Great day out - A great day out - so many activities, from cycling and kayaking to listening to traditional singers and seeing how coconuts and honey are used! Cannot recommend this tour any more - and our tour guide Jack was incredibly helpful and very informative.

Great half day adventure! - The tour was great. Everyone had a great time cooking, biking and exploring the countryside. The boat ride in the Mekong River to the coconut farm was fun too. The pagoda was beautiful. Dennis our tour guide was fantastic! Informative, friendly, patient and was our photographer for the day...lol! He was wonderful. This tour is a must do. Only wish it wasn't that hot!

A must do tour if you are in Ho Chi Minh City - Great tour of the Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh City surroundings. Son was a great guide with a lot of knowledge and very good English. We really appreciate the tour, which is very diversive with a lot of fun things. Just to mention a few: riding a bike in the countryside, cooking spring rolls, fantastic lunch, visiting a beautiful Pagoda, traversing across the Mekong River and visiting a bee farm as well as coconut factory.
We got to learn a lot about the Vietnamese culture, food and history and we really appreciate Son's knowledge in all these areas.
Also the drive from and back to Ho Chi Minh City felt very safe in a nice car with air conditioning.
All-in-all the tour was all we could wish for and recommend everyone to do it.

Son was a Fabulous Guide! Excellent Tour! Highly Recommend! - Fantastic Tour! Our guide, Son, was enthusiastic, engaging and spoke excellent English. He knew just when strike up conversation and when to let us rest. It was a long day and my husband was feeling quite ill for most of it. Son was very attentive to his needs while still making sure we got the most of our time. Saw and learned so much in just one day. Excellent Tour! Highly Recommend!

HCMC TOUR GOOD EXPERIENCE - Dennis the tour guide was brilliant. We found the tour was a great experience of HCMC. Just be aware that there is a minimum of 4 hours in the car back and forward to hotel: we enjoyed the experience and would recommend. The driver was also very safety conscious/conservative

Interesting activities for first time visiting HCM - Our guide for the day was Milo, promising young man who speaks fluent english. Me n hubby have been to hcm for several times but tis round another 8 frens joined us and was their first visit to hcm. All of them enjoyed the trip very much from the experience of Cu Chi tunnels to the boat rowing along the canals. Everything was well arranged and taken care of from the time we step out of hotel to the time we arrived back safely. Lunch was good in a simple farmstay house too. Will definitely engage them again if we were to visit Vietnam again . Thanks Team! Cheers!

Tourist trap - The tour experience left much to be desired. Initially, they were an hour and a half late, causing a frustrating delay. Additionally, the tour guide's communication was unclear, making it difficult to fully grasp the information.
Despite claiming not to be touristy, the tour felt more like a restaurant with bicycle service, deviating from its original appeal (private family garden).
The Mekong Delta segment proved to be a disappointment, it was a tourist trap. The relentless attempt to sell honey during a tea tasting, coupled with stops for cheap fruits and a lackluster traditional singing performance, felt forced and designed to extract tips.
The boat ride felt more like navigating through a theme park, with a queue of boats following a predictable route from point A to B.
Considering the price and time invested, the overall experience fell short and doesn't justify the cost or the time spent.
