoyable stops. Anna was a great guide, especially being patient with all my questions. There is also a LOT of food. It started with breakfast (skip the breakfast at the hotel), then fruit, more fruit, rice wine tasting, lunch, and more fruit. The service is really good. Most of the staff does not speak English but they are still friendly. Highly recommend this tour.
