We had a good experience...

Susan_H, Feb 2026

We had a good experience on the 2 day/1 night trip to the Mekong Delta. Our tour guide, Bar, was very helpful and informative. Was wonderful to see the floating market before sunrise, and all the food was delicious. Would recommend!

Poor Organisation

Stacey_B, Jan 2025

The organisation was a mess. Received a message the night before demanding more money. The first day was with 1 tour company, then we got dropped off to a different tour company. After that I think we were on a different similar tour. There was a dinner crude included, a temple, an almost empty amusement park (with tortured monkey circus), & no monkey bridge. The bus broke down on the way back, but they had another tour stop and pick most of us up. The remainder fit in a cab I heard. They didn't ask for the extra money they demanded the day before & the person who demanded it is now messaging me for a good review. Didn't realise the included breakfast wasn't at the markets. The markets themselves are not as expected. Recommend picking a tour that eats there, as it would be experiencing the markets, instead of just viewing them.

Jam packed adventure

Christine_N, May 2023

Communicated with Paige via WhatsApp for the booking process, very easy and smooth process. Tour guide was the charismatic and enthusiastic Hau who did a great job at wrangling the big group while also keeping an upbeat entertaining vibe. Pickup from hotel and return to the city were both timely, despite the national holiday traffic. Because it was the national holiday week (April 30 & May 1), my tour group was pretty big and had lots of domestic Vietnamese tourists, which meant that the outnumbered English-speaking foreigner tourists had a slightly different experience. Tour guide Hau translated to English after each explanation, but since I could understand both Vietnamese and English, I could tell that there's a bit of nuance lost. Not too much, but I would recommend a foreigner to book at a less busy time in a smaller group if you want a more individualized experience and chance to ask questions. The itinerary is pretty densely packed, you'll get to see a lot, but at an expedited pace (again, because of big group. probably different experience with a smaller group). A lot of it was demonstrations (such has how foods are made) and chance to support local businesses, which is all good and fine, except for the bamboo sales pitch. We were dropped off, put into a classroom and watched a multi-product demonstration by spokesperson for some 20-30 minutes, then released to the sales floor, which forced a long zigzag path through all the aisles to get to the exit. Felt cultish, total tourist bait, a huge turnoff. Knocks off a whole star from the rating because of such blatant advertising without even any engagement. Otherwise, the tour overall was cool, they handle all the transit and meals, there's lots of pretty scenery to see. My favorite was the little rowboat ride on the river, it was the most picturesque.
