This was a really good tour to the Mekong Delta from Ho Co Minh City. Our tour guide Tom was excellent and the day had a good variety of things to do. Tom was very informative and made everyone feel very welcome. The only downside was the time to get to and from the Delta. The journey there was long but just about bearable but on the way back we hit Sunday evening traffic and it seemed to take for ever. This wasn’t the tour’s fault but it’s worth bearing in mind if you’re thinking of booking this tour.

This was an exceptional tour and as promised, "less touristy" than others we had been on. Our guide was very informative and took us to an amazing brick factory and local village areas. Highlights were the homemade lunch in an island hut on stilts, cycling through the jungle and paddling down the Mekong canals in a small raft. Great day!

Tom was a great guide!
We had a lot of fun.
We learned a lot about the history of Vietnam and its extensive handicrafts.

There was definitely no shortage of drinks and delicious meals (too much for us).

Great experience. Guide Tony was so energic and shared a lot of information with us. We visited places where no other people were, got a great lunch at a family’s house (also vegeterian option), rode a bike and got a lot of things to taste on different places. We had a group of 6 people which was comfortable. Recommend!

What a wonderful tour of the Mekong Delta, and the hard working people of Vietnam, great home cooked meals, sampled chocolate, honey tea. Went to brick factory, matt making, coconut candy, a tuk tuk ride and a boat and a nice ride.

Our guide Tri was polite, knowledgeable and super nice which made our day all the more better. Thanks Tri, a big thumbs up to you

Although they canceled my original requested tour the night before, I still got to go the next day. Highlight of tour was our guide Tri. Great guy who spoke English well. The tour itself is kind of silly as you go to a few places that are somewhat interesting and then have a ice lunch in a beautiful setting and take a small boat back to a bigger boat but to be honest, it best another day in Saigon and gave me a chance to get into the country and on the Mekong River for 1/2 day. Be prepared to spend a solid 5 hours in a van though. Guide was terrific and the joy travel people weee very professional. We also had very few tourists where we went so the “less touristy” option to me is mandatory for a good day out of Saigon.

First, I would like to mention the amazing customer support Ánh provided via WhatsApp!
Then I want to thank our great tour guide Helen, she was absolutely lovely and provided us with interesting insights on the lives and culture of Vietnamese people.
The tour itself was just perfect. We were only two people in our group and we also didn't see many other groups during our tour. All the stops were really interesting and there was never any pressure to buy anything.
Riding the bicycles was a lot of fun and lunch from the local family was delicious and prepared with love. I requested a vegetarian menu beforehand and it was no problem at all!
Thank you for an unforgettable day in the Mekong Delta, Helen!

Tommy was a good tour guide.
Boat rides were nice, lunch was good. Very little pressure to buy items at various stops, Beware it was very hot and drive was long (especially due to traffic on the way back)
