This tour was one of the highlights of my three country vacation. This tour was outstanding. It provided really great insight into the importance of this river to Vietnam and the lives who live there. I was a little apprehensive as I get motion sickeness easily, but a little dramamine and those wrist bands worked. No problem. The tour guide, drivers (car and boat) were all excellent.
Efficient service, especially as they had such a long wait for us to get through the very slow visa process.
The tour was great and our guide was outstanding. He was very knowledgable and personable and spoke English GREAT.
Excellent guide, excellent driver, excellent trip. I can strongly recommend it.
My family thoroughly enjoyed the private tour of the Mekong River Cruise. The tour guide was extremely friendly and imformative throughout the whole of the experience and also spoke very good english. The journey from Ho Chi Minh City was fairly long but the car was cool and comfortable which made it easier. On arrival at the Mekong Delta we were guided to our personal boat and were shown the floating market and houses along the river, it was humbling to see how the families lived there. we were given fresh local fruits to eat and coconut milk to drink during te boat ride. We were then taken to an island to meet some locals and see coconut candy, popping rice and other stuff being made the locals were very friendly and didnt mind us taking photographs of the experience we also got to try the different types of candy and drank jasmin tea. The boat then took us to a smaller paddle boat and we were taken down a quieter part of river and on to a local place to eat where we had a feast of 6 courses including delicious elephant ear fish. After lunch our tour guide took us for a walk in the orchard where we were shown all of the wonderful fruits growing. Finally we were taken back to our boat and on to dry land to head back to Ho Chi Minh City. So far this has been the highlight of our trip and we would definately reccomend.
What a fantastic experience: everything was really well organized and the guide was very good !
Best tour in Ho Chi Minh city. Highly recommended for content, excellent tour guide who spoke perfect English. And the people in the village we went too very friendly . The visits made to the fruit farm and cottage industries very very good...unforgettable experience
our tour guide is very professional and discuss a lot of things about the mekong river and saigon in general. answers our question very well. and was very felxible to give in to our request,
The guide was on time. Explanations of the schedule for the trip were clear. I was looked after at every minute. What I paid for I got and more. Definitely do this again in HCM City.
Brilliant trip! Worth every penny. Our guide was very helpful, full of information, a sheer please to speak to. The trip included a meal which was very good, we had elephant fish and giant prawns.
Our guides were excellent, and the stops we made on the river were so interesting.
Great day on the Mekong River with interesting stops to watch the manufacturing of rice popcorn, rice paper and coconut lollies; to listen to traditional Vietnamese music; and to have a fantastic lunch!
Everything is planned really well!!! There is so much to see and it is explained. Good English. Highly recommended.
We had a fantastic day. Our tour guide was just wonderful. His English was great, and he just talked and talked about everything. I would highly recommend this tour. Saigon is not the prettiest city, but getting out of the hustle and bustle is the only way to really enjoy it. The elephant ear fish lunch was so delicious.
We had a great tour guide and driver. The private tour was so much better than being with a bus load of tourists!
