Great new experience, great guide! - The views were really beautiful, and it was all very calming. The tour guide Tan was incredible! He was so lively, and made the whole experience that much more exciting. He’s very informative, and an amazing storyteller too. Never got bored once. Would definitely recommend!

Saturday on the Mekong Delta from HO chi Minh City - Met as arranged at the Opera House as agreed. (Only a short walk for us). Richard met us and took us another two young ladies to the bus. Took a long journey (under the 2.5hrs) to the embarkation point on the Mekong Delta. Jumped on a long boat and motored across the river. Walked a short distance and had some locally grown fruit, tea and some local Vietnamese music and songs (from locals). Then onto a Chocolate Cooperative and bee farm where we also got the opportunity to hold a python snake. Next was a coconut candy store - very interesting. In both of these places there were opportunities to buy such , if you wanted to (we didn’t ) After a full lunch with a locally caught fish and a wide variety of dishes we headed back through the network of canals on a local narrow boat holding just four of us. Then across the river in the first boat again and back to Ho Chi Min City. Call out to Richard who is a very informative guide. Provided a great narrative through the Delta and answered our questions full. Most importantly, we understood what he was saying.

Great and informative time - The Mekong delta tour was one of the best tours I’ve taken during my time in Vietnam. Ms.Mia was very informative and energetic during the tour and giving great insight into the Mekong and surrounding islands. I would highly recommend this tour.

A great day out ! - We very much enjoyed our trip to the Mekong Delta and associated islands with Zain as our guide. We picked up the tour at the Saigon Opera House and travelled by minibus to the Mekong with another couple. Zain outlined the plans for the day and spoke excellent English. We stopped off en route for refreshments before travelling to the Mekong to pick up our boat which took us to the first island. A group of locals gave a guitar and sang performance where we were treated to jasmine tea and fruit. Then we visited a local honey cottage industry producing honey and related products including Royal Jelly. Next a boat trip to another island where they produced chocolate and coconut sweets also held a pet Python. Next lunch, which was excellent then a ride on a Tuc Tuc before another boat trip through the coconut grove before returning by boat back to the mainland with a coach drive back to our hotel. Zain provided a great commentary throughout, plenty of time to visit rest rooms and purchase gifts and souvenirs.

Fewer tourist traps and more authentic experiences please - This was an interesting day trip taking you out of Ho Chi Minh City and giving you a glimpse of rural life, but as with much of Vietnam, tourists are channelled into particular destinations and the same sorts of activities and it all starts to feel a bit like you’re the sausage in the sausage machine. Having said that, our guide Zayne was a delightful young man who shepherded us around with great care. Personally I thought he could have given us a bit more background information about the musical performance and perhaps given us some rough translations so we could understand better what the singers were singing. What I enjoyed most wasn’t the fruit farm or the honey farm (where we weren’t told much about the production, but rather pushed to buy bee-product cosmetics) or the coconut candy factory, but rather just running about on the boats soaking in the scenery of one of Asia’s great rivers.
