Exceptional - Our guide Le was amazing and so knowledgeable. An incredible day of exploring Mekong delta. Lots of cycling and it was awesome to go to local spots and see the local way of life. Best trip if you are wanting to avoid touristy stuff.

Best trip of our tour - I would rate this as the highlight of our entire trip. Pick up was early, 7am and we were introduced to our guide, Foo. We were with one other couple who fortunately were great fun and similar age to us. We made one stop on way to the market for a coffee in a very small coffee shop not a normal tourist trap. We arrived at the market and we made our way though being shown various herbs, plants, Vegs, fruit and meats. We were a bit of an attraction in the market as the only westerners and was not hassled once. We were then met by the boat drive who was great and taken onto the river, the Kayking was brilliant fun with the added problems of the weeds. It was also the perfect length of time with a small stop for a beer. Back into the main boat and a good selection of fruits and some fire water!
Once dropped of we picked up the bikes, which were all in excellent condition. We rode through lanes and canals for about 7 miles till we stopped for lunch. Again not a main eating place but a little treat of a place. The food was good then onto the bikes for about another 6 miles. All the locals seemed delighted to us with many “Hellos” shouted out as we rode past.
Our guide was perfect. The company excellent and I cannot recommend this trip high enough. Loved every minute.

A unique way to experience the Mekong - Kayaking the Mekong in a freak rainstorm was truly a magical experience, loved every second. A wonderful day out with Bao, who is clearly passionate about the outdoors and his homeland. Rice wine shots on the boat, getting to steer the boat along the Mekong, kayaking through small jungle canals... Does it get better? As for the bike ride - 20km sounds like a long distance, but you will barely feel it. You'll be too entranced by the surroundings. Be warned though - there is a short section of the track that is VERY narrow and rocky, with ditches on both sides. If you haven't ridden a mountain bike in a while, perhaps walk that section. I managed to come off my bike three times in ten minutes.

Active Mekong delta adventure. - Outstanding one day trip biking, kayaking, boating ! Also visited real food market along the riverside and really got a great sense about how people live along the Mekong delta. This is an active adventure so If you are looking to join a boat with 30 other tourist this is not for you. However if you want to wander through small roads through farms and villages and experience Vietnam, urge you to sign up for this trip.

Fantastic tour off the beaten track - Really good tour I would recommend. We got picked up at 7.15 from our apartment. We drove a while then stopped for coffee which was so delicious! Then we went to a traditional market with no tourist in sight. It was so colourful and interesting. Off on a boat tour and then amazing kayaking for about 30 mins or so. I love kayaking! And the Mekong Delta was so calm.
Phuk then gave us delicious fruit on the boat. I had a rest on the hammock and then we went to pick up our bikes.
We cycled for about 13km according to my watch. Had delicious lunch at a local place - a beef pho which was really delicious. Another 12km of cycling and then back on the bus. We got back to our apartment about 5.30pm.
Everyone was lovely, we felt well looked after and had a brilliant day.

Superb Mekon day trip - A genuinely excellent day of kayaking and biking around the Mekon with our brilliant guide Lee.
We were collected from our Saigon Hotel spot on time, driven to the tour location to experience a day of boating, kayaking and cycling, and being so well looked after by our knowledgeable and fun guide Lee. Easily one of our best days in Vietnam.

Highly recommended! - Really fantastic trip which we could not find a single fault with. Very helpful communication prior to the trip to help rearrange due to shortfall in minimum group numbers. Phuc was a fantastic host, funny and considerate. We had a short visit to Cai Be and then cycled 25km along the amazing canal side paths, had a beautiful local lunch and finished off with a boat/ kayak trip. Great value for a full day 7am-6.30pm with no uncomfortable tourist traps whatsoever. Highly recommended.
