Great ride, great guide. - Bao was a fantastic guide....energetic and full of knowledge about the surrounding countryside. Nothing was too much trouble for him, and he tailored our trip to us, and luckily enough for us we even got to have an authentic home cooked lunch at the Boat Captains place, cooked by his wife and daughter, which was a huge privilege for us to share our time with them...
The kayak was easy enough to do, yet very interesting, and capped off with a 20 km easy bike ride around the canals and homes of the locals. All the locals were friendly and welcoming, and we thoroughly enjoyed every part of the trip. We would have no hesitation recommending Bao to anyone who is after an extremely unique experience. It was definitely the best tour we have done so far in Vietnam, and lve done a few.. Thanks again Bao, your a champ...

Unmissable experience of the Mekong Delta & countryside Vietnam - Absolutely phenomenal experience! Our tour guide Lee took us through the Mekong Delta river & countryside Vietnam markets & villages in what was a fantastic all rounded day. Lee was a great companion for the day providing great entertainment and knowledge while also personalizing the experience for us. We stopped for lunch, street food, snacks and drinks, the bikes were great and easy to ride. If you visit Ho Chi Minh City and don't do this tour, you are missing out!!!!

Mekong Delta visit - This tour was really great! Our tour guide, Lee, was extremely friendly and had lots of information about the area. Usually, the tour needs 4 people, but it was the low season so the tour was just for my friend and I. The bike ride went through a few villages and pretty scenery. The bikes are okay, and had no issues. Our boat driver was nice and the kayaking was smooth (if a little windy at the start). The floating market was closed, so we only saw the empty boats. The stops for food were nice and we definitely didn't go hungry!

Great time off the “touristy” path, not for first time bikers. - We really enjoyed the “off the beaten” path tour. The fresh snacks on the boat to include fresh coconut were great touches. The lunch was delicious. I rate this a five star with the expectation that my group was familiar and comfortable with kayaking and biking in new/foreign places. If this is a first time to kayak and/or bike in a new place, this wouldn’t be the trip (there were a few single tracks while biking and need to be confident in biking on roads with several motor bikes/cars in certain areas). We did this in June. Apply and reapply sunblock especially on your feet as you will be bare foot in the kayak.
Phuc was a great tour guide!

Highly recommended - Had a fantastic day out with Phuc as our guide. Totally lived up to its promise to stay off the tourist track.
Be aware that you both Kayak and cycle a long way - a smidgen too far for our ten year old in the humidity of July, but a great experience for the rest of us!

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.

One Injured, One Lost and left behind - Not a good experience and am rewriting as we since experienced much better with another company. This tour was rushed and we were constantly prevented from stopping to look around or take photos.
A Belgian family of 4, my wife and I were on this fast race through the Delta. The Mother of the other family needed her husband to push her along, my wife found it hard to keep up and I decided I hadn't paid a lot of money to be prevented from taking photos or looking at life. The result was the guide cycled on leaving me lost and alone in the Delta. My wife was knocked off her bike severely bruising and injuring her by the guide rushing past closely on a narrow path.
My previous review, the owner blamed my wife even though she is an experienced cyclist. No acknowledgment from him of the serious issues experienced by both groups.
Lunch was good and bikes were good quality.
