All Mekong Delta Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 6

We were the only two people on the boat and Quyen took care of us. She did an outstanding job in giving us all the information about Can Tho and the floating market and made sure we were always well fed 😊 it was really nice trip and I would recommend it to every friend and family member

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.

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!
