I did the Mekong Delta two days, one night tour with 'The Sinh Tourist' tour group. I bought my ticket the day before from the office on De Tham Street. I very much enjoyed my tour. We left early Saturday morning, and got back Sunday night. It was a full on two days tour, with lots to see and do.... More

Part of a 6 wk trip with husband and two children. We started in Vietnam and traveled via the Mekong into Cambodia. The mekong was amazing. We toured with Jason Superstar and he really did have it all well organised. We felt like we really were able to experience it as close to a local as you can be while... More

travelling on the Mekong Eyes, staying overnight, the only we wish we had of done is stay another night. Service excellent Staff excellent Food excellent Rooms excellent. The staff are a credit to the business. The young Houng who was our guide was terrific, with a very dry sense of humour. I'd like to go again. More

Travelling down from Ho Chi Minh City to the Delta was an adventure in itself. The delta area is known as the" Rice Basket of Vietnam" and the endless paddy fields of rice certainly bare out this claim. The mineral rich soils of the delta provide abundant yields and support 3 crops per year. As we cruised down the mighty... More

We had a wonderful time cruising the Mekong river for two days. The tour was organized by MinMaxTravel (Ms. Julia Pham) who did an excellent job in putting together a two week trip of Vietnam for us. Our guide for the Mekong part was Mr. Hai, a native from this area, who was very knowledgeable and passionate about showing us... More

This was our favorite part of our trip! Amazing. It was the two day-one night biking trip. It was me and husband and only two tour guides. We got to travel the back roads and see the real life of the mekong delta past the rice patties, the dragon fruit farms, fishing farm tours and crossing the rivers on boats... More

Our family of 5 booked a 3D/2N (private) tour with Come & Go Vietnam in August and it was a great way to get a good impression of the Delta. A variety of transport – minibus, boat, sampan, bicycle, motorised rickshaw, pony and cart – was seamlessly organised and we visited many attractions; some on the well-trodden tourist path such...

We booked this 2 day/1 night homestay via the internet with Come and Go Vietnam and were not disappointed. It was a private tour just for the two of us, the car was very comfortable and our English speaking guide was very good and looked after us well. This tour takes you into areas of the Mekong that you won't... More
