Great way to experience the Mekong Delta - We very much enjoyed this trip with Ry our tour leader. From Chau Ho we toured the Mekong on a boat, saw the floating market, had tea and tropical fruit on a floating home, learned how to make rice paper, visited a pagoda , toured a local market and finished with a delicious lunch. As part of the lunch we learned how to make Vietnamese pancakes and finished the day with a bike ride around the village. Ry was keen that we all enjoyed the experience and his enthusiasm was infectious. There were 8 of us on this tour - couples, solo travellers and a small group. I can recommend this tour - please be aware that it takes a few hours to arrive but very much worth the drive. Thank you also to our safe driver.

Great two days on Mekong Delta - Jimmy our tour guide was brilliant and loved sharing his knowledge. He took lots of pictures and was very enthusiastic and was always making sure we were happy even when things didn’t go to plan ( rain at the floating markets). It was very organised and we managed to get a lot done over the 2 days but didn’t feel too rushed the accommodation was great for the price and food was good lots of options available and able to cater for diatry requirements the table was always full! The dinner boat was very busy and a bit overwhelming wouldn’t do it again but aprat from that the trip was great! There was lots of opportunities to buy things however never felt too much pressure to buy things. Definitely recommend this trip especially for the price

My experiance with Dragon Sea Tour's - The guys at Dragon Sea Tour's are just amazing very well organised, very reasonably priced and excellent knowledge as tour guides as well. My family and I, went on the 2 nights Mekong tour with transit through to Cambodia via speed boat. Everything was just perfect and on time as advised by the company representatives. We met some amazing people on the way the transportation was very comfortable with AC all working well. All the places we stopped at either breakfast, lunch or dinner were excellent taste and quality and very filling as well. I would like to send out a special thanks to our very knowledgeable tour guide Jimmy and also to Kevin who organised it all for us. I highly recommend Dragon Sea Tours for any of your sight seeing, transfer or touring needs.
