All Mekong Delta Tours & Excursions in 2026

Pick up was on time, but I wasn't happy to see that we were on a bigger, and less luxurious bus than is shown in the photos. This bus was comfortable enough though and there was only 8-people in the group, so plenty of space on board. There should have been 10 people on this tour, but our guide, Jack, spent 5 minutes chasing and calling the last 2 people, but when the 5 minutes was up we left without them. I really liked this, as there is nothing worse than spending a long time waiting for people who are inconsiderate of others. On first meeting our guide, Jack, I wondered if he was the right guide for us, but I was wrong....... he is THE BEST guide. Of all the tours we have done in Vietnam, this tour beats them all, and this is solely because of Jack. He gave us an in-depth interactive history lesson of the last 1600 years of wars in Vietnam on the bus journey, and my family and I loved it. His English is perfect, and he knows so much about history. He threw out packs of crackers to anyone who got any of his history questions right, which was a lot of fun. We stopped at a workplace where handicapped people make these art pieces from eggshell, mother of pearl, rosewood and lacquer. Normally, I would skip this type of thing, but the lady showing us around was so interesting telling us about how the workplace operates, that we actually ended up buying 2 of these pieces from the shop. The shop has many, many lovely items for sale. The actual tour went by quick with Jack often skipping past some displays and then we would circle back and do them later when they were quieter, as there was a lot of other tourists. We crawled through a long 95 metre tunnel, which you either had to crawl on all fours, or scurry along on the tips of your toes. My daughter and I did the full length, but my wife and younger daughter left by a side exit (escape route) after about 30 metres. Jack showed us a lot of things, and we were never kept waiting, or allowed to be bored. We had plenty of photo opportunities and bathroom breaks when needed, and nothing felt rushed. My daughter fired an AK-47 with 20 bullets and said it was worth the money for 1,500,000VND. On the way back, we had lunch at a restaurant 5 minutes from Cu Chi tunnels, and there was plenty of food and it was very tasty. You buy your own drinks, but it's cheap. I recommend you do this tour, but I also suggest you arrange the time and date for when Jack is available. You will not be disappointed.

Chris was our personal tour guide for this 5-6 hour long tour. It was long but we never felt tired and it was worth every penny! Chris (Minh Nhật) is a local enthusiastic young man and we were so lucky he was our guide! He was professional, friendly, helpful and informative. The tour started with a pickup from our hotel, getting on the small boat driven by a kind older lady. She's been driving boats for 30-40 years and was very skilled at maneuvering around the river. We boated over to Chợ Nổi Cái Răng (Cai Rang Floating Market), while Chris shared various tidbits of history and meaning behind the river, the people living on the boats and the market. We enjoyed fresh cafe sữa đá (Vietnamese iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk) and fresh squeezed orange juice from a man on another boat, then got to enjoy a lovely bowl of hủ tiếu noodle (veggie or meat) for breakfast while the sun rose over us. It was magical. Chris then showed us one of the families that lives in a set of 4 house boats on the river, while enjoying fresh cut local fruit. After this we went down a small canal to check out water coconut and then another one to go to the small noodle factory. At the noodle factory we learned how noodles we were made from rice flour and tapioca starch, steamed, dried then cut. We bought some unique colored noodles here made with dragon fruit, butterfly pea flower, turmeric and pandan leaf. The tour continued with a visit to a local cacao farm where the owner and his family walked us through the process of growing cacao beans to processing them into final products. We got to taste the chocolate along the way and were wowed by the rich intensity of the cacao. We finished the tour with a lovely 1 hour-ish boat ride back to our hotel. Chris and the boat driver (Mung) made this one of the most amazing and unique tours we've been on. Would highly recommend this to anyone!!

We had the greatest tour with Sasa! We did the floating market, cocoa farm, small canals rice noodle factory! It was really informative, fun and interesting to learn about the local Mekong culture and ways of living. We would really recommend doing a tour with Sasa. Thank you very much, Sasa!
