Reviews summarySuper nice trip! Unfortunately, it rained the whole time after visiting the temple, but that didn't affect the tour at all :) we all bought a rain cape and continued: D Our tour guide Gin was super friendly, funny and shared a lot of knowledge with us. The boat tours were very special. Our highlight was a small bike tour before the very delicious lunch. The price-performance ratio is simply top notch 👍🏻
It was a wonderful Mekong Delta trip with Tom. I learnt many experiences from him. Tom is a great tour guide with knowledge, passion and brought to us good energy during the tour. We, just know each other today but stayed close and had fun together. He took care each of us and made sure everyone satisfied and enjoyed time. Hi Tom, this is a great chance to meet you today. Keep going and you will go far away. Stay well and healthy.
Our tour guide Anna was a pleasant girl. She speaks clear English. They will pick the guests up from their respective hotels. We were the first ones to be fetched by them. The tour guide was very punctual. By 730, the tour guide was already at the lobby waiting for us. She asked the reception to call us. Then, the bus will drive around to nearby hotels to fetch other guests. The journey to My Tho was roughly 1 hour 20 minutes. We reached our first destination at around 10AM which was a temple. Then, we proceeded to the Boat terminal to board a big boat to reach an island. The first stop was to have tea and some local fruits while some local girls performed a singing performance to us. Then, we proceeded to take a sampan boat ride through the narrow Mekong river path where our big boat was waiting for us. Each boat can carry 4 passengers. Then, we headed to a coconut candy factory to learn the process of making coconut candy. Lastly, we had lunch at a nearby restaurant and left at 2.
The Tour is very touristic but we had a good female guide who provided a few interesting explanations. You go through some factories, people are not specially welcoming as they are in the North of Vietnam. I would recommend if you want to go out of the city and have time, however it's not a must do.
We were on the day tour to the Mekong delta incl. traditional boat ride, coconut candy factory, and many more. Beautiful views, friendly people and interesting cultural experiance. Very good organization. Our guide Jerry was very energetic and helpful. She shared a lot of interesting information and made this trip a truly great experience. Thank you!
I just returned from a phenomenal Mekong Delta tour with Nikki, and she was exceptional in every way: · Expert Knowledge: Nikki's understanding of the delta's history, agriculture, and people was impressive. She made every stop interesting. · Engaging & Fun: Her storytelling and sense of humor kept the entire group engaged and entertained throughout the day. · Fluent English: Communication was effortless, and she was able to explain complex topics clearly. · Caring & Attentive: Nikki constantly checked in on our group, ensured our safety, especially some needed help getting into the boat/sampan and went the extra mile to make our experience personal and memorable. The trip was well planned and on time punctual. The lunch was excellent as well! In short, Nikki is the reason this tour was so memorable. She is a world-class guide!
