What an incredible day out! Phoc our guide was fantastic! Loved the trip to the big Buddha & temple. The coconut village was awesome & sampling snake bite & local delicacy honey tea. The Sampan ride was the highlight and the lunch was delicious. Such a great value for money day trip out of HCM.
This tour was really great! Nelson, our tour guide, was very friendly and accommodating. He explained everything clearly from the beginning of the tour until the end and took great care of us throughout the day. The places we visited were amazing, and we truly enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommended!
This was a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh and explore. Fantastic value for money (NZD) where you get feed fresh fruit, fresh local produce and experience a small part of how the people there live. It was easy to book online, great communication from the tour operators via WhatsAp who spoke good English and was quite knowledgeable about the areas. Binh was our guide for the day, e mihi ana Binh! Would totally recommend.
I had so much fun in this tour! Our guide, Sunny, was very helpful and friendly. She made sure we are well taken care of and we also learned a lot from her about the Mekong Delta and its people. We also did not go hungry throughout the trip as there are plenty of snacks at each stop and lunch was scrumptious! The Vinh Trung pagoda and the boat ride through the lagoon were big highlights of the trip. We were also given coconuts on the ferry back, and bananas and cold tissue were provided in the far to refresh ourselves. 10/10 would recommend!
Our guide, Viet, was a jolly person who spoke very well and took care of us. He captured photographs for us and made the long journey very enjoyable and relaxing. He always explained the reasons behind every event and spoke about the culture of the people living on the island. He detailed why five different types of fruits are placed on a plate, how they mix crops, and how this has happened, resulting in increased yield. All of these points were very nicely and beautifully explained by Viet. That is why a person like him could survive in such a competitive and repetitive industry, doing things for more than 22 years. The patience and adaptability skills he possesses are unbelievable. The food was excellent and it was very nicely served to us. Finally, we visited the temple or pagoda of the Laughing Buddha. It was really a wonderful experience in spite of the heat. Strongly recommended for people who want privacy and pleasure. Thank you Viet.
Overall, I am satisfied with having done things that were difficult to experience. We were picked up because the hotel was located in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City. There were 5 of us, and 2 teams of 2 each participated in the tour. The vehicle was a VIP bus that could accommodate about 12 people, and the driver's driving skills were excellent. After driving for about 1 hour and 40 to 50 minutes, we arrived at Mito City. First, before arriving in the Mekong Delta, we toured a temple called Binh Trang Pagoda for about 30 minutes, then moved to the dock and boarded a boat. Each tour group was assigned one boat. We enjoyed fruit and a performance at the first stop, walked to a bee farm, and took several boats to go back and forth between islands. The last plan was to have a light meal at a restaurant and then return. The meal was to end at 13:40, but it rained heavily, so after about 30 minutes the rain subsided and we returned to the pier where we started. The driver waiting at the dock gave us water, drinks, and fruit. The car left around 14:40 and headed to Ho Chi Minh City, and the return trip took about 2 hours due to traffic jam. It wasn't a huge experience, but it was a chance to get a glimpse into local life.
just want to say a big thank you to Bo Han, Mr Hao and driver Buddha for making this two so fun and enjoyable. Bo han and hao were fun and helpful throughout the whole tour, especially for a large group like ours. Their ability to speak in English also makes the tour much easier for us. Overall, a very good experience, I would definitely recommend people to attend.
If you want a hassle-free adventure, book this all inclusive package tour. Nick from Vietnam Adventure Tours is very entertaining, knowledgeable and helpful all throughout the trip. He is an amazing tour guide and be ready to hear him sing in different languages. Food were great and all the people we got to interact with. Säigön’s culture is rich and I will definitely come back and explore more of Vietnam’s astonishing cities/provinces.
Thank you to my guide Vinh for making this trip even more wonderful. In addition to providing detailed introductions to various attractions, there were also engaging interactions and thorough answers to questions. During the journey, I experienced traditional folk songs, dances, and local specialty foods. It was an unforgettable experience. Next time, be sure to choose Klook's Mekong Delta VIP tour!
This tour was our favorite experience in Vietnam. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment, despite my initial panic when I encountered the bees. We were reassured that these bees don't sting, though they do buzz around and might even crawl into the honey tea they prepare for you. Nevertheless, the tea was delicious! The tour cost included most activities, but there were optional purchases available, such as items from the temple, a refreshing coconut drink, honey, and beverages with the meal. Additionally, they were very accommodating of my friend's vegetarian diet.
