It was an overall great experience. Our tour guide, Big David, was superb. He spoke very good English, was very engaging, and made good jokes that kept us entertained throughout the trip. He was also very knowledgeable about the culture and history of the area, and we learned a lot from him. One of the highlights of the tour was the biking trip in the countryside by a small river. It was a great way to see the local way of life, and we got to see some beautiful scenery along the way. The overnight hotel was also excellent and we had the chance to explore the city by night after our arrival. However, we were a bit disappointed with the floating market. It was packed with tourists, and there were more tourists than traders. Despite this, overall, I would rate the tour a 4.5/5. The tour guide, Big David, was fantastic, and the biking tour was a highlight. The only downside was the over-crowded floating market.

We had an amazing day exploring the Mekong Delta with our tour guide, Tommy! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful! His English was excellent (a plus for my English speaking husband) and he also communicated in Vietnamese with my Vietnamese speaking parents. Tommy even took photos for our group (and other groups on the tour) and offered to share them with us which was greatly appreciated! The food was good and they were able to accommodate my husband’s diet request of no seafood. This was the first tour in Vietnam where we were actually picked up from our hotel on time! Other group tours we have booked were up to an hour late picking us up. Fun day! Excellent service!

The 2-day trip to the Mekong Delta was really fun and amazing! We were lucky to be the only couple that booked this tour for those days. We chose the 5-star option - the hotel was comfortable with various food options during breakfast. Our tour guide, Eddie, was super amazing! He is still very young and passionate about the job. He gave us a huge amount of information on the places we were visiting… his English was outstanding and he made the tour extra fun! Thank you for this experience, Eddie!

Amazing trip doing a large variety of wonderful activities and learning a lot about the Mekong Delta. And our guide Peter was excellent.

The guide was great and spoke very good english. The tour itself is well organized and worth a trip.
