Ho Chi Minh: Cai Be Mekong Delta Authentic Non-Touristy Small Group

It was a great experience. Our tour guide is very enthusiastic. We love the boat ride, get to see the locals and their culture. Food was delicious. Kids love the bike ride after lunch. It was a fun day and not too busy or packed with tourists

Everything was as described in the itinerary. Our tour guide, Will, was punctual and informative. Our family had a great time and appreciate the small gestures. There was no pressure to buy anything at any of the places we went to.

We really enjoyed this tour which we choose mainly for the rice paper making. Originally booked as a small group but as no one else booked it, it turned into a private tour. we were well looked after by Sam and all our hosts. got to try making rice paper, snake wine, banana wine, coconut candy, puffed rice and see how these were all made. Delicious lunch which catered to me not eating fish or seafood. Toilets were clean and available in a regular basis. Drinks also readily available. The other unexpected bonus of a private tour was time - we were back in HCMC in time to visit a market before dinner. Would absolutely recommend.

This was a fantastic tour with guide Tibiet who was very friendly, informative and happy to help in any way he could. He spoke good English. I booked a big group tour as I am a solo traveller and liked to join with groups, however there were no other bookings for that day so I went in a private car. Initially I was a bit gutted but Tibiet was a great guide who made the experience fun. We took two boats, the first one was to transport us to the island, it was a great experience. Then the paddle boat ride was fantastic, it was a good amount of time, the lunch was delicious and there was a lot of food! We stopped off to see a historic house, had a walk around, we also saw demonstrations on how some locals made use of the mineral rich land. There wasnt too much pressure to buy things. After lunch we did a bike loop of the island, and then headed back to the mainland on the river boat and I was given a fresh coconut, which was a nice touch. The car trip back seemed shorter. Overall great value for money and a good day out of the city

Thanks to our guide Min, it was a very enjoyable tour! He was a very polite and kind man. We participated as a group of three, my mother and two children, but he took good care of our three-year-old child and carried our heavy luggage, so we were able to enjoy the tour comfortably and safely! The tour was also very fun, as we got to ride both a large ship and a small boat. It was a great experience to sample the local specialty products and medicinal liquor, and see the food production household. This is a tour I would recommend to everyone!

This tour was amazing, well worth the drive to get out here! our guide Andy was knowledgeable and thoughtful. We enjoyed each stop and did not find that the community members were forceful in any way to expect us to buy their products. We chose to support each small business and the money we spent was well worth the time they spent to engage with us! I would recommend doing this trip towards the end of your trip, the car drive and boat cruises are quite relaxing after a few days in the busy city.

This Mekong trip has broadened my knowledge about Vietnam, taking us along the Mekong River and introducing us to the unique traditions of the Mekong Delta. The tour guide was friendly and highly professional, making this trip incredibly enjoyable. I highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to experience the Mekong Delta.

It was a very good trip. The tour guides and drivers were very nice and the ride was very comfortable. We originally purchased a D-car plan, but due to insufficient number of people, the travel agency upgraded us to a private chartered car, boat, and restaurant tour. The crisis management mechanism is very good. The communication was good and we experienced a life that we had never experienced outside. Traditional production such as coconut sugar, popcorn, wine making, etc. It was very safe to ride the bamboo raft. The man who rocked the bamboo raft shook it by hand the whole time, which was very powerful👍

Experienced tour guide Tom made contact prior to the day and made sure we knew the meeting point as we were not in D1. Tom, you are a bubbly and enthusiastic guide who made sure all the members of our group were well looked after. Tom’s photo skills are 100%. Most exciting was the bike ride after lunch around the local area. It was ideal as the lunch cooked by the locals was homely cooking and so delicious especially the l fried fish fresh rolls. Thank you for this tour! See you again next time!

Pros: Our guide, Harry, was experienced and provided a smooth tour. We were able to efficiently visit many spots. The lunch was delicious. He gave us helpful information such as the perfect timing for each spot, no pressure to buy souvenirs, and that drinks were separate. The 10-seater car for the transfer from Ho Chi Minh City was also comfortable. Cons: The pickup was earlier than scheduled, so we had to wake up early. There was no cycling. Returning to Ho Chi Minh City was delayed by 1.5 hours due to traffic, so we had to change our later plans. Despite the drawbacks, I'm glad I participated.
