Great tour! Value for money! - Absolutely loved this trip! The group I was with was Vietnamese (nobody spoke much English) but we all got along so well and I had the best time! The food was amazing, the activities were fantastic (loved seeing the floating village and market and the various stops we made throughout the tour were ones that would be almost impossible to get to alone) and the hotels were beautiful and comfortable. Could not fault this tour. It was such great value and I felt like I did so much of southern Vietnam in just a few days. The tour guide was lovely and I just had a ball.

Mekong tríp - I was surprised by the dedication and professionalism of the company, especially with a little girl named Alison. I will come back to SST when I have a chance!

Nice excursion - The trip is very well organized. The guide was super helpful with us in reserving our bus to go to our next destination. The day at My Tho/Ben Tre was very pleasant. In Chau Doc, I would have liked to spend more time in Tra Su Forest. As for the floating market in Can Tho, very disappointing as well as My Khan Village. The meals were something, always a variety of dishes to share. However, you have to like fish and seafood because that’s mainly what it is. There is a lot of travel.

Varied and interesting circuit which deserves more nature - 3 very interesting days with a guide who likes to share his culture and who introduced us to the life and work of the locals
The tour deserves more nature and fewer temples and pagodas.
I would have liked to do more boat tours.

A complete rip off - go on any other tour - What a rip off. We booked this 6 weeks in advance and heard nothing. On clicking through several websites we eventually found a working phone number for SST travel only to be asked to WhatsApp them. Once we WhatsApp’d them they responded that the guide would contact us 2 days before the tour. Having heard nothing and our tour due to start the following day, we contacted SST travel again.
Firstly they said that the tour itinerary had changed ( which caused us an issue as we had booked the tour given that it finished in Chau Doc before returning to Ho Chi Minh- we were going to finish the tour there). This meant an additional cost to transfer back to Chau Doc. Secondly, the price increased by 30 percent And the final nail in the coffin was when they said that the tour size had changed from a maximum of 10 people to 30 plus!
We will avoid anything that uses SST travel again.
Also worth noting that this was booked through Tripadvisor who then use their sister company Viatour to book the tours. Viatour were impossible to get hold of- we won’t be using them again
