Mekong Delta Private VIP Tour

Did the Mekong Delta Ben Tre tour with Hannah. As she grew up near this area she was awesome at guiding us around and giving us the history. Great food, great boat trips, beautiful local crafts & lovely people.

Definitely worth booking the private tour. Our guide Xuyen was excellent, very friendly and informative. The whole tour was well organised and everywhere was really quiet and peaceful. We visited places demonstrating local industry and although there were options to buy things there was never any pressure. It was great to learn how all parts of the coconut trees are used and nothing wasted. Lunch was good at a lovely riverside restaurant.

Had a very interesting tour. Our guide Xuyen was very friendly and informative, she looked after us very well and was happy to answer questions. We learned a lot about the local industries stemming from growing coconuts. It was good to be away from the crowds and nowhere were we being pressured into buying things. It was a most relaxing enjoyable trip with a great tour guide. Definitely worth taking a private tour despite the cost.

It was a very nice experience. We were a family of 3 and Emily was very patient, knowledgeable. The ride was also very comfortable. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a less touristy all day experience in HCM.

We left Ho Chi Minh City quite early to reach Bến Tre. Two and a half hours of driving that I didn't even notice pass by! Our guide made the trip particularly pleasant by telling us the history of Vietnam and giving us a lot of information about the regions we were passing through. A real moment of exchange that already promised a very beautiful day. We made a first stop to discover a small local industry centered around the trade of silk, bamboo, and coconut. An interesting visit, even if you still have to be wary of the prices offered on-site... That is also part of the tourist experience! We then quickly arrived at our meeting point in Bến Tre, in the heart of the Mekong Delta. We started by discovering a brick factory. Unfortunately, no one was working that day, so we were not able to witness their manufacturing. Just before, we had been able to observe the work around the coconut and the way the Vietnamese remove its thick husk. Then, time for some sweetness and discovery: we took a small boat to go taste fruits and various specialties made from coconut. We then took the boat again before getting on our bikes for a short ride to the lunch spot. And what a pleasant surprise! There were very few tourists, the bike ride was really welcome, and we passed through a peaceful and green environment. The lunch was delicious and the setting absolutely charming: a stop in the middle of a real forest of coconut, banana, and mango trees. Our guide, once again, explained everything to us in great detail. I really liked his knowledge of the region, the history, and the traditions. I must also emphasize how wonderful our guide was throughout this day. Always smiling, generous with his explanations, and very experienced, he gladly shares his experiences and knowledge. You can talk with him about many subjects, and that makes the experience even richer and more authentic. We ended this beautiful day with one last short boat ride, a little too short for my taste... but probably because I simply felt very good there! Then we left the calm and lush vegetation of Bến Tre to return to the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City. A very beautiful day, rich in discoveries, encounters, and landscapes. Very sincerely thank you to our guide, whom I highly recommend!
