10/10 would recommend - This was so worth it! It was awesome to see smaller villages and see how some of the people there live. It was also great to do things besides float down the river. But mostly it was wonderful to not be completely swarmed by tourists. The guides were fantastic. We had such a good time and really enjoyed the scooter rides and food.

Happy in Ben Tre - It was a well done tour from start to finish which we can highly recommend. Chie our tour guide was really very accommodating, she and another rider were great. We never had an uncertain feeling. The boat tour was really exceptional, the homestay where we could pack our own candies, very nicely located in nature. The subsequent Local Food Tour was the icing on the cake. We would recommend this tour wish you dear team all the best for the future. As they say, you always win twice in your life.....until then stay healthy.

Personal and close to country and people - I decided spontaneously to change the itinerary via Ben Tre and to go on tour with Chi. It was one of the best I did in Vietnam. I was lucky and was the only one in the tour. CHI picked me up from the bus station directly with a tuktuk giving it from the city and the suburbs to the first destination of the canoe tour. The trip on a beautiful old sailing barge on the Mekong Canals was exactly what I wanted away from the typical tours. Relaxed enjoying nature. Just as personally as the tour started we went for lunch at their homestay. After the break, if you want to in the hammock, you can also try the in-house coconut candies. My favorite is cocoa. On the way to Coconutplatage and a coffee shop, Chi made me some wishes like trying Banh Bao, whipping Coconut Juice fresh myself and sugar soda from bamboo-like canes and Vietnamese pancake. The tour ends with a ride home to the hotel. I really enjoyed it and can only recommend the very personal tour.

Best experience in the Mekong Delta - I recommend 100% this tour! If you come to Ben Tre you must definitely book a tour with Mekong ZigZag. We got a glimpse of life in the Mekong Delta. We saw how coconuts are picked and used, how coconut candy is made, a delicious meal, a boat ride on one of the tributaries of the Mekong River and a delicious traditional street food meal! My mother and I are delighted with the day with An our guide ☺️

One day to discover - A very pleasant day with Chi my guide, she took me first on a very relaxing boat ride (typical) on the arms of the Mekong while explaining to me the way of life of the people here. Then we attended a small local music concert with fruit tasting in a chocolate factory. Then came lunchtime where I was able to taste various regional dishes. Discovery of a production of sweets made from local coconuts. Unfortunately the weather was capricious in the afternoon but we continued our walk through the city with the discovery of the local market (beware of the smells for the most sensitive 👃), typical dishes, coffee tasting and others ... Chi was really very patient, attentive and loves to transmit and explain the various customs and ways of life of her region. I recommend 100%

Felt like a good friend bringing me around their hometown - Chi was an incredible guide. She has an extremely welcoming and warm personality and will do her best to answer all your questions. Despite it being a "tour", it felt more like a good friend bringing me around their hometown. Chi brought me to many local spots including restaurants, markets, cafes, and small stores. The itinerary included a beautiful boat tour, a mat weaving house, their awesome family home (coconut candy, lunch, relax), then to a market, local coffee shop, local restaurant, local fruits, etc! Thanks Chi!

Perfect day - Great day with CHI, a very nice person with a lot of humor! She showed me around the plantations of the locals, with great meals. The family managing the guest house make you feel calm, serenity and tranquility (which is perfect after a ho chi minh visit). A boat ride taking you to discover the authentic mangrove. A tour of the city and the various local markets. In summary I recommend 100%!!!!

The BEST Mekong tour EVER - Oh my goodness. This tour and our wonderful amazing and perfect guide Chi is the absolute best. This is easily the best tour I’ve ever been on anywhere. Chi and her whole family were so welcoming. We truly felt like part of the family. The entire day was filled with surprise after surprise of the most amazing time. We loved this and we love Chi and her family! We spent the day riding mopeds around Mekong, drinking fresh sugarcane juice, riding the ferry, learning about mat weaving, going to Chi’s family’s house and learning about how they make their amazing coconut candy, they made us the most delicious and beautiful meal, we went on the Mekong river and road a boat and we are now absolutely in love with this place. Would absolutely recommend doing this trip. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We love you Chi!!

Private Mekong Delta Tour - We had a great time on the private tour. We were picked up on time. The car ride was quick. We had a blast riding the motor scooters through the towns and stopping by the beautiful homes throughout the Mekong Delta. The food and home stay were absolutely wonderful. The boat ride on the delta to cap it off with noone else around was the best. We look forward to coming again!
