Great good excellent 10/10 - Had such a fun day on this Mekong Delta trip! The boat ride was super chill, loved seeing all the coconut trees along the river. Tried fresh coconut candy – way better than I expected. I don’t even like coconut that much but these candies were so good, recommend you try it!! The xeloy ride through the village was bumpy but fun, felt really local. Lunch was simple but tasty. Honestly, it was just a nice break from Saigon’s chaos. If you want an easy day out with real countryside vibes, this tour is worth it.

The tour itself was really nice and relaxing - we liked the boat ride and local lunch a lot. Our guide was cheerful and spoke good English. The only downside was that our pick-up was a bit late because of traffic, so we had to wait in the lobby for a bit. But once the tour started, everything was smooth. Overall a lovely way to see the real countryside and escape the busy city for a day.

We joined the Small Group Authentic Mekong Delta tour and absolutely loved it. - The boat ride through the small canals was so peaceful and beautiful, surrounded by coconut trees everywhere! The lunch at the local house was delicious. Riding the xe loi was fun and gave us a real taste of rural life. Our guide was friendly and explained a lot about the local culture. Highly recommend if you want to see the real Mekong

Definitely Recommend - Wonderful guide (Ben) who took us to see a brick making factory and a candy making operation. Our lunch was delicious. We bicycled and rode in a little cart pulled by a scooter. Lovely scenery and great AC in the car. Ben had lots of interesting information. Great day.

Amazing Mekong Delta Authentic Experience - This trip, led by the one and only Typhoon Honey is a must do trip when visiting Saigon! It is highly enjoyable and educational, especially regarding brick making and coconut usage by the locals along the Mekong Delta. Our guide Typhoon was full of jokes and stories that made our trip even more entertaining!
