Super motorcycle tour of the Mekong Delta with fantastic food! - An amazing motorcycle tour of the delta with locals who really know the area. Zee and Linh were super hosts who made us feel so welcome in their environment. We saw a close up view of life in the delta and leaned very much of the history, environment and culture. Seamless transport to and from Ho Chi Minh City, a long day but worth every minute!

Authentic and local! - Really wonderful time exploring Mekong Delta - our guide went out of his way to make sure our experience was authentic and hospitable. He delivered! We ate food we never would have discovered and ate with locals, and his family prepared an amazing lunch for our group. Plus it was full of adventure! Lots of motorbiking and boating. If you want an experience that feels authentic and local, book this!

Amazing relaxing trip through nature by boat & motorbike - A tour for anyone who likes to escape the trouble of the city, even perfect to wind down on a flight stopover. I've got picked up by tour guide Phu Si from the airport, who accompanied me for the whole day. We drove out of town so I could enjoy the beautiful countryside and the Mekong arms from a rural boat, the ferry & on the back of the motorbike. I always got looked after, with amazing homemade food, drinks and even little treats from their own factory. I felt save and welcome at anytime. The communication with Mekong Zigzag was super quick & easy. 10/10 would do again 🤗

Authentic experience! - Even though I was part of the first group to have this trip, back in May 2023, our guide, Zee, took the time and organized this perfectly. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting a real Vietnamese experience. I really enjoyed the motorbike ride, the location we paused for lunch (and the so many things we tasted there) but most of all the warmth and hospitality pf the people.

Great immersive and authentic tour - We love that super immersive experience. Especially the motorbike part where you drive inside Ben Tre area and get an authentic taste of Mekong Delta life. The food immersion was so much fun, testing delicious Bo Bon street food in Ben Tre; we couldn’t feel more locals. Si’s team is super nice. We strongly recommend this great immersive experience in Mekong Delta.

Amazing non touristy experience! - Where to begin! We started our day early with a comfortable and pleasant drive to Ben Tre with a rest stop along the way for a snack. We met our guide who had organised motorbikes and a Tuktuk so our small children (5,7 yr) would be comfortable if it rained. We rode all over Ben Tre taking a ferry and boat across the Mekong and had a look at the fish traps, stopped for Sugarcane juice where my children enjoyed playing with some puppies. We rode though the coconut forest and the host generously brought us to his home where his family had made a delicious lunch. We made our own coconut lollies and slept in the hammocks and our children played happily with the guides daughter, then were taken on a rowboat along the Mekong. We finished with an amazing coconut coffee with homegrown coconuts then the children exchanged small gifts and we were delivered safely back to our hotel with memories to last a lifetime! Thank you, thank you, thankyou from The Katsavos Family
