Fabulous tour in Mekong Delta - The tour was absolutely fantastic! Many different activities, delicious fruit, yummy coconut candy and very good lunch. Our tour guide (Foo) Phu made it way more interesting, was fun and helpful! On top of that very affordable price.
Highly recommended!

Great tour, mediocre food. - Great tour, the guide has a great personality, always cracking jokes. Good variety of things including boats, canoe rides and various markets. The lunch left a little to be desired. The food was mediocre and a few people on the tour got scammed because the waiters put food on the table that you had to pay for extra. This wasn’t made clear at the beginning. Otherwise a good deal experience.

Sunny delta day - Our guide,Bao, was very good. He was very knowledgeable. We learnt a lot about life in the Mekong delta. We had many stops and were able to taste local produce such as lemon/honey tea, coconut sweets and an extensive lunch. The tour included a trip down a creek in a sampan, and a larger boat down the main river. There was also a visit to Vin Trang temple. It was an excellent tour; thank you, Bao.

Luxury group max 11 people - not so luxurious - We paid extra for a luxury tour with maximum 11 guests and there were 13 people squashed in a small mini van. Whilst the boat ride on the Mekong river and the island tour was lovely, sadly the 2 hours travel each way in the bus was anything but luxury.
