Although some activities are more centered on shopping than actually discovering the activity itself, the tour is worth it! Our guide Dana was super nice and approachable, she accompanied us along all the way and interacted with us. Keep in mind you’ll need some cash for tips along the tour!

My partner and I went on the Mekong Delta tour with Dana and driver Tom. We had an amazing time. We visited the giant Buddha statues, went on a boat trip to have some honey tea, coconut candy and then took a small boat ride by a local to have lunch. We saw snakes, tried fresh chocolate, had a beautiful lunch by the river. Dana was very interactive and lovely guide, very funny and good personality. She offered to take pictures for us and giving lots of information. Highly recommend this tour :)

This full day tour was fantastic. Big Dave was the tour leader and he made it a truly great day out. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Vietnam and we felt like we got a true glimpse of the village life for people living on the Mekong Delta. The experience from the pick up and drop off at our hotel was very smooth and professional. Highly recommend this tour and would suggest asking for Big Dave!

The Mekong tour was amazing thanks to our incredible guide Big Dave! He took us in all the nicest places and we never had crowds of people as he knows where to go. The tour is really interesting, we discover a lot of things and we tried the local food, which is really tasty. At the end of the tour he gave us 21 pages with restaurants and food recommendations. Needless to say, we tried 3 of the restaurants and they were the best ones we had in Ho Chi Minh. I really recommend this tour and Big Dave!

The Mekong tour was accurate to the description and it was a private small group tour, which was what i looked for. Big David, the tour guide, exceeded my expectations: not only he speaks perfect English, he has an awesome sense of humor in English! David is knowledgeable, answered my questions on history, and made recommendations on food and stores. I highly recommend taking Mekong delta tour with the agency and Big David!
