A great trip, well worth doing! - Katie from the office was incredibly helpful. She found this private tour for us to fit in with our cruise ship arrival. She corresponded with me in the UK, nothing was too much trouble.
James, our tour guide was great, watsapping the previous day to arrange pickup place and time. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a private, comfortable car and felt very safe . We saw everything mentioned in the description and had a good lunch. Great day.

Would definitely 10/10 recommend this day trip (Ho Chi Minh - Mekong Delta), especially with Slim Jim as your guide!! He’s got some stories and always a smile to share!

Nice day tour - We had a very great tour guide - Slim Jim. He was funny, personable and very knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam. We took the two hour drive from the city and along the way he pointed out rice fields, different rivers and gave us lots of information.

Well organized trip to Mekong Delta - Our guide James, was full of enthusiasm and information about Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. He was able to answer lots of questions. The trip was well organized. As our trip was booked by a travel agent we did not know that no beverages were included in the cost. Just bring cash with you. It’s about $1-$1.25 USD per beverage.
More… as vegetarians we were served tofu which was prepared four different ways! All delicious!

Cultural experience at the Mekong delta - It is our first visit to Vietnam. We landed in Ho Chi Minh and the tour agency managed our tour very well indeed. We appreciate the great care and effort that Manh, our young and energetic tour guide took to make our tour comfortable and worthwhile. His English is very good and with a background in Vietnamese culture & history study, Manh is the right person to lead first time travellers like us. He is sensitive and professional. He goes the extra mile to make sure there is a respectful cultural cross sharing between us the visitors and the local people we meet at the select locations during our tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour to the Mekong Delta and our kids will treasure their experience always. Apart from the cultural experience we also enjoyed the boat cruise and dinner and the city tour that Manh arranged yesterday. We wish him the very best ahead. We pray that he always upholds his wonderful family values in his professional career.

Awesome day trip - Amazing Day Trip to the Floating Markets!
We had an unforgettable day trip that started with an early 4 AM pick-up from our hotel. The 3.5-hour journey to the floating markets was comfortable and smooth, thanks to Lam, our incredibly safe and skilled driver. My mum and I were so relaxed, we both ended up sleeping for much of the drive!
Once we arrived, we had an incredible time exploring the floating markets and local markets. We were fascinated by the way the locals live and how they go about their daily business. Our guide, Mahn, was fantastic—he kept us entertained and engaged throughout the day. Not only did he share so much insightful information about the places we visited, but he also taught us the Vietnam football song, which added a fun touch to the experience.
We even got the chance to participate in making our own lunch, which was a delicious and memorable experience. Mahn kept the energy high, taking lots of photos and videos for us to remember the day.
Overall, this was a 5+ star experience, and we can’t thank Lam and Mahn enough for making this trip so special. Highly recommend.
