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!

Fantastic experience thanks to An's kindness - The day with An has been incredible, a real experience. She is a perfect and very attentive guide. We booked the Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag tour and discovered that it is totally different from the rest of the tours offered through the Mekong Delta. Upon arrival from Ho Chi Minh by private car (since we were only two people), An and her assistant are waiting for you to take you on their motorbike to have a fresh coconut drink cut by yourself from the coconut tree. Then, there is a mini river trip (spectacular) in a totally different sailboat in which they take other groups of tourists. At the end it is time for the typical local meal (very varied and very tasty). Afterwards, she invites you to try the homemade sugar cane drink and Banh Xeo (savoury crepe filled with shrimp, bean sprouts, vegetables,… accompanied by a fish sauce). She explains a lot of interesting things at each stop. It was a good idea to have this tour with her. We will recommend it to all our friends to visit the Mekong Delta in a totally different way away from the tourist crowds.

Must-do unforgettable experience! - Being guided around the Mekong with Ann was a truly unforgettable experience. My partner and I selected the private tour which was perfect for us. We mentioned a few foods we’d like to try and Dzung the owner of the business had arranged everything, no detail was missed. Chatting with our guide Ann throughout the day was so insightful and enjoyable. We started the day with a stunning boat ride along the river and were treated to a freshly harvested water coconut. Following our boat ride we rode scooters to a sugarcane store and drank them whilst watching some Karoke. We were then treated to some coconut candy and were taught how they make it. We had a lovely home cooked local lunch which featured some delicious items from the market that we mentioned we’d like to try. For the afternoon we were allocated some down time before venturing to the local city to see the market and enjoy some street food. Could not recommend this tour more, it is a great way to see and enjoy the area and squeeze so much in a day, whilst also being allowed time to relax and soak it it. Dzung and his team are doing a wonderful service and you can tell Dzung has been working in tourism for a long time. If you want to see the Mekong area of Vietnam this is a must-do tour.

A lazy river spin - This trip is absolutely stunning. It doesn't have all of the tourists getting in the way. It's a nice way to spend a day learning about the heritage of the candy that the family makes and the trips up and down the river. The tuk-tuk was a touch bumpy, but I'd prefer it over a moped. All in all an excellent tour and Chi knows her stuff. I cannot recommend this team enough

Really nice day with An from ZigZag Tours - The tour with An was super exciting and informative. Everything was perfect from the pick-up to the boat tour to all the food stops. Since you are sitting on a moped as a passenger in the back, you can also watch everything in peace while riding. (alternatively you can also drive a moped yourself if you want). Since An speaks perfect English, there have been no communication problems. Fully recommended! Thanks An for the wonderful day!

Mekong Delta Day Tour - We had a wonderful day with An and her colleague. First a nice boat trip, then we went with the mopeds (as passengers) through the area - zigzag 😉- with nice stops including good food. Have a little nap in a hammock at lunchtime- What more could you want? Great holiday promotion, absolute Recommendation.

Best experience in Vietnam - The guide was very kind and professional. This is not a touristic tour, it’s perfect if you want to live a real, true experience. You can feel in first person how people live here, try local food, see how people do their job, and truly understand their lifestyle. 10/10 just because we can’t put more!

A fantastic unique trip in the Mekong Delta. - We had an amazing day. The organization was perfect! We discovered the surroundings of our rental in scooters driven carefully by An and Aï. The An Guide was very effective and very charming. We then sailed in junk on an arm of the Mekong: a fantastic landscape, water palms, floating plants. It was truly a unique experience to discover the Mekong Delta in these unique conditions. Thanks again to An, Lhin, Aï and his friend. 👍❤️🎥❤️❤️
