See the Mekong Delta beyond the postcards. We time the day for sunrise at Cai Rang Floating Market, arriving as trading boats buzz with sellers of pineapples, noodles and coffee. Breakfast is served from a market boat so you can eat like a local. After the market, switch to a small sampan to explore quiet back canals, stop at a family rice-noodle workshop to watch the craft and taste it fresh, and—if you wish—take an easy bicycle ride along village paths to meet people where they live and work. With expressway transfers, hotel pickup, and small-group or private options, you spend less time on the road and more time experiencing the real Delta.

I recommend this tour

Harry was a very good tour operator. He was very knowledgeable about the tunnels and the booby traps. He was also very knowledgeable about the Mekong river and all the other sights we saw. He mixed in some humour with the tour. I would recommend Harry and this tour to anyone

Awesome !

Kenny was an absolutely fantastic tour guide and truly made our experience unforgettable. From the very beginning, his fun-loving nature set a warm and welcoming tone for the entire trip. He has a great sense of humor and knows how to keep everyone engaged and enjoying every moment. What really stood out was how caring and attentive he was—always making sure everyone in the group was comfortable, safe, and having a great time. His deep knowledge about the places we visited added so much value, as he shared interesting facts, stories, and insights that you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. Kenny is also incredibly respectful and professional, treating everyone with kindness and patience. He strikes the perfect balance between being informative and entertaining, which makes him a truly exceptional guide. If you ever get the chance to tour with Kenny, don’t miss it—you’ll not only learn a lot but also have a genuinely enjoyable and memorable experience!

Excellent private excursion to Mekong Delta with boat tours.

We thoroughly enjoyed our private excursion to the Mekong Delta. Our tour guide, Luan, was excellent. He and our driver picked us up at the cruise port. He has excellent rapport with the people at the various sites we visited, spoke excellent English and imparted lots of interesting facts about his country. He also wanted to learn about our country, so it was a very pleasant day of conversation back and forth. The lunch we were served was outstanding and we had fun visiting islands by boat. I highly recommend this tour.

Worth it and very good guide

Overall a great experience. Our guide Mr Pha did a wonderful job explaining everything we needed to know and more on local customs, culture and history. The drive in/out of Ho Chi Minh is a little tedious due to the extreme traffic congestion here, but at least the coach had good working a/c and was well maintained. I would certainly recommend this tour.

A++ Tour with great guide!

We booked in the afternoon after visiting the war museum in HCMC wanting to get a better understanding of what it was like in that time. Our guide My was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The car was clean and cool, the driver great, and we learnt so much about the tunnels as well as Vietnam in general. A stop at a local craft factory was interesting too!

This is the best way to...

This is the best way to experience the city and learn so much!! Hao was a great tour guide. I do not think we would have been able to really get the unique experience that is HCMC if we tried to create this ourselves. And riding around in an open top jeep was just a fun way to experience it. Definitely recommend this to anyone coming to visit HCMC!!

Cu Chi Tunnel Half Day Tour

We did a half day tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Our tour guide Kai was excellent and he provided some wonderful insights, knowledge and facts about the area and the relevance of the tunnels. This was a very enjoyable tour that covered all the main points of interest, a stop at a creative outlet, and a lovely lunch. Kai and our driver were top notch and we really appreciated the pick up from our hotel. The walk/crawl through about 20 metres of tunnel was a highlight, but is not for the feint hearted. Highly recommend this tour and Kai.

Wonderful day exploring the Mekong Delta

We had a wonderful day exploring the Mekong Delta. Our guide Heidi was very knowledgeable & made the experience very enjoyable. We saw a pagoda and some huge Budda's, travelled in 3 boats of various sizes, visited the candy factory where my partner got to taste snake wine🤢I wasn't brave enough to try it. We had a ride in a Saigon Mercedes (a motorbike with a trailer attached, which transported us to out lunch venue), we did a little bit of traditional cooking before our delicious lunch. Then it was time for a bike ride to work off the calories. After this we saw some crocodiles, snakes, toads & catfish in enclosures. Some of our group were able to feed the crocodiles & catfish. Then it was off to sample some very tasty tropical fruit & listen to some beautiful traditional music & singing, after which we stopped for a small glass of green tea, sweetened with local honey & tamarind juice. We were shown the bees on the honeycomb & were even encoutraged to hold one. We visited Unicorn Island on our way back & all the way along our journey, Heidi gave us an interesting commentary which made the area come alive. I can thoroughly recommend this tour. Definitely worth your time & money.

Unforgettable Food Tour with Long

Our guides name was Long & even after me messing up our booking he was so very helpful. We enjoyed this tour with Long, he was extremely pleasant & very knowledgeable. We made him laugh with our Aussie ways. I was hesitant about trying street food in Vietnam but everything was delicious & we had no ill effects afterwards. Even drank peach tea with ice cubes. I would definately recommend this tour to give you an idea about their local food & some of their traditions. We had a great time!!
