Exceptional tour with many highlights - A unique and truly authentic tour through the Mekong Delta. The tour was perfectly organized: the schedule was adhered to and we could sit back and relax and enjoy. The different means of transport (car with the courteous driver "Mr. Joe", scooter, tuk-tuk, boat...) worked perfectly together and we felt very safe at all times! You spend a lot of time in the car, but the distances are also great and you get to remote corners. We had two extraordinary days - without the tour we would probably never have come to these places. Our tour guide Đức was super nice and explained everything to us, answered every question and anticipated every wish!
We recommend this tour to anyone interested in a special experience in the Mekong Delta. And importantly: Unlike cheaper tours, this really wasn't a sales event and we didn't see any other tourists on the first day - it's really worth the money.

Great Tour - The trip was really great. We booked it very spontaneous, but the team found a way to arrange the tour for us. Our guide Ms Duyen was great, she was very motivated to show us the Mekong Delta and had a lot of knowledge about the area. We had the best meal of our whole Vietnam trip on the first day and had a chance to visit the rural areas far from tourism. The boat trip on the second day led us to two floating markets, where we had time to enjoy the sunrise on our own private boat. The other stops were also worth the time. Finally, special thanks also to Mr Nam, our driver who took care of us all the time, we felt safe every second. In total, we highly recommend this tour. Thank you very much for the experience!

Great tour! - We had a lovely couple of days exploring the Mekong Delta. Our guide Đức was super knowledgeable and fun- and everything was seamlessly well-planned, from motorbike to boat rides. It was impressive that we didn’t encounter large groups of tourists through much of the tour. I enjoyed the rural aspects the most, like the dragonfruit farm, lunch and boat ride/walk along Tortoise Island. Can Tho was a surprisingly large city, but it was interesting to see some of the more industrialized, agriculture towns along the way. It is a lot of driving, as Can Tho is over 3 hours from Saigon, but seeing the floating market was a priority for me. I thought it was great value for the price. This tour company was recommended to me by friends - and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others as well.

A beautiful day with Hien - We decided to spontaneously do a Mekong delta tour and stumbled upon The Real Mekong Delta private tours.
It was an amazing day of out of the ordinary tour.
Hien picked us up at 8am and brought us back at 6 pm.
We were well taken care of, did a very non touristic tour and experienced personal insights to the Mekong delta.
Hien and his partner was amazing and the highlight was going thru the villages and getting to meet the locals. We ate dragon fruit directly plucked from a tree and it was the tastiest ever!
If you want an original day with unforgettable experiences, get in touch with Hien.
Thanks my Saigon friend, you made our trip an amazing one!

Definitely off the beaten track but expensive - Excellent tour. Really did get off the beaten track. All parts of the itinerary were great .Visit to local market and the early morning visit to floating markets , floating along the Mekong were highlights, along with an amazing lunch at the homestay. Very knowledgable guide and good to have a night in Can Tho.
Hotel at Can Tho was adequate but rather tired. The tour involved a lot of time in a car in order to get as far as Can Tho and the floating markets.
By far the most expensive tour during our 3 1/2 weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia.
