Additional Information
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 \

Informative, entertaining and beautiful! - From pick up to drop off, Jacky Hiểu was a wealth of knowledge and anecdotes. The tour was very well organised and all the transport from the bus to the boat ride and tuk tuk were all great! The paddle boat ride down the canals was beautiful! The authentic lunch was fun and a great taste of the flavours of Vietnam! Highly recommend a tour with Jacky Hiểu - he was energetic, answered all our questions and made everyone on the tour feel very welcome! Thank you!

Mekong River Delta Trip - Great trip, Jacky Hien was a great guide with a fantastic charismatic personality. He looked after us and kept us well fed. We enjoyed the whole day and the sights to see. Jack was a great singer even though he said he was very shy!

Nice Mekong trip - Our guide was very nice, her name was Hung, she explained much and fulfill all our wishes.
The group was only about 5 persons, which was very nice.
For uns the temple was the best to visit.
The Mekong delta with the stops to try food and do other Stoff, we don’t liked so much, it was not made for us, I would say.
I don’t like to see caged Krokodils and snakes who live in small cages but I know that many people want so see it. And it’s okay because the have to earn their money with this. We would love to do another tour with Huang.
