Mekong is the life blood of Vietnam. The mighty river is one of the longest in the world. Along with its intricate network of snaking rivers, streams and canals, it is like the veins of the human body. They carry people and goods. They feed the fertile lands that make it possible for Vietnam to grow the immense amounts of agricultural produce necessary to feed millions and sustain life in Vietnam.
No visit to Vietnam would be complete without experiencing Mekong and this special tour is unique because you get to see the countryside by van, the mighty river and islands by boat, and cycle deeper into the jungle where travel by vehicle would be very challenging or impossible. This tour takes you off the beaten path to meet locals and learn about their \

Christmas biking the Vietnamese countryside was a joy - What a phenomenal experience during one of the tourist high seasons. After galavanting around HCMC for two days and doing some general tours to other amazing sites, I wanted something different and this trip delivered. The morning was catered to my wish to be picked up earlier to beat some of the traffic, and my guide Kate was prompt and knowledgeable about all things Vietnam. The bike tour was a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of the city and other group tours of the Mekong delta. For 2+ hours we biked through villages and didn’t see a single tourist the entire way. You stop occasionally for a snack or to see a cool temple, and to have lunch - all with locals. You are taken care of the entire way with a friendly local who provides a multi-speed bike and guides you at your pace through these country roads. You rejoin the tourists for the afternoon, but again Kate was great at getting us ahead of larger crowds so we could enjoy some peace in the boats. Try the snake wine! You know you want to…
Start to finish, they took care of me and I felt a part of the group. Great car conversations and talks about Vietnamese history, business, and culture. Loved this excursion and it was worth the price.

Amazing tour guide, amazing experience - Whenever you book a tour, you’re hoping to get a great tour guide and you’re also hoping to get a good experience. This tour met both expectations perfectly. First, my guide Hung was very easy to reach and replied quick to messages. I was able to arrange getting picked up at a nearby address, next to my hotel at the last minute. Hung is also a very knowledgable tour guide, who knows how to give you interesting facts and insight about Vietnam during the whole ride and during the trip itself. She will teach you a lot about Vietnamese history, their way of life, and will give you good information about everything you see and taste during the tour. Finally, she has a good level of english and she is easily understandable.
The tour itself was also great. The boat ride on the Mekong river is an interesting experience and I got to taste all sorts of local fruits, candies and drinks that I had never tasted anywhere else, and the food during lunch was decent. I promise you’ll get your fill. I am someone who eats a lot and I couldn’t finish everything that was offered at the table. We finished the tour in a Buddhist temple. I am not a big fan of temples, but Hung managed to make it interesting by revealing many facts about the temple and buddhism.
Overall a great experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh!

Leon was the best tour guide. - Leon was a delightful, friendly, well informed professional. His English was excellent and his commentary enriched our tours from both cultural and historical perspectives. My wife and I recommend him as a guide to any and all tourists without qualification.

Always happy to. - Great trip. We had booked a private tour with a total of 4 people. Super organized, from hotel pickup to finish. Great impressions of a beautiful landscape. Delicious lunch and snake liquor tasting. Plus our wonderful guide Linda, who told us very competently and warmly many details about the country and people. Even a visit to the silk factory followed by shopping was a super experience thanks to the friendly and humorous staff. All in all an absolutely recommended excursion.

Linda the best Travelguide ever - Our trip to the Mekong Delta was an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking scenery, the small waterways and the lively hustle and bustle offered fascinating insights into life on the river. Our tour guide Linda was particularly outstanding: With her knowledge and warm manner she made the tour not only informative, but also very personal. Thanks to Linda we felt completely comfortable and could enjoy the trip to the fullest. Highly recommended!
