Best tour guide in Vietnam - We did a Mekong Delta tour with Kim Travel. We highly recommend Tim, our tour guide. He gave a lot of information about the history of Vietnam, particularly its capital and Mekong river. Aside from his knowledge as a tour guide, he kept entertaining us throughout our trip. His humor kept as alive.

Highly enjoyable tour - excellent value for money - - Thanh/Tim was an amazing tour guide, going out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful experience. The tour was excellent value, snacks and lunch provided. Several boats and experiences on the Mekong river. My favourite aspect was Tim’s generosity with the history he shared with us and his sense of humour throughout the tour. Highly recommend

Tam the man - Tám was an enthusiastic and engaging tour guide throughout the entirety of the day. It was evident he had plenty of knowledge on the past of Vietnam as well as agriculture, Buddhism and general life of people along the Mekong. Especially enjoyed the river coconut tasting and his presentation on how to dehusk and coconut. The included lunch was okay, but was very helpful in accommodating dietary needs. I went as a single person and felt very included and would highly recommend!

Excellent experience - An excellent tour with a variety of authentic experiences. We glimpsed the everday lives of people in the Mekong who were gracious and welcoming hosts. The driver made us feel safe on the journey. And our guide Pou (sorry if the spelling is wrong) was fantastic, informative, funny, caring and always looking out for us . Highly recommend tour and a memorable and humbling experience for us. Thank you to the team from Di and Karel

Worth every penny - Very enjoyable and entertaining trip. Tim the tour guide was amazing. Well with the fee. Both of us had a great time, traveling by coach, boat, row boat and buggy through and around the Delta and being entertained by the locals

Whatever I was expecting, this wasn't it! - Whatever I was expecting, this wasn't it! I felt like I was on "the proverbial tourist conveyor belt" being shuffled from one boat to the next, lost count in the end! No real content of any value as we just whizzed through village after village not really exploring fully how the coconut ice-creams (we were encouraged to buy) were made, or how the entire coconut was used in the coconut factory - An interesting insight totally overlooked! Endless encouragement to buy goods on offer, even the singers passed around their "Donation Box" Perhaps the tour should be marketed more as "Insight into Village Life - A community Project" and less about trying to cram so much boat shuffling into a few hours. As a tourist travelling 4 hours to see the Delta, I would have liked to have seen less litter lying around, and heard more info about the significance of the Delta.
