Two day Mekong delta trip - This was a wonderfully arranged trip. Our guide, Tri, is a composed, pleasant and extremely knowledgeable person! He made the trip worthwhile! The Bamboo Eco Lodge is a beautiful place. The bicycling through the village was wonderful and Tri came with us. The Mekong canals are not the cleanest, but one has to accept that. A fun trip and very memorable. Highly recommend it, and highly recommend Tri as a guide!!

Fantastic tour - This tour is organized incredibly well! You get to experience a lot of what the locals do in the delta, every stop is interesting and teaches you something about the local culture / business, it's paced well as you get to see a lot but it's not exhausting. The night stop is at a marvelous place, but I won't spoil it, and the food is great too.
Now to the best part: our guide, Tri, was wonderful, explaining a lot, and helpful and fun, and we also had a very smooth organisation as the owner and team are fluent in English. I can't recommend this enough! Best way of experiencing Mekong.

A hidden gem - What an amazing experience. Our guide TOM was fabulous, he was so knowledgeable and the information he told us over the two days was great.
We are a family of three, our son is only 6 years old we wasn’t sure if it would be to much, but he loved it. Tom was fantastic with him from the minute he meet him.
We enjoyed every bit of the trip, but the bamboo eco village hotel was outstanding. A hidden gem.

Great family trip and away from the big city - We had a great trip! Tri was our guide and he and driver did an excellent job in taking care of us and providing plenty to eat, drink and see.
We are a family of four with teenagers and it was perfectly catered for everyone. We enjoyed the temple visit, noodle making, cooking class and many boat tours and the floating market to name a few things. We stayed in the Bamboo Eco Lodge which had a great pool surrounded by lush greenery.
Would highly recommend this tour.

A must do - We loved this overnight tour. So many highlights including breakfast at the floating markets and the boat ride in the early morning mist. Tri was a wonderful host who shared so much about life and culture in this part of Vietnam and was extremely accommodating. Cannot believe what we packed into two days.

To recommend - I can highly recommend the tour. I had 2 wonderful days in the Mekong Delta. The accommodation was very nice! The tour was very well organized, everything went smoothly. The communication with the agency was great and very reliable. Our guide Tom was great! He was able to tell us a lot about the Mekong Delta, the culture and the history. Couldn't have been better.

Nice trip but basic tour ! Great guide ! - We had a lovely time discovering Mekong Delta. Tom our guide was very passionate about Vietnam and his people. He was also very informative !
The only thing we enjoyed less was the different stops we made (maybe 3) in places to « discover » local crafts. It was very touristy and didn’t seem authentic, we felt like we made all these stops to buy things (it’s understandable of course and was not mandatory) but I think it would be better to discover more of the nature. It was not what we were looking for.
But it was still a nice small trip !
