100% recommend!

My partner and I had the most incredible time on this excursion! Our guide Vinh was friendly, informative and brilliant at his job :) It was definitely one of the highlights during our time in Vietnam. Fantastic value for money too!

The floating market is...

The floating market is hardly that just a few boats here and there. The only thing great about the trip was Linda our guide. She was full of enthusiasm and gave us a lot of information on the culture and traditions which was the only thing that made it worthwhile

Tour was amazing! Food,...

Tour was amazing! Food, sites, people and did I mention food. Got a little bit of everything. But what made the experience exceptional was our tour guide Bac. If you book this tour ask for Bac!

Great trip; needs 2 days

The Mekong delta and the floating market were the highlights, but the smalll moments (temple, ancient house, pineapple tasting) are the ones we will remember for sure. The trip needs the 2 days, overnight stay was well arranged in a 4 star hotel.
