Mekong delta authentic experience - What an incredible experience, a vast contrast to the hustle and bustle of Saigon. Our guide, Tom was terrific, very accommodating and knowledgeable. Ambling through the village and floating along the Mekong was a refreshing experience.

Alpha, Bravo, Mekong, Delta - Great tour, would highly recommend if you're looking to get out of the city. I can see exactly why they brand it as "less touristy" we weren't being pestered to buy things constantly and I've read many a review of other Mekong Delta tours where you are.

Culture, history, action, village life! - This was by far one of the best day tours I have done in the world! Amazing value - a full, action packed day with a fabulous driver and our amazing tour guide, Mickey. The tour provides a great view of Ho Chi Min city on the way, a great range of activities, delicious traditional lunch and a view into the culture and history of Vietnam. Our tour guide spoke very good English, was very knowledgeable and entertaining and shared his deep experience of the Southern Vietnamese culture willingly. I would highly recommend anyone travelling to, or through Ho Chi Min, to do this tour.

Great trip! - Was great being with a smaller group; felt more connected to all of them. The trip also felt a little less touristy, especially the rowboat section. Jenny was also a great host, who lifted the mood and you could ask anything. She even sent me pictures afterwards.

Great get away trip out of the city - This is a very chilled yet fun day to see the rural side of Vietnam living on the Mekong Delta. Our guide Tom has been very enthusiastic and informative. You will learn alot from him understanding how vital the Mekong River is to Vietnam and its food security. Perhaps the best part of it all was the small tour group - there were only 4 of us. It's almost seems like a personal tour and no crowds of tourists at all.

Great Time - My partner and I went on a whim, and it was fantastic! Safa, our tour guide, was knowledgeable, engaging and had an upbeat attitude. It was cool to learn the history of the brick factory and see how coconut candy is made. We did get rained on but it didn’t deter us from continuing. I’m very glad to have discover Joy Journeys! The entire team was kind and a delight to converse with. I’ll be checking out there other offers. If you’re unsure which tour group you want to go with, I can recommend sticking with Joy Journeys!
