A must do - recommend for everyone - Absolutely fantastic! We all had a really fun time on the motorbikes and tuk tuk. Food was delicious, fresh and traditional. Amazing tour guide, very funny and engaging. My kids favourite part was either being on the motorbikes or going on a boat ride down the Mekong river. The treats during the day included homemade coconut candy (a must have) and the sugar cane kumquat. Overall lots of fun and you must do this when you visit Vietnam!

A must do tour!! Away from tourists!!! - We just had the most amazing day touring the Mekong Delta area with Phu Si as our guide. We were so lucky to have picked this tour as we got so much more than we realised. From the pick up and travel to the Mekong from Ho Chi Minh it was welcoming and we were well looked after. We had a tuk tuk tour of the area and Phu si made us all welcome and informed all the way. It was so wonderful to travel through the area away from tourists and see and interact with the locals. From riding in the tuk tuk on roads, paths and crossing on ferries, to traveling down the river on the boat to see the canals and areas not seen on a tourist tour, this was a great way to see the Mekong Delta! But I must mention the food. We were so well fed with fresh locally cooked meals throughout the day that we won't be needing dinner! We were able to sample local dishes. Make sure you try everything as you may miss out on something amazing. Make sure you have the sugarcane juice as it is so refreshing and just at the right time. I want to say thank you to Phu Si and our tuk tuk driver as you made our day and trip to the Mekong Delta area so unique and amazing for us.

Whats app contact right away and very much available to everything we needed. Thank you Chi!! You are amazing!

Amazing.. - We had a wonderful day. We were lucky to meet our guide An, very professional. She accompanied us to many small villages of the Mekong on scooters, life on the river was very beautiful and we were lucky to be alone, an exclusive trip. Everything was perfect, even the lunch organized for us

Amazing experience - We had visited Vietnam last year to Hanoi and had got reference of this company from them. Since the time we have been in touch with them, they have been absolutely professional, kind and helpful. They have taken care of every small detail including catering for halal food for one of our friend who was accompanying us. The tour itself was amazing, experienced the market the local food and customs and finally the boat cruise.. I highly recommend you to try this. In fact we thought not much to do in Jo chi Minh.. but this tour is a must do.. if you can drive a scooter it is even more fun.. which we did.. only one thing that traffic is too much on the way back so be prepared for probably 30 mins to an hour extra when return to the city. this though not in control of the company. The owner Mr dzung is amazing along with the driver Mr dong. Our tour guide Ben and An Nguyen. We also did the chu chi tour with them and this was also amazing..

Perfect, super local Mekong experience - The Mekong ZigZag Tour was perfect, especially thanks to our guide, An, who created an exceptional experience. An was incredibly attentive to our needs and ensured that everything went smoothly throughout the tour. I was initially concerned about encountering too many tourists in the Mekong Delta, but this tour provided a truly local experience with not a single tourist in sight. We were immersed in the authentic rural life of the area, with many special events arranged throughout the day. The meals were satisfying, and both An and the driver provided a safe and comfortable journey. Given that it was a full-day tour, appropriate rest breaks were also ensured. This was an excellent opportunity to experience local life. I highly recommend it and would love to travel with An again.

EXCEPTIONAL tour - We found this tour almost by chance, I must say that we couldn't have had a better time!! Exceptional tour, our guides An and Dominik accompanied us with enthusiasm showing us a truly real and authentic part of Vietnam: we tried to weave a mat, picked and opened a coconut, made our own brown sugar juice, visited the places where coconut is processed, all on a scooter crossing places that don't seem real, they are so beautiful. To end the day, a splendid boat trip on the Mekong Delta immersed in nature and silence, far from the hustle and bustle of the city and tourist destinations. Probably the best tour ever done, very good!!

Amazing time - Wow what a great adventure! After a long car ride we arrived on the Delta and was greeted by An, who was ready with coconuts to drink. After that we rode scooters to a local house while enjoying the beautiful scenery. We then visited a homestay where we had a delicious lunch and had a nap in hammocks. The day ended with a long sailboat ride on the Delta while enjoying water coconuts. Not touristy at all, was nice and relaxing.

Incredible, authentic experience - I had the pleasure of doing a tour with An one very hot April day! The pick up was seamless and comfortable (despite being stuck in a bit of traffic due to it being the start of a national Vietnamese holiday period). But the highlight was An’s local knowledge and the fact that we went off the beaten path to see the real Mekong, exploring the beautiful Ben Tre province. Instead of feeling like a tourist with a guide, it was like I was being shown local life by a dear friend. Zipping around the different towns and islands by scooter was also such a cool experience and the boat ride was amazing and tranquil without any crowds! I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real Vietnam and not just be a number in one of the standard tours. Thank you An - I hope to see you again soon!
